Hooray? Our stuff is here. ALL the stuff

My No-shop-vember just got a whole lot easier! I don’t think we’ll be buying for a while.

So nice that my son now has more pairs of pants than there are days in a week! However, he has grown so much that I think the items in pic 2 are now too small for him.

The season for this jacket has probably passed, but I’ll wear it in the spring. I’ve been looking forward to these boots! I had forgotten the issue with them—no laces, zippers or other closures/openers. Took me forEVER to get my feet into them. I’ll have to get a shoe horn.

My capsules from last fall & winter are right here (ooh, I see a vest to wear with these boots & pants), but I’ll take my time sorting through everything else.

It‘s actually not all the stuff—there‘s probably 6 pallets worth in storage in Florida. I’ll be glad when we are no longer subletting and can get it.

Cardiff, as I was going through all this, my mom was asking me about the shoes for my son for actual Christmas, and clothes for me. Felt a little surreal.

Yay! I remember this feeling; we had about two months between when we packed up our house in Las Vegas and when we unpacked in New Hampshire. DS was just shy of 2 years old at the time, so by the time we received our boxed-up stuff, he'd outgrown most of it. I'd simultaneously lost some weight, and I remember joking, "His clothes are too small for him, mine are too big for me -- too bad we can't just swap!"

You know, I love the sleek look of a boot with no side-zip but it's so hard to find pairs that aren't a pain to put on. I wonder if yours will loosen up a bit as they break in.

Hurrah Boots w no zips are a no go for me. Getting them on isnt the issue usually, but dont want to ask mr suntiger to help me pull them off!

Yay. You can have lots of fun.

Very happy for you. Getting that shipment feels like you can get on with life in your new home, as well as reuniting with the “stuff” that make up the nesting part of “home. “

Whoop! It’s like getting a massive amount of prezzies! I feel so excited and it’s not my stuff, lol!

Great! You must be so relieved.

So.... I'm curious about something. Given how much style work you've done while waiting for your clothes, do you still like/want to keep them all? Or are any of them looking a bit "meh" to you now? Maybe you could report back on this once you've had a chance to get unpacked and reacquainted with your stuff.

Elizabeth P, great intuition on your part! I am not excited to be going through so much stuff. It's an entire pallet, 10 suitcase size pieces. So far I've opened a suitcase of sheets and towels. I never would've thought I'd be so happy to see my own bedsheets! But until I find the comforter, there's no point unpacking them. I've also gone through a couple suitcases of clothing, and have most of the clothes and shoes I was looking forward to. So what on earth is all the rest of it? I know there is a duffel with cookware and books, and that trunk has dresses and winter accessories. That leaves 5 other things.

Trudging onwards...

Wow! Exciting! I too am really interested to hear the insights you gain from having been separated from your stuff and now reunited with it. Keep us posted!

They’re here! There’s a long story as to how I thought they and a bunch of other nice things were lost, but they weren’t. I am so relieved! That’s a good end to the evening; I think I’m going to sleep well tonight.

What a relief! I hope the unpacking is quick and painless.

Thanks Gigi! It’s going faster than I expected, tbh. Think I will finish today. My goal for the day (I said this to my son twice while he was getting ready for school) is to be able to walk to the front door without killing ourselves.

I may have packed a larger wardrobe than is absolutely necessary. Yes, that is understatement, intended to be humorous.

In my defense, part of it is due to wanting to be sure I was ready for the cold—9 undershirts, 8 bodysuits (that I wear essentially like undershirts), 14 pairs of tights, 8 pair footless tights/leggings, and 5 longjohns. And 18 pr socks. Also more loungewear than I needed in Florida. Flannel pjs & nightgown, Woolrich lounge pants, and my Florida winter pjs, altogether 15 pieces, including what I already had here. That’s 77 items. I’m aware that some people have fewer items in their entire wardrobe. No, I don’t feel guilty.
