Unpacking

The moving phase, as of last night, is officially over. We're in the unpacking and getting settled in phase. The first things I had to unpack were rather easy because they were organized by where they belong... Office stuff was in boxes with other office stuff. Yarn was packed with other yarn. Easy peasy.

If you'd been here on Monday evening, you would have sworn I was completely unpacked.

Well, then came all the straggling items... I guess you could call this stuff clutter, but most of it's functional clutter... It's stuff I actually do use.... The problem is that for some reason or another, this collection of stuff is homeless.

I have that problem with some items, I can't really explain why. A good example might be my butter dish. I have this nice butter dish for sitting on the table... 90% of the time, I doubt I will use it, butter belongs in the fridge (Matt will argue with me about this, but letting butter sit out is totally gross in my opinion), and the butter dish doesn't fit in the butter area of the fridge.... So where to put when it's not in use. There's plenty of cabinet space, but I can't decide on where to put it... so it keeps just sitting there on the counter.

If someone else were to come in my house, take my butter dish and put it somewhere in my cabinet, I'd probably adopt that as it's home.. but for some reason, I can't seem to figure out where it belongs myself.

I'm like that with a lot of items, no idea why. Then, there's other items that I know exactly where they go.
