I spent a large chunk of last weekend rearranging rooms. Some people spring clean, I spring arrange. There isn't a single room in the house that hasn't been rearranged at least once since we moved in, most 2 or 3 times. Not just because our needs have changed, but because I was tired of the rooms. Well, I suppose the bathrooms haven't changed. I'm not much of a plumber, so those sinks are going to stay where they are. Although I would like a bathtub in the master bath. Who designs a master bath without a bathtub?



Anyhow, I digress. We've now lived here for 5 years- it's the longest I've lived anywhere since graduating from high school. My parents moved into their house when I was a few months old and I lived there until I went off to college. Is that strange? I didn't think it was that wierd- I went to school with mostly the same kids from 2nd through 12th grades and few of them moved. But then in college I discovered that living in the same house your whole life is strange. Even stranger I suppose is that my folks still live there. I can't imagine that. I'm ready to move on from here and start somewhere else. It's that nomadic heritage human's have I guess. So it's a poll- what's the longest you've lived anywhere?

  1. 17 years (I'm doing my blog catch-up today) - and yes, my folks do still live there today (though the house may fall down on its own soon)
