1. I'm six feet tall. (OK, in all honesty, 5'11", but when I wear heels, which is often, I'm 6'2".)
3. I have several close friends who I have known for more than half my life.
4. The one I've known the longest is My Best Friend From High School, a/k/a MBFFHS a/k/a Francesca.
6. When confronting someone who needs a smackdown, I apply bright red lipstick. It scares them.

8. Even without heels, I have an aerial view of most men's receding hairlines.
11. All my female ancestors are very bossy women.
14. My kids are the best. So there. Beautiful, smart, strong, fearless.
23. I don't have a uvula, tonsils, adenoids, or part of my upper palate (a very small part, so it's not like I have a big hole there or anything). So it's not like I'm a complete or total (*snerk*) woman or anything. Just bits and pieces.
27. I've lived in the United States and Spain. Maybe I'll add more later, or maybe I'll remove this list. We'll see.

I keep looking around my place thinking, I really need to shed some of this crap. I clean out my closet twice a year and its time. You are inspiring me to get it done sooner rather than later!
Hey, knowing you have to carry it to a new place when you're not allowed to lift more than 10 lbs. is real inspiration for chucking stuff right and left.
We're going through the same process of purging. We will not, however, be moving. Only getting rid of crap.
There's something cathartic about this kind of purge. One should have to move every five years or so, just as a spur to winnow out all that we collect but don't really need (he says, knowing it would be a painful exercise for him...)
I *dread* my next move. I've got *so* much stuff I know I'm going to need professional movers to do the whole lift 'n shift thing....
Champ: Good for you! I only do this when I move. Any non-celery stuffing recipes? You're the man, you know.
Wunelle: it is painful, but once one gets started, it is kind of fun.
Mr. Cat: Pro movers, plus pro-piano movers. Yeehaw.
