The great debate...

**WARNING: Mindless and a little silly!**


Ok, well this debate is all in my head. It's also very simple...well to you maybe LOL.

What exactly should I be taking to Kansas? I mean besides the obvious, what "extras" do I take to help the place feel more like "home"? It's odd that the things I'm debating the most are my kitchen appliances. It's odd how everything suddenly became more important, even though I don't use them as often as I should. Case in point...my KitchenAid mixer. I've used it mainly to make mashed potatoes...DELICIOUS mashed potatoes but still. I should be baking my ass off with it (which would be awesome), however, when you see the ingredients you have to buy and then the waste the product will be because you know you won't eat it all...it becomes a waste of time and money to bake. Mashed potatoes however, that's reason enough. Afterall, the only oven I will have in Kansas is a toaster oven! The other reason it's an issue...we have a few friends that will be taking some of our stuff, only for the time we're in KS. Isn't it strange how such things suddenly have meaning to you but only when it's possibly going to be used by someone else? I suppose that question has more connotations than a KitchenAid mixer, but you get the gist. I've also been accused of being a bit of a pack rat, I mean I did, within the last few months, finally get rid of all my notes/tests/projects/etc from, oh about 8th grade through college. Yes, it was a disaster but it's something to consider.

Anyway, seriously....Crock pot, blender, food processor, mixer, stock pot, wok, all my knives, my utensils....UGH. There is no storage in that hotel and no room, hence my dilemma. I know it's silly but it's just on my mind tonight, since I'm going to try and figure it all out tomorrow. Wish me luck...I will need it. Afterall, anyone that's sentimental/worried about a mixer obviously needs help. LOL

Don't feel bad about the notes and papers/tests etc. I still have all of my notes from friends (shoeboxes full) from 6th grade through highschool and almost all of my papers from highschool through college. It's not like I look at them or anything, but one day they will be fun to read through. Sorry I can't help with the packing thing. If it were me, I'd take it all too. :o)

Haha thanks, I'm glad I'm not the only one! Then again, some of those written essays/research papers may have been profitable. I remember selling one of my HS senior papers to a college student (at the time) and he got an A. Haha, oh well. As for the move, I have no idea. I really don't, still clueless about what to take.

Wait...you are moving into a hotel room. Yeah, I'd say that kina limits what you can take.

Kitchen Aid mixer--mine is purely for decorative purposes at the moment. One day I will have a kitchen big enough to actually use it. When are you leaving? Like exact date? I was thinking you shoudl swing by my house and I'll send you off with some of those M. Gage cookies...
