The Most Boring Site on the Web...

I am posting our household inventory lists here.

Why?

Because I'm organizing our hoard, and we need a digital place to park the lists, you know, just in case of fire, tornado, flood, earthquake, theft, etc.

There will be nothing fancy here, perhaps a few pictures, occasional insights, mostly laborious lists of questionable possessions belonging to anonymous people who, in the greater scheme of things, really do not matter.

You might wonder why I'm doing this...

Because no one in my house wants to throw anything away, and I'm tired of looking at it--no--TRIPPING over it, so I have embarked on a long-term project of inventorying it, packing it up, and putting it out of sight and out of mind.

So when we die, our children can deal with it, but in a more organized fashion.

So if you LOVE reading tedious lists of other people's boring junk, then this is the place for you.

Otherwise, you would do well to move along.

But as long as you behave, you're still welcome...

;=)

Have a nice day!
