Who knew a mortgage was only the beginning? As I work through packing up our current home, I'm keeping a running list of "Things To Buy For Our Move to Barbie's Dream Home." So far I've got:

• 2 sets shower curtains and 3 sets of bath mats
• Bookshelves - 5 to 8 of them. Not kidding. We packed 30 boxes today, all of them books from the built-in bookshelves that our current home has and our new home does not. Prompting me to look at Blair about 1 p.m. today and ask, "Where the hell are we going to put all these books?!"
• Flat screen TV (okay, so we're late adapters)
• Shoe racks
• Decorative cotton ball holder 
• Vanity chair for master bath
