Merging two people's stuff into one apartment is going to have its challenges. I tried my best to prevent moving unnecessary items by listing out ahead of time what we were bringing to the table. We each have a toaster? Okay, which one works better? 2 copies of The Italian Job on DVD? We'll keep the one with no scratches and a less beat up case.
One thing I did not fully anticipate was the number of glasses a person can accumulate over years of borrowing them from the dorm cafeteria (Lydia), inheriting them from relatives (Bob) and stealing them from bars (Lydia and Bob). The end result when I unpacked every box labeled "Kitchen: Glasses - Fragile"?
- 10 red wine glasses
- 8 white wine glasses
- 4 stemless wine glasses
- 4 dessert wine glasses
- 5 juice glasses
- 6 mugs
- 17 pint glasses
- 5 water glasses
- 8 ice tea glasses
- 10 pilsner glasses
- 4 old fashioned glasses
- 2 martini glasses
- 3 shot glasses
- 7 brandy snifters
- 2 Duvel glasses
- 8 teacups w/ saucers
and 4 of whatever this little thing is supposed to hold!
Wow, I am just impressed you know the names of that many types of glasses! Although can you really separate out Juice, water, and iced tea into different categories? The apartment looks nice though... can't wait to see more photos.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know what iced tea glasses were until Bob told me that's what they were. Juice glasses are smaller and my water glasses (which probably isn't the right term) are my tall straight ones.
