The unavoidable future

All the clothes I own are strewn in mounds in my bedroom. There are mountains of toilet paper, cleaning supplies, and random canned goods looming in every corner of the house. We have a dishwasher in the back of our car. In a normal person's life, I'm not sure what this would mean, but for us there's only one explanation: we're moving again.
Costco should be very thankful. Several times a week for the last month or so, I've been heading over there, spending ridiculous amounts of money, and pushing an overloaded grocery cart home through the streets like a bag lady.
We bought a baby swing and a portable dishwasher on Craigslist. Everything in Brazil is way more expensive than here in the US-- especially if you're talking about Craigslist, USA.
And speaking of being cheap thrifty, I'm really excited to find out the sex of our baby this Thursday. That will give me a couple of days to go buy thrift shop baby clothes before our stuff packs out next week.
