It took me 6 years to furnish an apartment...

The most depressing thing about deciding you're going to sell all of your belongings on craigslist is realizing that it's all only worth about $500.  Seriously?? It took me YEARS to finally own my own couch and bed and dresser and TV.  With the money I make by selling my entire life, I'll be able to buy half a mattress.  

The first piece of furniture I ever bought in LA...gone today. 

The chick I sold it to was so down to business.  She gave me a $50 deposit in exchange for 2 drawers.

Seriously? I'm moving again.

I guess packing up and moving to a new city has never been too scary for me....but I never thought I'd be doing it twice in one year.  And to Chicago??? Never saw that one coming. 

Six years ago in July, I packed up my 98' Honda Accord (which I totaled 3 months later) and drove from Minnesota to Los Angeles.  I had no idea what I was going to do when I got here and I had no idea if I was going to even want to stay...but it all worked out.  Now, six years later, I'm packing up my Honda Civic (which still isn't fully paid off...) and heading back to the Midwest. 

Let's hope I figure it all out pretty soon.
