Tiny House

I'm still in a bit of a funk after being sick, but finally starting to feel like myself again! Today's post is another meme, because I am tired.

Someone's paying you to move into one of those tiny house everyone is talking about. If you can survive a whole year in that house with just the things on this list, you get a bajillion dollars. Tell us how you fill in this List Of Things You Can Take With You:

5 books

3 outfits

You have a fridge/stove/oven - but you can only take 1 counter-top appliance

1 DVD collection of a TV show (your budget doesn't allow for Netflix)

1 childhood artifact

They will give you ONE subscription to a magazine - what is it?

1) Pride and Prejudice, The Bible, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, Watchers, and HP and the Deathly Hallows. If you know me even a little bit, four of these five will not surprise you. 

2) It's all about the layers and the accessories! I will definitely want comfy stretchy pants, sweaters, blazer, pashmina, sneakers, boots, sandals, and comfy tank or tshirt for layering. 

3) My countertop appliance would be a crock pot, but I seriously debated a food processor because it is more versatile. However, I use my crock pot all the time and don't even own a food processor, so that made the decision easy. 

4) I don't have a favorite tv show, so nothing in this category really jumped out at me as a must-have. With that in mind, I think I would choose The Simpsons because there are a million episodes I've never seen, and I know it'll amuse me. 

5) I don't have too many relics from my childhood. No favorite stuffed animal or anything like that. For this one, I think I would pick a deck of cards. I played a lot of cards as kids: with my brothers, with our grandparents and extended family, on the bus, and at school. And I know many different kinds of solitaire!

6) National Geographic. Hands down. 

My initial reaction is that I could do this challenge. Yes, I have a bunch of stuff, but I'm an introvert and have spent a bunch of time in tight quarters on ships. My house in Astoria was pretty small and I almost never went in the spare bedroom, so I'm pretty sure this wouldn't bother me for one year. And who knows, maybe it would convince me to pare down.
