Thursday June 16, 1991
I am in the midst of packing. I am the only person packing now and I think the only person who has to ship things home. These younger people have lived temporary, disposable lives here and have no qualms with leaving their books and other acquisitions.
But I, ever the homemaker, have spent two years buying objects for my home. My passion for things could be a bit materialistic, but I prefer to characterize it as a desire to make the mundane beautiful. Anyway, I have a lot of last minute shopping to do. M2 says I'm a "power shopper." I wonder what GG would say to that. I mean after she stopped laughing.
From a letter to BAB.
