**hangs head in shame** I am a hoarder. I hate to part with stuff as there is usually some sentimental connection to it. BUT, I do curb it and once a year viciously purge anything that does not make me smile. As a child we moved around a lot from my dad's military service, so it is my theory that now I make up for it by keeping everything.

Hubby and I try to keep equal personal space (though he does claim the kitchen is mine which is usually met with the typical eye roll and a snort). Stake your claim sweetie and fight to the death for it.
