Needs, wants and desires

The garage sale went really well.  We advertised in the local paper and Mike was shocked that people showed up an hour and a half early.  He hardly had time to set everything up.  But, after the first day, it's almost all gone and we made around 700 dollars!  Time to buy some things for the boat.

I have a very short list of things I really want/need for our move in date.
1.  Drawer liners - the boat is OLD and the drawer liners look original
2.  Keurig - smallest size available.  We've cut down our coffee consumption so greatly that we've really "earned" a Keurig.
3.  A trip to Ikea is necessary for a dresser for the state room.  Ikea why?  Because their furniture comes unassembled!  We had two coffee tables that we really liked, one fit in the salon, the other wouldn't, under any circumstances, go into the stateroom.  So if it comes in a box, it'll most likely fit down the stairs!
4.  Storage...of some sort.  I'd like to get 5 or so bins that will fit under the couch in order to store kitchen stuff.  I'd like to get nice bins...not sure if that's possible?  I wish the other liveaboard blogs I've been reading would address all this mundane stuff.
So those 4 things are musts...kinda.  I'm not going to do anything except the drawer liners until we're on the boat for a few weeks.  I want to get a good feel for what is important.

Our 25th anniversary is in August and we really wanted to renew our vows and have a bit of a party, but I'm backing down now.  I feel like I just want to concentrate on "what the boat needs".  LOL.  Our anniversary is important and one of the benefits of selling EVERYTHING is the financial windfall that can be used on...anything.  I sold my kiln and wheel and just what I made on them would pay for a very nice party.  BUT...

I think there's a funny thing that happens when you decide to break out of your shell and try something new, you get addicted to trying new things!  First it was going back to school and starting the nursing program.  Then it was motorcycles.  Shocking even now because I was so against them.  But now I love riding and want to plan a long trip on our bikes.  All these things seems to lead the way to taking as big a leap as moving aboard.  If this is a mid life crisis, bring it on!
