Wondrawerful

After 10 months of dating, it's happening....I'm accepting his offer of a drawer...or two.  I've dismissed the offer for a few months now, but practicality knocked on the door this weekend, and I'm listening.

I'm legitimately there EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND.  Maybe not the whole weekend, but part of it unless I'm out of town.  Every weekend I pack up all of my toiletries except for shampoo/conditioner, body wash and loofah.  In the last month I got a lip balm and a body lotion for the bedside table.

This weekend I decided it's time to give in and accept the drawers so I can leave all the toiletries there.  I'm going to have all the essentials:  deodorant, face lotion, a toothbrush, shave lotion, a razor, hair product, flossing picks, makeup remover wipes.  I'm probably also going to bring a couple of pairs of socks and underthings, maybe a sleep t-shirt, those kind of things to place in said drawer(s). He also offered me a bathroom drawer, so that's where all the actual toiletries will go.

All I can think is how much easier it will be to pack every weekend when all I'm grabbing is clothes and my makeup bag.  Cheers to the small things!

In many ways his home feels like my home.  There are definitely more and more little touches of me around there, which is so nice since I spend so much time there!  The good thing is that neither of us have to worry (not that I think we would) that I'm moving in there gradually, as I would NEVER live there outside of weekends as it's massively inconvenient to my office in downtown DC.  I'm a weekend stowaway only!  :-)

  1. Well that's very exciting! Packing for an overnight trip or even a quick weekend is such a hassle...I can't believe you've been dragging around toiletries for so many months! I often do without all my essentials for a stay-over, but it really does bother me when I don't have the supplies to complete my full flossing and mouthwash routine before bed. It's very nice that BF was the one to offer you the space though, rather than you having to hint at it - good BF!

    1. I don't know why I've resisted the drawer offer for so long--if it's not a big deal to him, why is it to me? Such silliness! :-) I'm over there enough that I don't want to be without the usual items for my routine anymore, and I also don't want to drag them around anymore. This weekend should be the last time...dragging them there to put them away. :-)

  2. Very convenient! I would hate having to pack all that stuff every time! I know me well enough to know I would be living out of the bag 24/7 because I would think "why unpack, I'll just have to pack it all back for next weekend".

    1. Yeah, unfortunately I have to unpack every week because those are all of my toiletries LOL. This should be much easier!

  3. That's amazing! It'll make things so much easier, and means you don't have to carry all these things around with you. It must have been a logistical nightmare in the past couple of months! That's also so sweet of BF, he's a lovely guy and so thoughtful!

    1. Yes, I'm very lucky! :-) So glad to stop lugging that junk back and forth every week after this weekend!

  4. I'm reminded of an episode of Sex and the City, when Carrie has to keep panties in her purse on nights she's staying with Mr. Big. I think it's quite sensible to have a drawer there, with no deeper meaning :)
