Really yesterday was my first day of unemployment, since Monday was Labor Day. And I'm doing the best at maximizing what this allows me to do... sleep in late is the #1 best feature of this predicament!
Never fear, I did go walking with the gals this morning; and I'm doing my best to be motivated to get packing... am cleaning out stuff, finding stuff to pitch/donate/give-away. Which in all reality is my main reason for being home... to prevent us from packing everything that we've had FOREVER!
Last night, I came across the most hysterical box of stuff. Let me preface by saying that I have all of my childhood things... neither parent is still holding onto my most precious jr. high notes from boys; or my homecoming mums, or my letter jacket. I have them all. So, therefore, I am allowed more boxes of never to be unpacked stuff then my spouse. Right? Ok, so last night, I opened up a box and found my cassette tape collection. Yes, collection. Mostly of Amy Grant (when she was a Christian singer); Duran Duran, in the early years, and the Beatles... more entertaininly were taped tapes from B93 radio station in Austin, Texas.
So, I played as if I were on "Clean Sweep" and I only allowed myself about a 1/3 of the collection... things I really would still listen to (as i have a tape player still in my car!). And the rest are headed elsewhere... now, in that box were also a load of 3 1/2 disks for the computer. I flipped through the picture ones on the computer (routing several to my facebook.com page) and will be tossing the rest. I laughed when I realized they only hold 8 pics per disk... and now we have thumbdrives that hold bazillion at a time!
So, today... I continue the cleaning quest... sending more items to the youth garage sale; and more items to Mr. Trashman.
