Starting off February right!
If the above photo doesn't make your heart race, then read on and check out the rest of the photos
below for a thrill! 8-)
I finally got the Daughter to go through the boxes of crap in her old room. This would be all the junk she left strewn about her room when she went away to college for the first time last Fall, that I then boxed up and stacked in the closet.
After she brought the boxes of things downstairs, I went through everything she designated to throw out before it was pitched. 4 garbage bags of actual trash left 2 weeks ago. Sorry, I forgot to take photos of that....
And here is what I gleaned from the designated crap that can be recycled via Salvation Army.
1 Pr. Rubber Boots
12 Assorted Hats
3 Guitar Books
1 Art Case with some Art Supplies in it(pastels/colored pencils)
3 Stencils
4 HeadBands/Bandanas
1 Make-up Case(filled with hair bands, clips)
1 Fan/Water Bottle Spritzer thingy
8 YA Books
2 Purses
1 Personal Planner
2 Silly Hats
4 HeadBands/Bandanas
1 Flat Iron Hair Straightener
And yes that's a flat iron hair straightener and it works! She had to have that expensive tool once upon a time. Do you know how many Rite-Aid +Up Rewards it cost me???!!
I also gleaned various HBA products that still had stuff in the containers. These went back into the toiletries supply closet and drawers or her personal box of "in use" toiletries. When she comes home she's using these up before she opens a new product! Just because I don't pay money for toiletries doesn't mean she can throw out products when they are only half used!
Argh!!!
In addition to the half-used HBA goods, I gleaned a fistful of pens and pencils, cork board thumb tacks, some change(???!!!), 10 notebooks(with only a few pages used so I ripped those out and I have 10 new notebooks!), college prep books, knitting needles, novelty jewelry, her French Honor Society & National Honor Society pins, Academic Letter(for her letter jacket) and a perfectly good cell phone.
She was throwing away a working cell phone.....actually it was TWO cell phones but when I told her they were in her garbage pile, she went and took one out.
WTF?
Ok, the one she still wanted to throw out was "old" and not "fashionable" and didn't have a qwerty keyboard.....who could possibly be expected to use that one?! *insert eye rolls here*
The next time she loses her phone or something happens to it and she is desperate for a "phone fix", I'll sell her back this one she can't be bothered with. ;-)
After Hubs emptied his car at Sallie's last month, I got busy filling it back up again with new toy/old eBay inventory......
1 Small Soldiers Board Game
1 Small Soldiers Slot Car Set
2 Fisher-Price Briarberry Doll Furniture Sets
1 Cinderella 50th Anniv. Doll
1 Blackbeard's Ship Model Kit
3 Star Wars Concept Vehicles Sets
1 Box of Cinderella Trading Cards
2 Replica #1 Spider-man Comic Books
1 Johnny Lightning Partridge Family die-cast Bus
1 Box Star Wars metal trading cards
1 Power Rangers PVC White Ranger Figure
1 101 Dalmatians Night Light
1 Matchbox Replic Double-Decker Bus
1 Racing Champions Surf Rods die-cast Car
1 Racing Champions Set of 5 KISS die-cast Cars
58 more items this trip makes 108 total for the year(added to last month's 50 item donation).
2 donation trips down for 2012, lots more to go!
