This blog seems to be quite ADD. I still haven't gotten down the creek, but it WILL HAPPEN SOON! I got majorly distracted by belated spring cleaning. I had been slowly cleaning the house since getting back, but we donate our old stuff. This slows down the process because my mom meticulously logs everything we donate, so we can get a sweet tax break. When she move out of her house (effectively donating half of everything that was in it), she got a couple thousand dollars back, so it's worth while.
Anyway, now that I have a working laptop again, I decided to stop waiting for my mom and take the matter into my own hands. Organizing and logging junk is REALLY tiring... But since yesterday I've accumulated a lot of stuff to donate.
Most of the stuff is junk (albeit well-cared for junk that the thrift store should be happy to receive, unless they look a gift horse in the mouth like last time- See Side Story -->)
SIDE STORY!
My mom had stored a lot of clothes and a bunch of
other stuff from my childhood that for some reason
she thought I'd take when I have kids. And this
was nice stuff, not raggedy old stuff that had been
left to be eaten by moths in the attic.
So she was somewhat horrified when she saw
the woman at the thrift store throwing out
WHOLE BOXES off our donated stuff,
apparently because if we're donating
lots of stuff, most of it has to be junk.
That was literally their reasoning.
But then I found these old tea cups just packed away in a box lid. I'd like to know the whole story about these tea cups journey, since from what I know they seem lucky to still be here. First my mom saved them from the blackhole of my grandma's house (G-ma's an agoraphobic horder, you see) and it's a good thing she did because a couple of years ago we had a family reunion and start cleaning out a lot of G-ma's house. So these tea cups probably would have been tossed too, since they don't match. Then I ended up saving them from my mom's house when she was donating everything.
Pictures! Look at the pictures! (A whole bunch turned out blurry >:( So I'll be adding new ones tomorrow hopefully)
