Yard Sale

With the preparation for company to arrive in full swing we've been cleaning out closets and scrubbing bathrooms. (Because everyone knows that guests judge you based on how organized your closets are and how sparkling your bathroom faucet is!!)

In our early spring cleaning mode we've been taking loads of things to the D.I. and we've filled the garbage cans to their capacity each week. This is unusual for us. I try to recycle whenever possible and reduce the amount of waste that we create, which often means that we could go a month or more without needing to have our garbage picked up. But now... it's overflowing and I want it outta here!!

Which brings me to the next item. We've had yard sales here and there over the years and finally determined that the amount of effort, stress, exhaustion and time that it takes is just not worth it! But I think I might change my tune. I've decided to have one today!! There's only one thing for sale and I'm actually willing to part with it for free! I want all the white stuff that accumulated in my yard last night to be gone! Gone and replaced by sunshine and green lush spring like days!!

The ground hog said six more weeks and this is seven! Enough is enough! In the last week we went for leisurely walks, rode bikes, flew a kite, saw neighbours that had come out of hibernation finally and went to the park for a picnic. I even hung a load of laundry outside again (don't get me started on the fresh smells and crisp sheets that I crawled into that night... ahhhh heavenly). We found that we didn't have to be at each other's throats cooped up inside all the time with only the wii as an escape from cabin fever!! And now... even though people said it was coming back... I turned a deaf ear and refused to accept the inevitable, hoping that pretending that it wasn't so would be enough to make it go somewhere else where it might be appreciated... I mean really.. don't you think people in Hawaii would love to build a snowman... just for a few days?

So don't squabble... believe me there's enough for everyone... just come and get it! Take it all away!

Disclaimer: there is a firm no return policy, no exceptions. The nature of the stuff is that it will get dirty and melt away.. it is at the discretion of the taker to deal with it!
