@kay – I was the one pushing for participation; now I’m full o’ regret . . sorta. We’ll see what the payoff is.

@melanie – kingwood, but you’d better get here at 6 a.m. because that’s haggle o’clock!

@jay – thank you! hilarious in a sarcastic way, I presume. let me know if you’ve got some firearms to wheel & deal

@RK – stuff o’ rama is a headache for sure but the house feels lighter!

@cobbley – bring junk over – I’ll sell it and split the profits!

LOL, Jeff, this is too funny. Looks like we all are getting into the “Spring cleaning/ toy dump” phase. I just took a car full of clothes to Second Blessings and a truck full of toys to the kids daycare. I am not ashamed of my blatant ass-kissing at the daycare either. It comes in very handy should I need a favor down the line and offers the other kids there more things to play with. Either way, it is a win-win.

Good luck this weekend! I’ll be rooting for a big stuff blow-out.

Sounds like we could have a “who has the most crap they should have already gotten rid of” contest. Remember though – we have a huge garage. We tend to keep a bunch of stuff way beyond what we should thinking we’ll get around to doing something with it, like sell it, only to later donate it to Purple Heart. I look back at all that stuff and think “there is no way on earth our kids wore 3/4ths of this stuff more than never.”

OMG, freaking hilarious! I can actually SEE you arguing… I mean “haggling” with Colleen about doing this, too.

Don’t worry. When it all goes horribly ahw-ree I’ll be the person in front of you in line at Goodwill donating my own junk from Spring cleaning. Sure you don’t want any extra Christmas coffee mugs for your collection??
