break time
whew!
Been working in the parlor all morning. Reclaiming space and relocating furniture.
Decided to send the encyclopedias in the direction of the zillas. If they do not want them, they can either recycle them or pitch them, no biggie.
I am also filling one grocery bag with assorted craft/decorating magazines and random romance novels for zilla; put the "popular science" set - goes with the encyclopedias - into another bag for the boy, and tossed in a few Robert Ludlum paperbacks. The "kid set" that goes with the encyclopedias has only turned up two of it's ten volumes so far, but that bag is started also.
Currently, there are five brown paper grocery bags filled to head in their direction; two filled to go to Restore; and a half-dozen ready to go to the workshop tomorrow for recycling.
All the Smart Money magazines have or will hit my own recycle bags, as the entire investing world has changed and nothing in there is pertinent any longer.
I strongly suspect having this auspicious number of filled sacks in my living room qualifies me as royalty in the bag lady club...
So I ***am*** making progress. Getting my scrapbooking backlog collected and corralled - will not really get much more done with it until fall, I suspect, but I am getting it under control.
The train is in the living room. It will possibly fit on the cute guy's deck step in the back, so it is on hold for now...but out of my parlor.
Of course, at this exact moment, both the parlor AND the living room look like a bomb exploded in them...
Guess I know what I will be doing after lunch!
