• Our garage is a nightmare

  I am so, so hot!  I can feel the heat radiating off my body as I write this, LOL.  We have been pulling everything out of our garage--the garage that we haven't parked in since I moved in seven years ago, because I filled it with furniture and boxes.  Many of my things never fit in the house.  People always try to say to me something like, "If you haven't used it in a year, you should get rid of it", but that's not quite the case with me.  I couldn't use my things, because there wasn't enough room for them!

  Anyways, we have two main categories:  storage or garage sale.  If I come across something that I know can't be rescued, I throw it away.  Some of my boxes were never unpacked--I am actually re-taping them and they will just move along with us~when we get into our new house, I will unload them and probably have another garage sale. 

  I have seven years worth of teaching supplies that my husband wants me to sell or throw away, but I really need to go through it.  There are so many things I can use with our homeschool, and so many pictures and keepsakes that I need to remove.  It will probably move with us...

  I found my "senior book"--most seniors bought a pre-made book, but I made my own--a huge album of pictures and mementos.  (I'd love to scan some pics later from it to post!).  It shouldn't have been in the garage--this whole time I thought it was in one of our closets with all of my photo albums!

  Well, I ordered pizza for us and now that I've cooled off some, I am going to work until it arrives.  At least it's starting to cool off outside!
