Tuesday Ten

So no, I haven't fallen off the face of the earth. No excuses this time. LOL

Ten things I'd like to get rid of ...

1. The old, tacky, smooshed up Christmas decorations - mainly pine type garlands - that we "inherited" from my mother-in-law (sorry Mom, love you! we do like and use a lot of them!)

2. The cans of kidney beans that I can't bring myself to eat but since they haven't yet expired, my frugal nature won't permit me to get rid of (these might be donated to Scouting for Food in a couple weeks, though, lol)

3. The remaining Mexicana yarn in my possession. (That one is just plain sad.)

4. My "old" pots and pans. We requested Circulon cookware when we got married. Received a bunch ... ended up hating it. I now have Calphalon stuff (thanks to dh, for my 30th) and I STILL can't get myself to let go a year later. (Anyone want a very well used bunch of pans? Pay shipping and they're yours!)

5. Our towels. They're old, ratty and look as if they've been used by 6 people with sharp implements instead of hands. Maybe Santa will bring us some in the appropriate colors for Christmas this year.

6. VCR tapes. We don't have a working VCR, but we have several hundred VCR tapes. Can I let go of them? Nooooo ... I keep waiting for a way to preserve what's on them, as opposed to purchasing the DVD.

7. 15 pounds. (Don't we all??)

8. My old college notebooks. You read that right, NOTEbooks, not TEXTbooks. I still have them. I keep thinking I'll need the notes for something.

9. Our old purple couch. It isn't as heinously bright as purple indicates, but we've had it for years and it looks like we've had it for years, and has faded to, of all things, a cross between brown, purple and black. Yuck.

10. Last but not least ... our leaky roof. Hopefully that one will be resolved in the near future with as little pain as possible!
