Awash in stuff

Happy Father's Day to any dads out there!

As for me, I'm tackling the job of cleaning out some of the old stuff we still have stored in our church building, mostly leftovers from our grade school and am sitting here shaking my head over literally hundreds of uniform pieces. What the heck does a person DO with *piles* of khaki pants, white button-down shirts, sweatshirts, etc.... I mean, really? I haven't been able to find another school that uses the same colors and I hate the waste. Wish I could somehow turn them into at least a little money, we could really use it.

Also heaps of VHS movies and audio cassettes - no one uses them anymore, sigh... makes me feel old. I suppose they'll all just go into a rummage sale, unless we make rag rugs out of them. The clothes that is, not the vhs tapes, lol...

There are times I am grateful for an abundance of material goods, but this isn't really one of them.

Quiet and Noise

My house is Too Quiet - with my everloyal now off in an apt. of her own and my son now off to his summer job at a summer camp until August, all I have left is starbells and she's the quiet one! It's been very weird. Though it is nice to have a chance to fumigate clean his compost heap bedroom while he's gone and can't grunt about it protest.

On the happy, noisy side of things a lovely lady I met years ago through our LOTR boards who goes by Strange Elf will be in my area again in July and she's started belly dancing now. She's gets to come to my class with me, which will be a complete hoot!
