Out with the old…

It’s definitely time to eBay the things we no longer need/use/want. These boxes of items have been with us since the apartment upstairs (over a year ago) so it’ll definitely feel good once this stuff leaves our apartment.

I was inspired by an article called How to Kick Your Clutter and Live in a Clean House Once and For All so I sent it to Gavin last week. (He actually read it!)

Gavin asked me to help him post his stuff, since there’s a lot of it. I only have a few things of my own to deal with. He gave me all the specs and then I got to it.

Since we were past the keep/toss/store stage (these were all ear-marked as “to sell”), I split the boxes into more relevant categories:
– posted (eBay/Craigslist)
– to be posted
– photo needed

We have tons of boxes and shipping supplies ready. I’ve already posted over ten eBay items! There’s a lot to go but this is definitely progress.

I juiced some oranges for us for an extra boost of vitamin C; also since I have a sneaking suspicion there’s a winter cold trying to catch me off guard.

In other good news, I finally got us a knife sharpener and sharpened all of our knives- particularly the ones we use for slicing fruits and vegetables. It is like night and day.

Saturday Schtuff

I’d like to kick off this weekend with some adorable cat photos.

On Saturday morning, I went running with Elisa. It had been awhile since we last ran together and it felt good to get out. Afterward, she and I went to brunch at a place called Jacob’s Pickle’s for biscuits and mimosas. I am kicking myself right now for missing a great photo op of both our food and the place itself.

When I got back home, I had a lot of energy so I did the laundry and organized the office shelves (which had gotten pretty disorderly over the past few weeks.) Now, while there’s still a bunch of things on the shelves, atleast they are things we want to display.

By the time I was done, it was time to eat. Gavin made the most amazing buffalo chicken pizza. As in, AMAZING. I want to eat this every day it’s so good.

Now we’re watching football and Baltimore just made a pretty sweet touchdown. I saw the replay. It was pretty epic.
