spring/summer cleanup

Ok, I admit, I missed spring cleanup. But I am making up for it now. I have gone through 3 closets so far, and Dean cleaned out our "crawl" space under the stairs. I cannot believe how much crap 2 people can accumulate. For those of you that know Dean, he has a really tough time letting go of stuff. So we decided that his 8 boxes of nursing books would make excelent kindling. I have the "new life center" scheduled to come and pick up a load of stuff.

They are pretty cool, the distribute the things to the homeless and needy, and have a small thrift store for the items that cannot be used by those in need. And they take anything. They are a Christian organization and our church helps to sponsor them.

So, I am so close to being able to afford my new camera, I can just about taste it. I found where I am going to order it from, and they throw in a battery and 2 gb of memory. I am so excited. I just need one more sale to go through. I am really proud of myself for saving up for this big purchase instead of "paying myself back." So by July I should have that beast in my hands! YEAH!
