My New Hobby

The garden is coming along just smashingly, if I might say so myself.  We already have sprouts of corn, squash and cantaloupe.  The other plants are doing well and I even used some of the cilantro in Friday's dinner...mmmm! 

However, gardening is not my new hobby, though I'm finding it fun to dabble in.  My new hobby is....

De-junking! 

Don't let Shane know, please.  I'd like to keep it our little secret.  Thanks!

I decided that since we have agreed that we're done replenishing the earth with mess-making, food-eating, smell-infusing, noise-inflating small ones, we should probably start getting rid of some of their stuff.  I didn't realize we had such a nice, big family room until I returned the two wonderful borrowed exersaucers (thank you so much Christina).  With the bumbos, bouncers, infant car seats, strollers, swings, bottles, clothes, and blankets packed up I've realized I have a fairly large house and we may need to downsize...(except for the toys, how do they keep multiplying?)

I started an account on Craigslist and listed a few things...walah!  People pay money for things I don't want anymore...maybe I could get people to take the dust and dirt too?

The de-junking spirit has spread into other areas of my life too, not just baby stuff.  Now all of the sudden the front closet isn't precariously packed with odds and ends never to be looked at again...it's got rhyme and reason!

And the most shocking thing...?!?!?  Shane made a little slip of the tongue on Saturday and said that if I could make a place in the garage we could put the fridge out there!  Yep, nothing like two months of nagging, complaining and a little de-junking to get him in the mood to keep the precious refrigerator!  He told me I could sell anything I wanted out there too, as long as I stayed away from his tools...Oh, the possibilities!

So, like I said...it's a secret.  Shhhh.  If Shane finds out he might rescind his offer to keep the fridge....just saying!
