Uff Da! the Dust!!!!

I started with this many boxes in the corner of the closet. There are three for Chief to sort through. Papers and his "before me" stuff. Adding to this, I will stack the three boxes from the end of our bed, because it may be a long long bloody long time before Chief ever goes through them. So, while I wait for that "dream" to come true, I can rest easier not banging my toes into them at night. Yes, I get up at night and stub my toes 'cos I'm blind as a bat at night. Bats have radar . . . I do not and my ears . . . fogettaboutit.


The boxes, gone (closet); luggage in the closet; the box of books, trudged (backbreakingly) down the stairs to shelve down there. Oh, my lovelies how I've missed you!! Sorry. The stack of pictures, will remain to be hung some time by the end of the millennium. Kidding. Maybe this month. Maybe October.

Chief's bookcase before:
Chief's bookcase after: w/ a box of stuff he should sort straight away.
Oh, and lookee what I found! My mono adhesive tape refills! For about $40 I got 40 or so of them. For $20 you can get four refills. I have a friend in MD who ordered in bulk and cut us some of the deals. Nice! There's also a pirate quilt kit and a girl's quilt kit (in plastic bag) . . . maybe by winter I'll have done them up.


This was at the top of the box. Ha ha ha! I don't even have a record player any longer. I think I haven't had one since I moved off Bainbridge Island . . . but for an import album, it's good music, as I remember. That's all I have of it is memories. I won't buy a record player just to play this. Yes, it's going in the bin. No point in lugging it around - it's warped anyway.
I used to think Nick Rhodes was such a hottie. Whatever!

UPDATE: Later, I decided to move all the pictures to the end of the hallway by our door (they are all neatly leaned against the wall . . . this will eventually annoy me and put my arse in gear to get them hung up faster, believe me). So, look at all that space! If I stub my toes now there's seriously something wrong with me. Gosh, I feel absolutely fantastic!! I haven't felt this good in a week or so!!

See that cute greenish rocker in by the dresser? My grandparents (dad's folks) had this for us grandkids ever since I can remember. I'll have to verify this "fact" but I believe it was my dad's when he was a little squirt. I have a few old pieces that mean a lot to me so I'm glad they moved here alright.

Whoooot! Good job, and finding the refills.

That album could be worth good money even warped. Check Ebay.
