Trial Run

I am not sure exactly how I will do at blogging. I have some free-time, at least for right now with summer vacation and only working part-time summer school, to try and get this running. I can't promise anything fancy right away, but with time I may actually add a song and links. If ever there were a time for me to learn, it would be now; with work, we won't be taking 3 weeks of vacation this year as we did last year!

Instead, we will be local, mostly at the pool that we just joined. I am also undergoing project organize my house. We have torn apart all of the closets in our house and majorly condensed. I feel as if we have discovered lost treasure in the items that we had forgotten that we own. Some great examples include:

• credits for several rounds of paint to play paintball
• restaurant gift cards
• expensive calculators from college
• a headset for my phone (I was going to buy one in the near future.)
• gift bags and wrapping for most yearly occassions

Some things that I cannot believe that we were hanging onto:

• birthday cards from as early as 1989
• chargers for phones that have since broken and that we have already gotten rid of
• over twenty-five empty shoe boxes

Let's just say that there were so many other things that we cannot throw away all of the trash in one week. We have a set limit of the amount that we can put out, and I would estimate that it will be 3 weeks before the garage is empty of our closet cleanings.

Alex said that this was as much work as moving and that we should just buy a new house!
