Through october 2- socks and fuzzy fur.

 See this?  i cleaned Bobo's room.  For those of you that actually read this but don't know Bobo, he is our adult man-child.  He lives upstairs and is a slob from time to time.  He makes his bed but there is trash and socks and crap all over the floor.  All of these socks were under the bed.  So I used them to clean. He doesn't and won;t miss them.  I also had this random piece of fuzzy fabric.  I went with the "i can replace it for 10 bucks or less" rule and threw it away.

Throught Sept 27th- crepe paper streamers and a stocking



 So i had all this crepe paper.  I was going to make flowers but they looked like shit so i abandoned that idea.  I did however have it on hand for my boss's 60th birthday.  I think it looks classy.
 Also, i feel bad about this one but we dont decorate for Christmas so i gave this to a friend who is into owls.  My friend Sarah made it and it was rad but I had to let it go.

Through the 25th: cookie tins, housewares, a blankie and an AWESOME tank top

 I never make cookies.  And if I do it is more of a plate portion than a tin.  These have been collecting dust and spiders for too long!  I put them in the recycle bin because i just needed them gone.  George just got a new roommate and so he needed some housewares.  I hope none of this was important but I gave it all to him anyway.  2 corningwares, a pot and a glass dish. 

 This furry blanket is stinky.  forever stinky.  (not the dogs, the blanket UNDER the dogs)It has seen better days so i gave it to the dogs.  They seem to enjoy it for now but soon it will be totally trashed.  I loved it so.  And then there is the tank top.  i have help on to it for YEARS but now it is time to let go.  I gave it to Jen who is friends with the lady who used to own cookie puss.  Jen also likes KISS.  So she can wear it or sew it to a bag or something.

Through Spet 19: peppers gourds and plastic party cups!

 These were 12 of the hottest peppers in the world.  THE WORLD.  Ghost peppers, 7 pot peppers, scorpion peppers....Scott was too afraid to use them.  honestly, so was I.  Eventually they went bad because we didn't dry them properly.  Below is a bucket of gourds.  One year i planted some birdhouse gourd seeds and i got all of these!  I gave them to Mr. Ice for the kids she teaches about gardening.
 Oh, look.  I have thrown this away about 4 times.  I keeps coming back.  not this time though!

Through Sept 16

 Well, yesterday my eyebrow was wonky and i sure could have used one of those eyebrow brushes that i carelessly discarded!  Anyway, i had this emergency rain poncho in my car for the past... oh, 17 years.  And i also tossed out the wedding folder from wedding planning.  It was full of way snotty super expensive wedding ideas.

 Oh look, a tiny Asian dress for your wine bottle!  And then in the attic i found 7 boxes of Christmas decorations i will never ever use.  I am donating them to the East Atlanta Santa i think.

A plethora of items! this catches me up to around Sept 8

Well, this post will bring me to around Sept 8.  First let me say I dropped my lunch walking out the door this morning and shattered a plate.  One less plate to worry about!  I also broke the taco shells but I will eat them anyway.  So I made the blanket in the first picture.  It was my beloved reeses peanut butter cups sleeping bag.  I would sew patches to cover tears and over time it became a quilt with a zipper inside.  It smelled like dog and was falling apart so i had to let it go.  I gave it to the dogs for a while so then it really smelled bad.  I was sad to see it go.

 Um, somehow i got a 2 pack of eyebrow combs.  This is a silly item and really I dont think i have every combed my eyebrows.  Maybe if it was the 80's but they kind of stay tidy on their own. 
 A shirt, a headband, a red box and some blue fabric.  The box is a leftover from some gift or something and i dont need it.  the other stuff is just crap i wont use.
 
 THIS LIPSTICK IS DISGUSTING!  lipgloss, sorry.  It is supposed to taste like cake and it is nasty.

PVC and basement findings

This should catch me up to September 1 or so. I know a person with horses and she's going to build some obstacles for the horseys.  So she asked if anyone had some pvc.  YES!  Yes, I do.  Its cheap enough that if i ever need it i can go buy more and really its been sitting in the corner of the basement since the shit explosion of 2007 or somewhere around then.  See, one day the washing machine backed up into the sink.  so Brian Greyshurt and i decided to snake it.  Brian did plumbing once upon a time so it seemed reasonable.  we rented the big mega-snake at home depot.  Then we set to work.  Well, the snake worked.  But it also sent vibrations down the line that caused the old cast iron pipes to shatter.  We spent the day replumbing the outtake plumbing in the basement.  In the end it was only 150 bucks though!
 Ew, i found these on the work table back in the corner.  They are super rusty and i would never use these on anything.  I can just spend 6 bucks and buy a fresh can. I am a high roller like that.
