April 6-7- tennis rackets and a funky clock

 I usually try to pair the items better.  Anyway, I got this clock on fab.com a while back.  I thought it would be rad but it was actually small and kind of crappy.  I think it's okay, but not for me. 
The tennis rackets were in the basement.  I dont play tennis and probably wont any time soon.  So, i asked my old roommate Kevin if he wanted them (because they were probably his in the first place) and they will go live with him.

April 3-5 Living room cabinet junk

 I think this is the bag part t a hamper.  I think it moved in with Scott.  I filled it with the goodwill clothes and took it away with the weird quilted satin table cloth and the ugly curtain shears.  These were definitely from Scott's old house on Boulevard and they were just taking up space.  Plus they were ugly.

March 31-April 2

 I wish I had some awesome April Fools Day story about giving all of my items to someone's front porch but that would be mean.  Instead, here's some more crap from the house.  The top is actually a kind of cool light cover with a vintage flower screw thing.  How the screw has stayed with it is beyond me!  I gave it to the restore.

These 2 things were hanging on the back porch looking dusty and busted.  One is a coconut candle and the other is one of those tea light lanterns.  both are trash.

I don't have a picture but the new guy renting the apartment next door is a super nice guy with very little.  i gave him a recliner from the basement.  As they were carrying it out I asked them to set it down and they started to tilt it to put it on it's feet.  no, no, straight down.  Then I took my shoe off and calmly killed the 2 black widows on it!  Now you can go.  They were a little freaked out but I assured them i was watching the spiders and they were safe.

March 29-30 gifting the neighbors

 This is more stuff from the basement.  I've had these wooden sawhorses for-EVER.  Just taking up space in the basement, collecting spiders and spider webs.  So in my half assed frenzy of purging I threw them out back to collect different spiders.  Finally I asked the next door neighbors if they wanted them.  I was like "you can cut wood on them or cut them up and burn them for all i care" and yep, they took them!  I passed them over the fence and they were gone. 

This fan had the cord chewed years ago.  But it was a cool old vintage fan that worked before it was chewed.  What to do?  I gave it to the neighbors on the other side.  He's mechanically inclided and would probably do something with it and fix it.  Maybe.

March 27-28

 Every single pair of Scott's shoes look like this.  I got him 2 new pairs that he cant have until wedding week but in the meantime I will trash 2 pairs to make room for incoming newbies! Miyagi is a jerk by the way.

 And this sweater was great.  perfect condition, fit well, but then it got rats on it and i washed it.  Now it will fit a 5 year old.  I almost kept it to make a felted something but I couldnt bear to have one more project waiting for me and i threw it in with the goodwill stuff.

March 24-26 MORE basement stuff

 So I was going to go hogwild on the basement this weekend but it rained.  So i was lazy.  I am very weather oriented so rain generally means napping.  Cold also means napping.  Winter is one big fat napfest.  But also, my basement leaks.  a lot.  Which is why the next few batches will show signs of water damage.  But for now i have some gems to let go of:

  A knob set from when I worked at the architecture firm.  It requires more effort that I care to exert in order to install it.  It's a shame because the knows are super solid and pretty.

Raffle tickets anyone?  This is from when Jessica broke her face a long time ago.  We dont talk about that anymore because I will get mad about raiding 10,000+ for a fallen friend only to later realize it was probably her own fault and then she used to money to go on vacation instead of fixing her fucked up life.  Sorry, I digress...

 Whoa!  Those are the annoying messenger pager things that chirp everytime someone wants to talk to you.  When Scott used these i wanted him dead a lot of the time.  Or his friends.  They had crazy hours and would chat on these things at all moments of the day like a pack of teenage girls on the phone. I threw so solder in there too.  Its going to the restore with my other hardware type items.

March 23- window

Why do I have this?  It has seriously been in the basement since the dawn of time.  Maybe I wanted to do some art?  Thats the only thing i can think of.  I am not enough of a go getter to build a garden greenhouse box.  So, I have no idea.  It is by the curb now.  I'll get another one if i really feel the need to have an old window sash.  Or i can just get a couple of new windows in the house.
