I am NOT a hoarder!!

I like to think of myself as a "collector" lol but in all seriousness our back room was bulging at the seems and the husband was getting a little upset a little out of control.

Exhibit A: (ok maybe a "bit" embarrassed?)


Exhibit B: (notice you can NO LONGER walk into the room?)


Exhibit C:


Now in my defense this is all stuff from couponing!! I am getting so good and I am LOVING giving most of it away. The hubby is too, he is bringing stuff in to the people he works with too. But I have actually been running into problems GIVING it away!!

See I had brought a huge box to a food cupboard that we had volunteered with? Well they REFUSED to give the stuff away.

THE WERE CHARGING PEOPLE FOR IT! So I asked for the reasoning behind it, I mean they give away food why not the toiletries and they said, and I quote " People take advantage of it so we have to charge for it."

And they were charging like $2 for shampoo and $1 for baby wipes!! I did not donate the stuff that I got for next to free for them to make a profit on it!

And then I called this womens shelter because I had TONNES of makeup and "lady stuff" that I had aquired and call to see if they would like it and was told "No we do not take donations like that because of an incident they had YEARS ago"

Want to know what it was? Some lady donated a BUNCH of Avon stuff and then tried to "enlist" the ladies at the shelter to do the business because it would help them get their lives on track?

Oh yeah.

Anyhoo.. Moving on I will find some other places that need it! I was thinking of the Ronald McDonald House and there are a few shelters around here that I have to call.

But in the mean time while I build up my stock again I am going to get a table at a flea market and DOWNSIZE everything I have then only get stuff that the places I contact will be needing...
Voila! There is a bed in there!

Home alone...

I dropped the hubby off at the airport this morning to send him on his way to Vegas... yeah not for fun (well I am sure there will be a little fun) he is there for work.

So its me and Miss Daisy for the week. We have a very fun week planned.

Do lots of shopping.. Did I tell you how much Daisy LOVES the car? Every chance we get we take her with us. Just the mention of the word car sends her into spastic barking and running in circles. Its so cute to see, I think I will get that on video.

Attempt to finish unpacking **gasp** I know its been 3 weeks it should be done by now. But we are leaving a few things packed up so that we will not have to repack them again. I really just want to get the spare room set up with the bed and stuff as opposed to it being against the wall right now.

Work.

Clean house and finish laundry. Not in that order because the house cleaning will have to be done the day the hubby comes home...lol Because if he knew I lived like this!!

Spend time with fabulous new friends!! I just got home from the hospital for one of the girls I work with IS HAVING A BABY!!! So in a few hours there will be a PICTURE post of new squishy baby pictures!!

Did I ever tell you something?

I NEVER clean.

Well its not that I NEVER clean, its just when choosing a husband I seemed to have scored the lottery in husband choosing and HE DOES ALL THE CLEANING!!

Serious.

Vacuums. Baseboards the whole 9 yards.

Oh and he is GOOD... VERY GOOD. He has however been banned from laundry and dishes. Well dishes he WILL NOT DO!! He would eat off of paper plates and forks if we had them in the house. He HATES dishes. And I volunteered to do laundry after a little incident with my bras (what with DD those bitches need to be cleaned properly as to avoid have to spend a million dollars to get new ones that fit again)

It is so seldom that I am even aloud to clean (I do not do it to his specifications) I fought for the right to clean the house today.

Yep and I won.

So what does the wife of the cleaner do on the day she agreed to clean the whole house while the hubby it out.

She sleeps till 7pm!! WTF people. Serious I can not go out and party like I used to...

Off to clean I go!! Oh and the other day the hubby was talking about how he would LOVE a Dyson and I agreed it would be nice and the conversation went like this

Hubby"Babe, we should get a Dyson"

Me "Oh thats a good idea, but $500 for a vacume cleaner? We should wait until we buy our house"

Hubby "It sure would be nice is all I am saying"

Me "Well we have out 5 year anniversary coming up, how about we buy it as a "couples" gift for ourselves!"

Hubby "Babe, serious when are YOU ever going to use it"
