Settling back in

I have had a great time these past few weeks, shopping and collecting necessary things, getting rid of extra items all along. But now it's time to settle back in and focus more on the pount ~ de-cluttering my house and my life. Plus, I am going to Ireland in 59 days, so I need to focus again on saving spending money.

This was a great weekend. Well, part of it; I did have to work through Saturday. It's March Madness, though, so basketball has taken over much of my life. More on that in a bit.

I have had time to select a few choice things to donate and give away.

For Thursday and Friday, I have the pillow shams that match the comforter I no longer have. and a hair color stained bathroom rug that I haven't used in a long time. I'm actually not sure ahy I have held on to them, but they are going now.


Saturday was a great day. Well, once work ended it was great. My Dan came in and he and I had a double date with my parents for Celtic Thunder. It was crazy and loud and funny and packed with teeny-bopper girls who screamed (remember the Beatles and Elvis? Like that), but it was a great show and it was wonderful to spend the time all together. So, for Saturday, I have a wonderful coat that I just don;t wear any more. I have been thinking about giving it away for a while now, and it's time.

It's washable suede and lined with some kind of fake fur. Very luxurious and soft and rich-looking, and I wore it a lot for several years. Now it's time to let someone else enjoy it.

I may regret this one (first time I've felt that way), but if someone enjoys it as much as I have, it will be worth it.

Today was a kind of lazy day. My Dan and I planned more of our Ireland trip. The tickets and vouchers came in and we selected our top 3 B&Bs for each stop. We watched SU win the second round game ~ WooHoo!!! And just bummed around for the day. So it seems apropos to give away a t-shirt for today.

I actually gave it to Mom last night. It's in perfect shape; it's just shorter than I like my t-shirts.

Okay, confession time. I have another t-shirt that I need to give away (also went to Mom last night).

Isn't it cute? It's also a bit too short for me. And I had an extra thing to give away because I did make one purchase this week. I bought the SU Marathon Men shirt. I just couldn't resist; it's a once in a lifetime thing. I can't take a pic as I am wearing it right now. :) So click here and you can see it.

Go SU!!!!!!!!!
