Well it is almost 4PM on a Monday afternoon. I have actually had a very productive today, expect for a few bumps in the road. Let’s talk about a few of those.

We are weeding out our things. We have entirely too much weight to move anywhere. So I pack my trunk with stuff and head out to the Goodwill. Now I have 4 kids so the majority of the things are toys and clothes. I also have a large box of books and magazines.

I get to the Goodwill and pull out the first bag. The attendant tells me, “Ma’am we don’t take toys.”  Well ain’t that something, ok, take that bag back and open the trunk. He sees the books and says, “We don’t take magazines either ma’am.” So I sort through all those and he takes the rest.

So I kinda get the magazine thing. They probably would get so many editions of Good Housekeeping and such. These weren’t the magazines I had, I had some great stamping and scrapbooking magazines in there. But that’s ok. With a bit of help from my online friends I came up with some great ideas of where to take them.

Consignment shops

Boys and Girls clubs

Retirement communities

Library

Schools

So I guess lessons learned. There are other places to donate other than to the Goodwill
