giving up my cd wall dream
So I always dreamed of having a huge cd wall in my apartment one day. I decided to join 2011 and am going to burn most of my cds onto the computer and then get rid of them. These 82 though I decided I can't part with. They are ones I like to pull out and listen straight through or have some special meaning and just can't part with at this time. You are probably thinking 82! that is not really getting rid of many cds then but I am probably getting rid of at least 82 other ones if not more

! wow, that's a ton. I wonder how many GBs of music that is. Do you like all of it?
mike - 08/10/11 18:52
I actually just counted and am getting rid of 145 and keeping 82. That seems pretty good for a hoarder if you ask me.

The Garage Sale is Coming
So my garage sale is this Saturday and Sunday (August 13 and 14) from 9-3 at 309 Tremont Ave in Kenmore. I have spent so long going through all my years of collecting and so has my mom. I feel like we have so many little things and bigger things. It really has been so many hours. I am getting nervous now that noone will show up. That would be devastating. I hope shoppers come in hordes. It is a lot of work and it would stink if noone came. I feel like there is definitely stuff people could want. I advertised in the Buffalo news, craigslist, my work craigslist, here , facebook and will hang some signs around Kenmore the day before. I really really hope people show up. Need housewares, chotchkeys, stuffed animals, books, games, toys, dishes , a printer or more? Well then 309 Tremont is where you better be this weekend!

heidi - 08/09/11 22:16
I'm so sorry I'll be out of town! Yes, we want pictures!!

Do you have any filing cabinets?
tinypliny - 08/09/11 09:41
Well... where are the pictures? You should post a preview of everything here and link everywhere else you posted to those pictures. People are more likely to come if they see something interesting that they might want to check out.

Letters and Cards From College
So as I'm cleaning out my room , tonight was go thru the drawers of cards, letters, etc. Of course I am not getting rid of really any of them but separating between leaving at my parents and taking with me.

It is really great to read back through cards and letters from my friends especially from when we were in college or when teres and jill moved away. It really takes you back and something about reading it in a letter instead of an e-mail is great. Like I feel like since you had to write it out by hand you made it better and only more important stuff or something where emails are more every detail of stuff that is going on . Well I loved it and it brought back some memories

BUT...I wish everyone dated things. I realize I never do but I am going to start. I never date cards or letters or notes but I am so grateful for the people who did because some I relaly can't place when they are from. So I have learned my lesson and will date everything I send in the future.

When a man loves a woman
SO me and (e:libertad) did our first ever slow dance tonight at Mk's wedding. It was to When A Man Loves A Woman which is kinda weird. So is that our song now ? That's weird
tinypliny - 07/17/11 19:10
Well... I just heard the song that (e:heidi) linked and I have to say, its the totally maudlin spirit that matters. The really interesting question is, however, what do YOU think is your's and (e:libertad)'s song?
mike - 07/17/11 18:58
its a little weird that us 2 men's song may be When A Man Loves a Woman
tinypliny - 07/17/11 14:36
Oh, that song. Nevermind. Yeah, that is slow... but not weird at all. Very cute. :-)
heidi - 07/17/11 14:02
:::link::: The original Percy Sledge version, but the Michael Bolton version is more likely the one they were dancing to. :::link::: (e:Mike) & (e:Libertad) - you are so cute :-)
metalpeter - 07/17/11 10:36
Old Song.... Was it in one of those dance movies from some time back?
tinypliny - 07/17/11 01:46
What song is this? Link please. I thought that was a fast punk-rocky hip hop song.

packing
moving isn't easy when your a hoarder

paul - 07/14/11 10:22
Dad must be freaking out.
heidi - 07/14/11 00:42
It sucks no matter what. You can do it! It just takes perseverance.

tinypliny - 07/14/11 00:29
Just so you know, it isn't easy when you are not a hoarder either. At one point they even considered making it grammatically wrong to use "moving" and "easy" in a sentence together.
