Spring Cleaning Giveaway - Part 1

Ok, I know it is almost summer and that in a large portion of the country it already feels like summer... but I am just now getting to my "spring" cleaning. I'm a graduate student, don't judge. And so, in the thorough cleaning of each room in the house that has now commenced, I will periodically post lists and photos of items that I wish to part with. (note that I said that "I" want to part with... sorry, Noah.) In other words, ya'll can have any of this stuff you want!

In this photo, starting in the back from left to right, we have:
- a wooden bathroom wall shelf/towel rod (used, but in great condition)
- two portable CD/DVD cases (used, in excellent condition)
- complete set of the Twilight books (again, please don't judge!)
front row:
- pink, 15" incase brand laptop sleeve (used for only a few months before getting a new, smaller computer - this is worth much more than the price of $0.00 that it is offered at!) *wink*
- glow in the dark marker board (this thing is cool! you write on it in highlighter, turn on the build in black light, and everything glows. I really like this thing, but it no longer has a place in my house).
- 4 piece set of ivory suede place mats, gray-ish brown cloth napkins, and wood napkin rings (also slightly used, but mostly just for decoration - in very good shape)
- set of four metallic gray/brown striped decorative accents

If you're interested in claiming any of these objects as yours - sent me an email/facebook message and it's yours! :-)

Next cleaning adventure: our closets. Stay tuned - who knows what is going to come out of those hiding places!

they say, "time flies when you're having fun"...


...and apparently they are right! How has it possibly been almost two years since we posted anything?! You must all think we've fallen off the face of the Earth (not yet... they say the rapture isn't until 6pm today. HA!), but trust us - we're still here! Same house, same cars, same kitty cat... different us. :-)



Noah's still working full time at UNCG in addition to playing in the local symphonies and everywhere else, it seems. I'm a graduate student again - and by this time next year (keep your fingers crossed!) you'll all have to call me "Doctor Cat." That's right. :-)





It would take me all morning to recount all the things we've been up to since we left you all in the dark... so I'll just post some pictures, and you'll get the idea. We love you! I promise there will be more exciting things to write about - and I'll try to spare you from constantly hearing about my dissertation. Note that I said "try." ;-)
