Returning to our STUFF

As I fend off the desire to scratch and Mary is searching the web for potential domiciles, we are reminded that there is still a room of stuff that we need to address.
Actually one full room, a closet and a storage shed out back that are all full of stuff. We did haul about 400 pounds to Michgan this summer for the girls. As we get closer to full timing, the stuff is now seen in terms of weight.
The back room has most of our Christmas decorations and left over books from our Amazon store. The Amazon store became too time consuming as we were selling 1 or 2 books a month and trying to upload new stock. Amazon charges like 10% when it sells and only allows $3.99 for shipping--which works out 75% of the time.
We will be donating the books this coming week to our local PTA Thrift Store. The remaing items will have to go in an end of summer yard sale or face being donated as well.
This year we will also have to unload some of our household stuff like dinnerware, silverware and furniture. If we don't do it soon, it will still be waiting in May 2013 for us to deal with.
Hopefully I will be over this poison ivy and able to get somethings started before I return to school on the 17 of this month..
