memorieeeees....all alone in the moonliiiiight

This weekend we cleaned out our storage room. 1st off, how we've accumulated SO much since living here is beyond me. We've bought next to nothing, but yet still have so much STUFF! Ed's car is packed full and ready for a trip to Goodwill today. One of the many things I had to go through was a large bag of stuffed animals. Some I kept, some I packed in the car, some I gave to Alina. The hardest thing to get rid of was this:


I won this stuffed six foot neon pink flamingo at Cedar Point back in high school during the yearly youth group trip. I carried it on my shoulders around the park until we left. I've not been able to part with it. But now with having to think about packing our entire house and moving 2000 miles, I knew it was time to let it go. If you by chance want a six foot neon pink stuffed flamingo, let me know. Ed won't be going to Goodwill until this afternoon. Sigh....



I did, though, keep the baby neon stuffed pink flamingo and gave it to Alina.

Oh my word! You really get a sense of how HUGE that is in the second shot with Alina in it! hehehe! That TOTALLY looks like something I'd keep! Too bad you're so far away, it looks like it would be a great mascott for a classroom! At least you've got photos of memories! :) (How much love was he really getting in the storage room anyway? :P ) Arg, I both love and hate getting rid of stuff!

That is just hysterical!!

Too bad I didn't know Ed was going to Sal Army today. We could have left the three bags that were in the back of our car that need to go!

Last Monday they had a neighborhood pick up and we totally forgot to leave it out for that. Nuts!
