We took on a fairly big project this morning – cleaning our master bedroom’s walk-in closet. I am happy to say it looks much better, and even has space for more stuff now.
I am exhausted and plan on doing nothing more the rest of the day except laundry. It snowed last night and was still snowing earlier, so it’s a stay in and hibernate kind of day. Maybe play video games too. I also have quite a few episodes (thank you, marathons) of What I Like About You (a recent discovery) and Forensic Files on the DVR. Party time at Nicole’s! ;)
One of the things I came across in the closet was my old Yamaha keyboard (anyone having thoughts of Ross from Friends here?).
It’s still in great condition and it’s a good 15+ years old. I took a photo to remember it by as I plan to give it to E and since he’s a boy, I’m not sure it will survive.
Here’s a photo of the box it came in. The price tag says $80. I’m pretty sure I got it at Service Merchandise. Wow. Memories.
Another thing I saved for some ungodly reason is every single pay stub I’ve gotten since I started working at the age of fifteen, including those from Burger King when I was making $4.25/hour. I’m going to keep a few for posterity and shred the rest.
I also have all my old cassette tapes (see photos @ Flickr – #1, #2, and Singles). I don’t think people collect those anymore, so other than my Cure ones that I can’t bear to part with, I’m either going to trash them or donate them to Goodwill.
We’re also going to donate our old Sony MiniDisc players. They are in perfect condition, just not in use now that everyone has an iPod. I have no illusions that anyone will want to buy them, seeing as how you can get a no-name MP3 player for next to nothing these days, but I just can’t throw out something that isn’t broken.
