I hadn’t planned on spending a good portion of my Sunday afternoon organizing my closet, but that’s exactly what ended up happening. It started innocently enough with me performing my bi-monthly paperwork maintenance. Then I decided it was about time I went through all my old cassette tapes. They’ve been sitting in my closet collecting dust since we moved here a year and a half ago. Many of them were homemade tapes of singles or albums I didn’t own at the time I made them. So I weeded out the ones I currently own on cd, and listened to the unlabeled ones to determine if they should be saved. I came across some funny stuff – me quizzing my brother on his ABC’s and stuff when he was around 5 years old and another one of me trying to catch my brothers on tape misbehaving so I could show my mom how they act when she would leave me to babysit them. I saved those ones, obviously.
After all that I had room to put all my old shorts and tank tops (that are currently too small for me but WILL fit again eventually) into the boxes I had the cassette tapes in. I also have some empty cassette tape holders. God knows who’s going to want those now that everyone owns cds, but maybe I can sell the one that holds 72 cassettes for 75 cents or something. It felt good to ditch some junk. I can be a pack-rat sometimes.
Earlier in the day we took Joe’s mom to The Pit for lunch for her birthday. We stopped at Walmart first so she could get Joe’s kids some Christmas presents. We helped her pick out some really cute outfits for them as well as toys, which was fun.
It was certainly a busy day. I think I’d like Sundays a bit more if they weren’t followed by Mondays, though. :p
