so much work, my friends

[roxy]

BG is moving back home, much to Mr. R's joy. Hah! Not really! But he's dealing, poor man. Me, I'm happy about it. I expect there'll be a few rough spots here or there, but on the whole, I think I can still take her so...Hah! I kid. kinda.

This moving back home means I'm going through stuff, getting rid of oh my goodness, tons of things. Throwing it away willy-nilly. I tossed a buttload of old mags from when I first got into the fandom thing--or re-entered it, I should say. :) Also, I've got artwork, stuff I did, and I thought instead of tossing it, maybe someone would be interested in it? Truth to tell, I hate throwing it away, but I also don't want to keep it anymore. I can post scans if anyone thinks they might be interested? Mostly SV stuff, some stuff folks might remember, (some naughty things--you might not want to hang them in the rumpus room), all ink drawings.

I like this throwing things away, it makes me feel good. I feel like I'm just peeling off all this stuff that was clinging to me. It was hard to get rid of things my mom gave to me, but if the kids don't want it, why keep it? I feel like I'm taking advantage of the Goodwill near me, heh. BG took a buttload of stuff down there, left it on their stairs and ran like crazy! *G*

In other news, Dad is doing great, Mr. R fried a turkey, and I spent the afternoon tossing things and being entertained by my cousins. Pretty good day all around.

I'd like to see the artwork. :D

I'm glad that your Dad's doing good.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

I think I'll post the scans. It'll be fun! And not at all like that year I lost my mind and deleted all my artowrk and almost all the stories and...yeah. *koff*

[rednihilist.livejournal.com]

Well, good for you! I'd hate to see my roxy turn into one of those hoarders you see on the tv.

And, hey, if you're looking to get rid of stuff, I'm certainly game! Send it this way, hon. I'll look after it for you, especially the naughty stuff. (*dirty chuckle*)

Lemme know, and I'll send you my new address. :) *BIG HUGS* I am so proud of you, sweetie!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Oooooo, send me your new address, yes please!

[silverscreengal.livejournal.com]

I'm assuming that BG is a grown child moving back home?? My mom used to say we just won't stay away. We kept coming back over AND over AND over. :D

I just lost my external hard drive and 7 years worth of SV/Tommy stuff. Anything you'd like to send a stranger like me, I'd be over the moon!!! I'd be happy to pay postage. If you would, PM me and tell me what you have. I'd be most grateful!!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Oh my goodness, that's right! If you don't mind magazines and the like, I think I might have some things you'd be interested in! Let me get a list together and in the next few days I'll let you know what I have! :)

And yeah, BG is my way grown child, lol! It's sort of like that song about the cat. ;)

[clarkscherry.livejournal.com]

OMG! I'm going thru the same thing right now. My baby moved back a little over a week ago, and 10 bags(big-ass black stretchy garbage bags) full of cloths, three monitors, two printers, to Goodwill and 10 days later we are still organizing and tossing! We have a nice pile of old furniture that I'd be ashamed to take to Goodwill stacked up for a future bon-fire. I better stock up on hotdogs and marshmallows.

I know that its not a perfect setup but I am enjoying more time with Ericka. Her dad is okay with the move, but her poor cat is really spazzing out. Poor thing is going schizo! She'll rub up against me and nuzzle and then hiss not more than a few seconds later. I thinks she's thinking, "I like you Grandma, but this place sucks, when can I go HOME?!"

Hope all will work out for all of us. Enjoy your BG homecoming!

BTW, anything Clexy you want to rid yourself of I may be interested. After all I've just dumped a shit-ton of stuff so I need to start hoarding again til the next purge!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Omg, it's like a homing signal went off!

My poor kid is trying to stuff an apartment in one room! She's got a storage rental for the big stuff, but clooooooothes! So much!!! And shoes--it's like Imelda Marcos is moving in--but shhhhhhhhh--you didn't hear that from me!

[clarkscherry.livejournal.com]

Hee! Actually, my Imelda is My hubby, He gets workboots by bulk! We have 9 dressers in the house for 3 people and I'm still stuffing things in plastic bins. Its not like were fashionistas either. I bet half my stuff is from Goodwill to begin with, or of course our upper-crust stuff comes from Chic Targey or Chateau Walmar! Luckily we already have a storage unit, and my mother lives right across the road with a nice big basement we have been filling to the brim.

I watch those hoarding shows on TV and I think...well I'm not THAT bad! But my eye starts twitching all the same!

*FALLS DOWN LAUGHING*

I KNOW, RIGHT????

[supesfan88.livejournal.com]

...fried...turkey?

[clarkscherry.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah! Its great! It takes a lot less time than baking, and the deep frying quickly sears the skin so that I really don't think they are much higher fat than baked ones. Crisp on the outside and nice and moist on the inside. Nom!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

OMG, girl--best. thing. ever. Amd Mr. R fried the hell out of this bird--moist and yummmmmm! And like clarkscherry said, not greasy and less fat because it gets cooked so quickly.

[rosy5000.livejournal.com]

OOooo!! I'd love to see some of your etchings. *snickers*

I'm thinking of all the ways I could torment my nephew with original Roxy naughty pics too. hehe *is evol*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

yes, my word you are an evol child--I claim you!!! :)

[fleegull.livejournal.com]

It's great to hear that your Dad is doing well.

Cleaning out old stuff is its' own reward!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Thank you--he's out of the hospital as of Monday!

As for that reward thing--I keep telling myself that. ;)

[toldthestars.livejournal.com]

I missed turkey. :(

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

See what happens when you run away from home?

[tabaqui]

Oh, awesome all the way 'round! :)

Tossing things is good. It *does* make you feel better! My mom has been doing that, too. She says she just has no emotional attachment to all this *stuff*, and she's tired of it. She has her good memories, and that's enough.

*twirls you*

Glad your Dad is doing good! Great to hear.
Stay cool!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Tossing stuff makes me feel better but I may have overdone it just a bit...*G* oy, with the aches! Your mom has it right on the nose!

*HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUG*

Have I told you lately that you are the bee's knees? I think I've been falling down on the job. ;)

[tabaqui]

Awww!
*smooch*
*luffs*

Awww, BG!

I understand about throwing things out. I have this insanely heavy trunk that belonged to my grandparents, but I have no memories of it. It's just a pain in my ass, but whenever I try to give it to someone who likes that shit, they're like "No, no, that's from your grandparents!" I'm like, "I have their photos and journals, what do I care for this fucking trunk?" I'm going to sell it. Honestly. People who are sentimental about that shit haven't gotten craploads of stuff from their grandparents yet.

LOL!!! You have hit the nail on the head, my friend!

Pictue me today standing knee deep in black and white photos of people I've never met, from a time I wasn't even a glimmer in the old folks' eye. I'll have to let some other soul cronicle daily life in by-gone eras--I dumped all those things in the trash.
