August Blog Challenge – Day 4
August 4, 2011
If you would like to participate in the August Blog Challenge, go visit Belinda for the daily prompts.
Day 4: What is laying around your house that you could sell?
When I stop to think about it, A LOT of stuff is just sitting around my house; not being used. We have a Wii, with the Wii Fit and Wii Rock Band, all of which never get used.
We have hundreds of DVDs that have been watched and then stuck in a cabinet. We also have hundreds of VHS tapes that I have boxed up, but still keep- because you just never know when VCR’s are going to make a comeback, right?
Our basement is full of clothes, coats, shoes, and tons of miscellaneous that no longer fits, no longer is used, or we no longer have room for. Our garage contains tubs full of camping gear and two tents; yet we haven’t gone camping in three years.
Really, it’s pretty ridiculous the amount of crap we have sitting around.
