Choosing A Topic While Cleaning My Office And A Big Oops!

There are so many things I want to blog about, that sometimes I have a hard time choosing. Today's list included secrets of life, inexpensive meal ideas and shopping tips, travel destinations, and some miscellaneous summer items. I was thinking about all of these things while I was reorganizing my office.

My job is supposed to be selling clothing on ebay, so my office is full of inventory. I haven't had any listings posted in a long time. The business was in full swing up until the time my brother in law died in October. Everything seemed to come to a halt, then, and I never got back to listing my items. I also never stopped accumulating inventory. Today, I decided, is the day to get back to selling.

The shelves are pretty full and there are stacks of shirts and hoodies in another cabinet. On the floor is a stack of boxes of clothing that haven't yet been unloaded. We buy our items in lots, so I couldn't even recall what was in the boxes!

I started going through the boxes and sorting the items into piles when I came across an unexpected find. At the back of the stack of boxes was a box filled with clothes I had promised to send to a needy family in California. I was absolutely mortified that it was still here! I had heard about them through one of my online friends and offered to send them the clothes back in February. I called my husband right away to ask him if he knew why the box was still in the office because I thought he had mailed it for me. He thought I had mailed it. Talk about a big oops! Needless to say, it will be going out first thing tomorrow. I'm terribly embarrassed about the whole situation. I can't imagine what the family that was expecting the clothes must think!

For now, I'm headed back into the office to get the photos I need for my listings. I expect to put them on ebay some time tomorrow afternoon. There's a link on the right hand side of this page if you're curious and want to have a look once they're listed.

I'll be back tonight to open the bar!
