Day 270 - CD - Steel Drum CD

Today I am giving away a steel drum CD. I bought this in Florida and thought it would be great. The problem is that it is exclusively instrumental and I wanted some vocals. The instruments just don't do it for me. And, my kids far prefer music with words. So goes life.........

Day 269 - Gejas Gift Certificates

Today I am offering another $20 gift certificate to Geja's fondue restaurant. I'd have liked to use them myself, but figured it would be too pricey a dinner to really make sense right now. I am sure whoever gets this one - and yesterdays - will have a great time!

Day 268 - Gejas Gift Certificates

Today I am giving away a $20 gift certificates to Gejas Cafe - a romantic fondue restaurant. I am sure they will go fast, so I asked for a reason why people need this certificate. We'll see!!!

Day 267 - Book - Lipstick Jungle by Candace Bushnell

Today I am offering the book Lipstick Jungle. It is hardcover – without the cover. But, very good condition. I read it while pregnant a few years ago and enjoyed it! I even liked the TV series, but must have been the only person to watch it because it was canceled - Boo hoo!

Let me know when you’ll pick-up – in Nortfield near Wagner/Willow.

Day 266 - Book - Women Who Made a Difference by Malcolm Forbes

Today I am offering a book - Women Who Made a Difference by Malcolm Forbes. This boo tells 100 tales of unsung heroines and little known stories of famous women who changed their world and ours.

Day 265 - Book - Talent solution by Edward Gubman

Today I am offering a book - Talent solution by Edward Gubman. Hard cover in great condition! I think I read it a while ago - but has a lot of life in it!

Today's workplace is facing a talent crisis. The economy is booming but companies are finding it harder to fill positions and keep good people. The Talent Solution holds the key to leveraging a company's most vital competitive advantage--its people. In this research-driven, ground-breaking book, Gubman shows top managers exactly how to boost performance by aligning strategy and employees. More than a quick fix, The Talent Solution will enable managers to transform their organization into a world-class competitor.

Day 264 - Towel Bar

Today I am offering a new towel bar. Brand new in packaging. Another item from Hazel - and it is nice!! IKEA Grundtal 4 Bar Towel Rack.

Day 263 - Book - Webster's II New College Dictionary - GONE!

The dictionary is gone!!

Day 260 - Girls Shoes - GONE!

The girls shoes are gone!

Day 263 - Book - Webster's II New College Dictionary

Who can't use a perfectly good dictionary? Well... me! I've got spell check and the internet - I don't need a dictionary!

Day 262 - Book - Principles of Internet Marketing by Ward Hanson

Today's book is Principles of Internet Marketing by Ward Hanson. Dave read this in college. He must not have loved it because getting him to get rid of a book is very tricky!!!

Day 261 - Book - The Handbook of Strategic Public Relations & Integrated Communications

Today I am offering a textbook from college - The Handbook of Strategic Public Relations & Integrated Communications by Clarke Caywood. I don't recall much from it - but I pretty much loved most of my college classes. So, I am sure there are many pearls of wisdon within!!

Day 260 - Girls Shoes

Today I am offering a nice pair of girls Stride Rite shoes. They are navy and would be great for school. I'd keep them, but my girls probably won't wear them at least a year and I just can't bear storing them that long. Hopefully they go!!

Day 259 - Snap & Go Stroller - GONE!

That was super fast too! Gone Gone GONE!!!!!!!!!!!

Day 259 - Snap & Go Stroller

Today I am offering a snap & go stroller. I HIGHLY recommend this type of stroller for any new parent. Super light and easy and the best possible way to lug around a newborn. We used our double snap & go stroller for nearly a year and then got a big huge one that worked for toddlers. But, with a little baby, this is the way to go!

Day 258 - Pack & Play - GONE!

Well, that did not last long at all! Hopefully it will be picked up quickly and out of my hair.

Day 258 - Pack & Play

Today I am offering a nice pack & play bassinet. My brother got it from the curb on his street and I've used it for a long time. But, my girls are way too big for it and I've got another for when the baby comes. So, hopefully I'll find a taker - I think I will!!

Day 257 - Snow blower - GONE!

Of course it is gone! They even picked up last night which was great!! Hopefully they can tune it up and it will work great!!!

I had SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo many responses - probably close to 40! Yikes!!

Day 257 - Snow blower

I think this will be a big one - a snow blower. Imagine the snow blower that someone would freecycle. Yes, it needs help. Yes, we are getting a new one. I told Dave it was his call. He'll be responsible for snow removal (primarily because of the baby). And, if he thinks we need a new one we need to make that work. He jumped on it! And, it is out there. I think I'll get a lot of responses for this one...

Day 256 - Diaper Champ - GONE!

Not surprised, but the diaper champ is gone!!! Off to another home to collect yucky, stinky diapers!

Day 250 - White Bath Robe - GONE!

The taker of this robe actually helped themself to another kiddie robe I had out! Oh well, I guess they needed 2 bath robes. That's 2 more than me!

Day 245 - Book - Work in Progress by Michael Eisner - GONE!

Who wouldn't want to read a Michael Eisner book! Of course it is gone - and super quick!!

Day 256 - Diaper Champ

Only 100 days to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today I am offering a diaper champ! It is great for collecting stinky dipes and uses regular garbage bags which is nice. I bet this will go pretty fast.

Day 253 - Book - Book - All Too Human by George Stephanopoulos - GONE!

This book went super fast! I hope he enjoys it!!

Day 255 - The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom - GONE!

Not surpised, but this book has been taken!! Yippie.

Day 255 - The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom

Today I am offering a book - The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom. I prefed Tuesdays with Morrie, but this book was not bad. But, I'd never need to read it again.

Day 254 - Book - Roget A-Z Thesaurus

Today I am offering a Today Roget A-Z Thesaurus in perfect condition. Actually, I found 3 perfect thesaurus's when going through the cookshelf. I gave one to my dad - his thesaurus was from 1950something. And, with the multitude of new words, I figured he'd need a new one. Here is the 2nd and the 3rd will be freecycled soon!

Day 253 - Book - Book - All Too Human by George Stephanopoulos

Today I offered a Book - All Too Human by George Stephanopoulos. I got this for Dave years ago and he enjoyed the stories. But, it is not the kind of book you'll read over and over. Hence - it needs to get out!!

Day 252 - Book - customers.com - GONE!

That didn't take long!

Day 252 - Book - customers.com

Today I am offering another book - customers.com. I think Dave read it a while ago, but it is not one we want to keep any longer. He thinks any advice it has will be outdated - I choose to let the reader decide!

Day 251 - Book - Brain Sex

Today I am offering the book - Brain Sex. I have not read it - it has been on a shelf forever. I've heard it is good - just no time..............

Day 250 - White Bath Robe

Another infant bath robe! Seriously... I am getting worked up! Let's hope it goes quickly!!!

Day 249 - American Girl Book - GONE!

Yep - it is gone... Had about 6 people want the teeny tiny book! Some little girl will be thrilled!!

Day 249 - American Girl Book

American Girls came way after me - and my girls are way too young to appreciate. But, we got a tiny American Girl book in a happy meal and I am trying to get rid of it! These are pretty hot, so I think it will go quickly - we'll see!

Day 248 - Scale - GONE!

I had many people want the scale - hopefully I got someone that will use it!!

PS - I love my new scale!

Day 248 - Scale

Who couldn't use a scale? Well, today we're testing that theory and I am thinking it will go quickly! It was a little unbalanced so I got a new one - only to discover you can take off the pegs and the "old" one would have been peachy. Whatever - it is just $$$.

Day 247 - Pink Infant Bath Robe - GONE!

Of course I had a taker... and she flaked out! But, I had a back up - thank goodness!!!

Day 247 - Pink Infant Bath Robe

There are many things for kids I think are nuts - today I am offering one of them - a pink bath robe for an infant. It is cute, but seriously, a bath robe for an infant!?! I don't get it. What ever happened to the good old hoodie towel? Yes, it was a gift - not new, but of old clothes from a loved one. Oh well.......

Day 246 - Book - Creating from the Spirit - Living Each Day as a Creative Act - GONE!

Hopefully this person actually reads the book - unlike me!!

Day 246 - Book - Creating from the Spirit - Living Each Day as a Creative Act

Today I am offering a nice hardcover book - Creating from the Spirit - Living Each Day as a Creative Act by Dan Wakefield. I don't recall where it came from or if I ever read it - but it does look interesting. However, there is zero chance I'll get to it anytime soon! So, it needs a new home - how about yours?

Day 245 - Book - Work in Progress by Michael Eisner

Today I am offering (yet) another book - Work in Progress by Michael Eisner. Dave is a big fan of Eisner - lots of interesting stories about Disney and ABC. Great condition - hardcover. I am sure I'd enjoy it - but I barely have time to blog or do this darn freecycle thing!

Day 244 - Book - The Elements of Style - Strunk & White

Today I am offering another terrific writing reference book - Book - The Elements of Style - Strunk & White. This is a must-have for anyone who wants to really learn the elements of writing. Somewhat of a writers bible. Used this in college - big time!

Day 243 - Book - A Writer's Reference by Diana Hacker

Today I am offering a great reference book - A Writer's Reference by Diana Hacker. I can't recall if I used this in highschool or college, but it was one of the books that helped me with my writing skills. Given that my keyboard is currently acting up, you might not be able to tell that I have any writing skills!

Day 243 - Book - A Writer's Reference by Diana Hacker - GONE!

Some poor kid was given this by their mom. I am sure s/he is thrilled. ha!

Day 242 - Book - i, Robot by Isaac Asimov

Today I am offering another paperback - i, Robot by Isaac Asimov. Dave read this book and liked it - not my kind of book at all!! So goes life. But, I am sure it could get a little more mileage with another reader.

Day 242 - Book - i, Robot by Isaac Asimov - GONE!

This does surprise me a bit, but the book is gone!!

Day 241 - Book - And Then Came You by Maureen Child - GONE!

Surprised, but gone!

Day 241 - Book - And Then Came You by Maureen Child

Today I am offering a paperback fiction book - And Then Came You by Maureen Child. I read this a long time ago - probably on an airplane business trip. I can't really recall if I ebjoyed it. Hopefully someone else will!

Day 240 - Baby Dishwasher Basket

Today I am offering a baby dishwasher basket. You can put bottle tops or whatever in it to sanitize. Again, a gift from Hazel to freecycle! Tomorrow it'll be something of mine - I promise.

Day 240 - Baby Dishwasher Basket - FLOP!

I am a little surprised at this. But, I think many of the users have older kids and don't need this kind of stuff. Bummer. I'll keep it for me baby arriving in 10ish weeks............

Day 239 - Gerber Breast Milk Storage Bags - GONE!

Didn't take long - one woman is taking all this stuff!!

Day 238 - Micro-steam bag - GONE!

Didn't take long - one woman is taking all this stuff!!

Day 236 - Lansinoh Breast Milk Storage Bags - GONE!

Didn't take long - one woman is taking all this stuff!!

Day 239 - Gerber Breast Milk Storage Bags

More breast milk storage bags today! Thanks to Hazel - once again!

Day 238 - Micro-steam bag

Today I am offering a microsteam bag. I guess you use it to sanitize your breast pump and feeding accessories??? Hopefully it will go!

Day 237 - Enfamil Lipil Formula Sticks

Today I am offering a small package of Enfamil Lipil formula sticks. They make bottles super quick and easy - especially if you are on-the-go!! Again, these will be snapped up. Or, they'll go to my church food pantry.

Day 236 - Lansinoh Breast Milk Storage Bags

Today I am offering a nearly full package of Lansinoh Breast Milk Storage Bags. These were given to me by a friend - who knows I am having troubles getting my act in order lately. Hence - publishing 4 offerings today! All of which are courtesy of Hazel! Anyhoo - they are exactly what they sound like. I am sure someone will put them to use.

Day 235 - 5 Switchplates

Today I am offering 5 switchplates. All are gold. 3 are for a single light switch and 2 are for double switches. I think these were from the house my parents bought and they put new ones in. Somehow they ended up here. But, they are not our style - though they are in good condition.

Day 234 - 3 Handrail Brackets

Today I am offering 3 handrail brackets. These are the things that hold the handrail to the wall in your stairwell. They are all new and in their packaging. I think we got these when we had to fix the handrail at our old place before we moved. Perhaps the fix never happened - I have no idea! But, we're never going to use them - unless we build a stairwell to nowhere...

Day 233 - 3 Ceiling Hooks

Today I am offering 3 ceiling hooks - to hang plants or whatever else (hold up to 50 lbs). They are all new in packaging and I am hoping to get rid of all of them with one taker. I can't recall why these were purchased, but I know we don't have any ieas floating in our minds about what to do with them. So, hopefully someone dying for new ceiling hooks will get my e-mail!

Day 231 - Alphabet Magnets - GONE!

Some local kindergartners will be enjoying new letters! So glad they will go to use!

Day 232 - Crockpot sans lid... - GONE

I am amazed how many people want a crockpot without a lid!! WOW!

Day 229 - Girls Tights - FLOP!

Perhaps it is still to warm, but I am very surprised these did not go. Looks like I'll be selling them at my twins club kid resale in a few weeks. But, I am surprised!

Day 230 - 3 Iron Hooks - GONE!

These went fast and had many that wanted them! So glad they will go to use - probably holding a birdfeeder!!

Day 232 - Crockpot sans lid...

Today I am offering a Rival crockpot that is probably 4.5 quarts. It is missing a lid - so either you need to buy one or you can use it for another purpose. The lid broke in our garage and I was not able to figure out what new lid I needed. So, I bit the bullet and bought a new one - what a bummer.

Day 231 - Alphabet Magnets

Today I am offering a bag of magnetic alphabets. They are perfectly fine, but I just don't care of them. The magnets can come off the back and if a little guys ate them it could be trouble. I told the freecyclers that they should only go to a home with kids over 3...

Day 230 - 3 Iron Hooks

Did you ever have a vision that just didn't work? Well, today I am freecycling 3 black iron hooks. We bought them to hang candle boxes in our screened porch. But, it didn't look right. We did find a solution we love - more candleboxes, but a little more tailored. So, these hooks are yours for the taking!

Day 229 - Girls Tights

Today I am offering 2 pairs of Old Navy tights. They were in a lot of clothes given to my girls a few months ago. They are in great shape - just not my style. But, I am sure someone will be more than happy to have them for their kid. We'll see!

Day 221 - Beaded Mens Necklace - FLOP!

Again, I am not too surprised this was a flop! But, I did get one super funny response from a guy who thought it might improve his image, but he said he was too old. It made me laugh...

Day 222 - Pill Box - FLOP!

Not surprised, the pill box is still taking up space in my house. I'll just add it to my Good Will box.

Day 223 - Gourmet Food - FLOP!

Off to the food pantry they go. I am a little surprised they did not go - who turns down free food?? I even had people send me recipes to use them in. But, they did not want them - strange............

Day 225 - Frog Food - FLOP!

Apparently nobody in my neighborhood has any frogs they want to feed. That stinks.

Day 224 - Kid Toy Bin - GONE!

This item was actually given as a "free for all" at my recent twins club meeting. My neighbor gave it to me right before the meeting and although I did not want it, I knew someone would! Sure enough when I put the offer out there the girls were fighting for it.

Day 227 - Electronic Sudoko Game - GONE!

This game was also snapped up super quick!! Yippie - I am sure she'll have a lot of fun with it!

Day 228 - Disney Photo Album - GONE!

Not a surprise, but the disney album has been promised and should be gone today. It took all of like 2 seconds to find a taker - again, not a surprise. But, I am happy to have it on its way out of the house!!

Day 228 - Disney Photo Album

Today I am offering a Disney Princess Photo Album. This is brand new in packaging. My girls are just not that into Disney and (once again) we just don't need it! I am not sure when we got it - maybe a birthday gift or something. Regardless, it needs a new home - how about yours????

Day 227 - Electronic Sudoko Game

Today I am offering an Electronic Sudoko Game. My brother-in-law gave it to us several years ago and we had a lot of fun with it! But, we just don't ever use it anymore. I think it would be perfect if you had a train ride to work or something. But, we're drivers - unfortunately!

Day 226 - Motorcycle Gloves

These are gloves from back in the day Dave drove around on his motorcycle. Glory Days!!

Day 225 - Frog Food

Today I am offering a bottle of frog food - nearly full. Our frogs died - need I say more?

Day 224 - Kid Toy Bin

Today I am offering a kids toy bin. A big huge plastic monstrosity to store toys in. A neighbor gave it to me and I am passing it along. I am sure it will go super quick!!

Day 223 - Gourmet Food

Today I am freecycling a bottle of Pesto alla Genovese and a bottle of Roasted Eggplant Pesto. They are a donation to my cause from a good friend. They both look real nice and are obviously never opened or anything. Just not somethign you use on a normal days menu. I think they'll go!

Day 222 - Pill Box

Today I am getting rid of a weekday pill box. It has openings for every day of the week. It is fully functional - just a little small for my huge prenatal horsepills. I doubt it will go........

Day 219 - 2 Quilted Shams - GONE!

Another one that took a while, but is thankfully gone!!

Day 220 - Beaded Purse - GONE!

I am not surprised, but I have many responses for this purse - thankfully it is gone!

day 221 - Beaded Mens Necklace

Today I am offering a beaded guys necklace. Think teens or twenties. Black beads - not shiny or anything like that. Super masculine. Not sure when Dave got this. He does like to wear a necklace if we are on vacation or something like that. But that really just never happens! So, it is off to someone else's neck. Not sure if this will go!!

Day 220 - Beaded Purse

Today I am freecycling a super cute silver beaded purse. It is completely not practical - super tiny, but just beautiful - with all kinds of beading and sparkles.

It is a tough one for me to get rid of - holds some sentimental value. But, now that I have 2 kids and another on the way there is just no chance I'll ever use it again! And, it is way to nice to give to my little girls to play with.

I'm sad...

Day 218 - LP Zoo Reusable Bag - GONE!

It took a while, but the bag has been taken. Just proves, don't give up too quickly.

Day 219 - 2 Quilted Shams

Today I am offering 2 quilted pillow shams. They are white with some flowery patterns quilted in. Of course I got them from my Mother-In-Law. No matching quilt - just the shams - which seems a little odd. But, maybe someone would enjoy them.

Day 218 - LP Zoo Reusable Bag

Today I am offering a nice compact reusable bag. It is one of those grocer bags that folds into itself - nice to carry in your purse or bag. We got it with our zoo membership and already have so many reusable bags I just don't think we NEED it. Hoepfully someone will be excited to see the posting.

Day 217 - Bottle Drop Ins - GONE!

I am a little surprised - in a good way! They drop-ins have been taken!!!!!!!!!!!

Day 216 - Oscar the Grouch Purse - FLOP!

I am surprised, but the purse did not go. Boo hoo...........

Day 215 - "3" Birthday Candle - GONE!

Well, they did not go via Freecycle, but I gave them to a friend who has twins turning 3 in a few months. So, they are out of my house - and that's good news!

Day 217 - Bottle Drop Ins

Today I am offering a full package and about 10 extra 4 ounce Playtex Drop Ins for Bottles. My friend Hazel gave me these to freecycle. I hope they go. It seems our group is not too interested in pregnancy and infant items - maybe the audience is a bit older. But, I hope they go!!

Day 216 - Oscar the Grouch Purse

Today I am offering a super cute Oscar the Grouch Purse. I am sure a little girl would love it! I can't remember when our girls got it - or where it was from. But, they don't really carry it around much anymore - and it is what Dave found to freecycle tonight!! We'll see! I think it will go...

Day 215 - Two "3" Candles

Today I am offering two "3" birthday candles. Yep - from my girls 3rd birthday party. Can't imagine why we'd need to keep them. Hopefully someone else is planning a party for a 3 year old and can use them.

Day 214 - Fake Flowers

Today I am offering a bag of fake flowers. They were from my daughters 3rd birthday party. They planted gardens in the sand boxes at the party. We just no longer need a ton of plastic flowers - do you???

Day 213 - Pant/Skirt Hangers - GONE!

Dave will be so happy to hear the hangers have been taken!! If only I would get rid of the other zillion hangers in the house - then he'd dance for joy!!

Day 211 - Crazy Straws

I had almost given up hope. Then, I got a reply and the straws are gone!

Day 213 - Pant/Skirt Hangers

Today I am offering about 40 or so pant/skirt hangers from Old Navy. I sell a lot of stuff through my twins club and have gotten many hangers to help me get my stuff ready. But, these hangers are not something I can use. I hope someone else might get some use from them.

Day 210 - Palm Car Charger - GONE!

This took longer than I expected, but the Palm charger is on its way out of the hosue! Yippie!
