Day 273 - Crib & Mattress

Today I am offering a crib and mattress. We used this for one of my girls - and my cousins have also used it. But, it has plenty of life left in it for another baby!

Day 272 - large file cabinet

Today I am offering a large file cabinet - I think 5 drawers or so? Not the prettiest thing you've ever seen, but gets the job done.

We already have one cabinet and really can't have a need (at this point in our lives) for 2!!! Seriously, must we file this much stuff? I don't think so!

Day 271 - Kids Table

Today I am offering a small wooden kids table. It nicely sits 2-4 kids. Could use a little TLC to make it a bit sturdier.

This is the table I grew up playing with, so there is some sentimental value. But, my MIL got us a great table last Christmas and we don't need 2. This has been in the nursery forever, but soon we'll need the nursery to be a nursery rather than a storage room. So, it is on the outs!

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!!!

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 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!!!

Friday, September 18, 2009

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.

Tuesday, September 15, 2009

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!

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.

Saturday, September 12, 2009

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.

Friday, September 11, 2009

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!!

Wednesday, September 9, 2009

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..............

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

Sunday, September 6, 2009

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!

Saturday, September 5, 2009

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 $$$.

Friday, September 4, 2009

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.......

Thursday, September 3, 2009

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?

Wednesday, September 2, 2009

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!

Tuesday, September 1, 2009

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!
