Congratulations! You have been to to Ship Full O' Pirates over 100 times! Just thought you'd like to know.

I guess y’all know we are preparing to move house for the first time in 18 years.  This week is a big un-clutter push.  We’ve been working on the garage and the older boys’ room.

Good grief!  What giant heaps of . . . stuff!

We’ve hauled a ton of junk out to the curb to be picked up by  the city next week 0n their regularly scheduled rounds.  Tossing junk is the easy part of this equation.  Dealing with the rest of the clutter is the hard part.

Stuff has to be sorted.  Decisions have to be made.  Plans have to be followed through on.

I’ve been gearing up and adding to our to do lists daily.  We’re doin’ pretty good.

It’s the books though.  Books are hard to part with.  But we’re doin’ it.  We’ve made a ton of categories.

• Books to give to friends that we think will use them.
• Books to sell on my book blog and maybe eBay.
• There’s also a secret category that I’ll tell you about in a few days!
• Books to give to Goodwill.
• Books to list on PaperBackSwap.

What?  You haven’t heard about PaperBackSwap?  You don’t know know what a cool deal you are missing out on!  It’s just what the name implies.  When you sign up and create an account, you list your books that you no longer need (it’s easy, you just enter the isbn).  Then once you have entered your first ten books they give you two credits that  you can use to order books from other members.  Usually one credit = one book.

And if you tell them I sent you (MotherHen88) then I’ll get a credit too (once you list your first ten books)!

So, get crackin’!  Un-clutter your book shelves and sign up!  Please use one of the links in this post to do so, it makes it automatically credit me as your referrer.  However, if you forgot to use my links, you can still list me (MotherHen88) as the friend who referred you!

The rare post script: My letter-carrier had a package for me today.  It was a book I had ordered.  Crackin’ myself up!
