My sister-in-law Joy got me started on Freecycle. If you don't know what it is I'll explain: basically it's an internet community that posts stuff they want to give away or get for free. It's a way to get rid of stuff you don't need by giving it to someone else. I joined the Bolivar and Springfield community several months ago hoping that I would have as much luck as Joy has. She has got all kinds of great stuff for herself and her kids. I, on the other hand, haven't received anything worth while. I'm a little frustrated with the site actually. No one ever posts anything I'm interested in and most of them are for junk or animals they no longer want. With the economy the way it is people are really getting crazy. They post looking for big ticket items that cost a lot of money. I guess in a way I understand but then there are people on there asking for toilet paper. I sort of feel bad for them in a way that they can't even afford TP but hey we can still afford our internet. Seriously people. I know money is tight believe me with all our debt with our building I know but I think I would give up my internet access before I couldn't afford TP. Okay I'm done with that rant for now.
Craigslist on the other had has been a success. I recently bought a $200+ jogging stroller at a great price. Never mind that I had to drive to Wainsville to get it but I still think it was worth it. I need to learn how to post things on Craigslist so I can get rid of some of my junk.
Justin and I got the crib together last night. I was trying to help and he got frustrated with my suggestions so it wasn't as fun as I'd hoped but its done now and looks great. I'll be washing bedding and putting that on later today. I can't wait to have her room all ready for her. We start our childbirth classes tonight. I hope that they will be worthwhile but I'm not putting too much faith in them. I'm mostly going b/c of the discount we get for going. I'm sure there will be a lot of good information especially about baby care. We'll see. I'm not too excited about the drive up and back an extra day a week but oh well. At least we're going to do something fun today before class, we're going to Target to register for baby stuff. I love picking things out. So much fun. So much to look forward to.
