Ghost Busting
IndulgeIn Monday, I had the pleasure of seeing a preview of the new Ghostbusters film. People (read: sexist people) need to shut up about this remake ‘ruining’ the original. This film was so much fun. The cast is superb and it was funny, crass and tongue in cheek. I was really entertained and that is what a good film should do. Go see it!
For reference, about forty people showed up with proton packs and full GB suits.
Keep your peepers peeled for cameos by the original cast. When you have their blessing, plus some great unsexy acting by Chris Hemsworth, you know you will enjoy yourself.
Fantastic ensemble and some truly weird moments.

UncategorizedSummer to-do: day 8- swap and donate clothes
UncategorizedGet ‘er done!
Get it all done. So far I’ve worked through two rooms, top to bottom. I flipped mattresses, washed drapes, emptied all drawers and purged the closet in the master bedroom.
I rearranged the dressing room, purged that too, put all shoes away properly and cleaned/ polished them. Took items to a clothing swap and we donated all the rest of the items to a Clothing Drive for Syrian refugees. Amazing stuff. Pre-swap we had soooo much stuff. 
Post event we were amazed at how many things we were taking to the donation bank. Keeping things out of landfills and helping both the community and environment always puts a spring in my step.
This is just half of the yet-unfolded clothing to be sent to a new home.
Before chucking your pre-loved items, consider hosting a swap.
