Since I have been remodeling and fixing up my home, I have generated a lot of trash. More recently, I took down a deck that was in my front yard and I had the wood pieces and all the cinder blocks sitting all over my front yard.

Early this morning I posted on Craigslist that I had cinder blocks and wood for free in my front yard and for anyone that wanted it to come and get it. It was gone in less than 20 minutes after I posted! Man did I luck out. That’s one less trip to the dump. Now, does anyone want the couch still in the front yard?

The new year is here. Tons of people are at the gym for the next few weeks until everyone that joined decides they don’t really want to go anymore. And through all of this, our Christmas lights are still up. It’s 12 days into January and they are still hanging around the front door of our house and still coming on thanks to the trusty timer.

How long can they stay up before it’s too long? And when do we think the home owners association is going to say something about. Granted, we are not the only ones that still have lights up…..

Signs litter the sides of roads and highways all over the place. Personally, my own mailbox has been filled with a slew of mailers addressed to my family. Not me, but the to the family of. Tons of money is spent just trying to get a candidates name out there and rightly so I guess.

I believe it’s our right and our duty to vote. If you haven’t voted yet, you should. But, I have to admit, the clutter and mirage of posters and yard signs is little sicking when you get anywhere close to a voting location. Is it simply a reminder to vote, to vote here, or is it just a little bit over the top?
