Did some MAJOR hauling of items this morning. I’ll give y’all a video tour of everything when I’m 100% organized.
Here are items I am Craig’s-listing
My beloved stereo I hauled from Hillsborough to 4 dorm rooms to our apartment to our house. Sorry, guy, everything is digital now 
Maybe some teenager would like it for Christmas?
Our first piece of furniture that isn’t sturdy enough to cross state lines. It’s free for whoever comes to pick it up!
Our cappuccino maker. It’s missing the carafe since we broke it too many times and converted to French press. It’s in perfect condition though! Hoping to make a few dollars off of this one..
After organizing, I went for a SPEEDY run. I had lots of energy to burst out the door into the mist. Might have needed an umbrella..ella..ella..ella. I ran for speed today and completed 4 miles in 33:43. It’s amazing what some heart-pumping dance music will do
Splits:
- 8:15
- 8:14
- 8:43 (crossed a street)
- 8:22
Whatcha say!?
I wasn’t really that hungry for lunch, but I had to eat or I’d probably get starving during my back-to-back classes.
I put together a quesadilla with our last tortilla, the last half cup of curry chicken lentil dal and some shredded cheese -
And a wimpy spinach salad – spinach + carrots + almonds drizzled with EVOO and agave
And I’m late because I had to make dinner!!
To class I go!
{ 56 comments… read them below or add one }
Hopefully all those things will find a good home again soon! Feels good to unload things sometimes though!
Have a great class night and can’t wait to see whats in the crockpot later:)
those are some nice items you’re putting on craigslist! I’m sure they will make somebody very happy
yay for the crockpot – aren’t they the best??
I’m making curry chicken tonight too but I’m totally cheating…using a Trader Joe’s simmer sauce. But better than takeout, right? Hope class goes quickly…looks like you’ve accomplished a lot already today! (Me, notsomuch, but to be fair it is only 10:30 for me).
Sometimes craigslist is a real lifesaver. I hope you can unload some of your extra stuff!
I still have a stereo like that in my bedroom at home. Remember when they were soooo cool?? I have such a hard time parting with it!
I have that same stereo! We barely use it, but it still works for the radio & odd CD’s that we have lying around. I think the next time we move I’m going to take a note from you – organize, throw away, sell, and ORGANIZE. I am such a packrat and really need to start anew.
Also – that piece of furniture is gorgeous – too bad I live in Seattle or I would definitely head on over to pick it up!
Aww what a beautiful piece of furniture! If I lived close by, I would be all over it
Good luck with the rest of your cleaning!
Oh, I am sure anyone would be glad to take that great stuff off your hands. I love getting rid of things I don’t need! I am not a fan of clutter so I am always getting rid of stuff.
Whats in the crockpot?????
You are one quick runner! Great job!
Yum! Your lunch looks great and its awesome that you re-use your leftovers instead of letting them go bad! Very creative
.
Hailed from Hillsborough!? Woo hoo, thats where I teach.. I love the historic district!
Good luck! I hope you make some money!
Too bad I don’t live close by, I would totally take that dresser off your hands
Did you notice the machine time is 12:26? I did!
Ooh! Looks like some good stuff! I’ve actually made a pretty good chunk of change by selling stuff on craigslist every time I move.
I like the title of this post…my dog’s name is Ella, and we always sing that song to her
We have an old school stereo like that as well. My husband refuses to get rid of it. sigh.
hey kath – great job on your monday run! i did 4.5 this morning and it’s kept me energized so far! i emailed back and forth with you a few months ago when you were considering jacksonville as a location for a great harvest franchise (congrats on that, btw!). sorry you’re not coming to jax but i think you’ll do great in charlottesville! anyways, just wanted to let you know that me and my running buddies are coming to charlotte for the thunder road marathon next month (though we’re only doing the half…). we’re super excited to run in cooler weather and to get to visit Trader Joe’s (it’ll be my first time!). we’re going to be staying at the Westin downtown and are planning on our pre-race pizza dinner at Brixx – i think there’s a location downtown? maybe we’ll even get to hit up Great Harvest! wish us luck!!!
I love reading your posts when you’re energized/hyper : ) Cleaning and good music will do that to ya. That dresser looks really nice. It will be someone’s new treasure!
I really wish that dresser could be shipped because I totally need a new one! And I lurve recycling/reusing!
Good luck with the craigslist items-I’m sure everything will work out really well!
Those are some quick times on the run! Awesome!
I wish I lived closer because that coffee maker looks amazing
I wish I lived closer to you so I could take a couple of those Craigslist items off your hands!
yay! another crock pot dinner!
jenna
haha. you really think you’ll sell that stereo?!
i’m so impressed with how much you’ve used the crockpot – i swear, you’ve used it more since you’ve gotten it than i have in the 5 years i’ve owned mine!
I would love to take that piece of furniture off your hands! Wish I lived closer. I think AZ is too far away though, he he.
You have inspired me to get rid of my similar stereo too. I don’t know why we still have it? So, did you take the picture of your cappuccino maker at 12:26 on purpose or was that a weird coincidence, ha ha ha.
So odd, in cleaning out your bookshelves yesterday, I found the user’s guide to that stereo!
Craigslist is amazing — you never know what you’ll find and people are buying (and selling) absolutely everything imaginable!
ooo good luck with Craigslist!!
Yay for the crockpot! And I hope craiglist works out for you. i’ve never used it. I think the stories of it scares me away
Crock Pots save the day huh?
can you believe it….I don’t own a crockpot!!!! I’ve been wanting one. They seem so convenient!
Your quesadilla looks warm and good!
I had that same stereo in my Dorm Room(s)
I had similar stereo before I discovered MP3’s.
I can’t wait to see what’s in the crock pot. I have our favorite chili in ours that I’m about to go dig into right now
Music makes all the difference in my run too. The first thing I want to do when I get some new downloads on itunes is hit the pavement… or the treadmill – I’m just pumped!
I’m about to do some Fall cleaning and put stuff on Craig’s List, too! We have been accumulating WAY too much stuff.
You should put that cabinet on http://www.freecycle.org — it’s a site for people that are giving things away and/or looking for free stuff, usually locally.
Jenn
Hopefully you can make a little $$$ off of your goods. Although it takes a lot of time and effort to go through everything, it’s worth it when everything is organized, you get rid of the “junk” you never use that’s just taking up space, AND you can make extra cash!
Love your simple lunch!
Georgeous food.
I would like to know your opinion on eggs. On a lot of blogs I have noticed that people use the egg whites only, or one-egg and some whites. I usually have 2 eggs + 2 whites or more, simply because they are fairly low calorie and I want to bulk up the protein portion of the plate (my other meals all tend to be very vegan and nearly protein-deficient). I do snack on nuts and nut butters often though. Thanks for any thought on that.
Did you see the AMAs last night? ( Just connecting the title associated with rhianna, so wondered if you enjoyed her performance…I was bit disapointed ).
Look at those mile splits — way to go!!
Man, I wish I could run as fast as you.
I don’t like quesedillas, but those sound amazing! Curry + dal + cheese <3 Good luck in class!
Hey Kath,
Just curious, what brand of tortilla do you use? I want to find one without trans fats, and that looks like a good size one too.
Thanks!
The dresser is beautiful! Nebraska’s a little far for a dresser reconnaissance mission though.
Love the crokcpot – such a lifesaver!
I love that chest of drawers!! We live pretty close (I think!) and are trying to fill our new house. Here I go to find it on craigslist…
oh you are a quesadilla queen ! I like your way of making them;-) looks very healthy!
Hey Kath!
Ill take the dresser! At the airport about to fly to boston for thanksgiving but will be south again on sun. Ill email you for details.
Oh they jams I listened to on my boom box! I think my mom uses it in her bedroom now – haha!
Danielle
Those are really nice items; I’m sure you’ll find them new homes in no time!! Love the quesadilla! and crock-pots are just the best!
I sold my stereo this year too. Funny how things change! Nice items hope they make people very happy. Also good for you for being SO proactivie in cleansing. I wish I was! I keep thinking moving will making purging easier.
Nice job on the run!!
Hope you have luck selling your craiglists items. They looks great – I’m sure you will!
Those quesadillas look great.
Abbys,
Yes!! My parents live right on Churton! I grew up stompin’ all around that town!
rhodeygirl + Melissa,
Total coincidence!! GOOD CATCH!!
Bethany,
Oh fun!!! I know a few others coming to town – maybe we could do a big Brixx dinner? I’m free that weekend! Send me an email if you’re interested. I might run in the 5K.
Valerie,
My opinion: eggs are great – yolk and all. Unless you are watching your cholesterol or eat a TON of animal products (like are a big guy who eats steak for breakfast) EAT THE WHOLE EGG! And love that delicious yolk.
Megan,
This guy was Trader Joe’s, which has great tortilla options. I also eat Garden of Eatin’ and Ezekiel ones.
Emily + Marisa,
It’s not on Craigslist yet – I gotta do the entry. I’ll hold off a few days on the dresser to give you guys a chance to email me if you’re really interested. It’s a bit wobbly, but just needs some more nails in the back!
Kath
hey kath -
i’m a HUGE fan of your blog, and i’m especially
in love with nut butters.
i’m wondering if
you could possibly post (or e-mail) a list somewhere
of the ones you’ve tried.
i’d love to get your opinion on the best ones!
Alison,
Yes, I should do a list on the Q+A page! My favorites are Barney Butter, Maranatha, Costco PB and all things Naturally Nutty (esp. the vanilla almond butter – to die for!). The Nuttzo is also really fun, and I loved the honey roasted freshly ground my sister let me try in Boston. Futter Butter’s hazelnut butter is also really good, but takes a bit to acquire the taste
Kath
Crockpots are a busy girl’s lifesaver!!
Kath, I like the title of your post, seeing as my name is “Ella”
People love to sing that song to me.
Hi–
If you can’t sell it, I know a couple of classroom teachers who would love to have a tape deck in their classrooms.
