Purging
The end of the year is always a good time to say goodbye to things we no longer need or use. As it happens, I've been culling through some things on my bookshelves as I rearrange the junk and move it from one area to the other. I've filled an entire trash bag and another grocery bag with recycling, but I've also got a giant stack of stuff sitting here on the office room floor just begging for a new home. I wonder if any of my readers could use some of this stuff. I've separated it into lots, and if you're willing to pay the postage, or if you're local and willing to pick it up, it's yours first-comment, first-serve.
Lot #1 Food Allergies (3 lbs 11 oz.)
The Parent's Guide to Food Allergies by Marianne S. Barber et. al.
The Allergy Self-Help Cookbook by Marjorie Hurt Jones
The Whole Foods Allergy Cookbook by Cybele Pascal
Lot #2 Super Sock Yarn
Okay, not really so super. But it's kind of super-man colors. This was an experiment last summer that I just don't love, not even enough to put up in the etsy shop.
Lot #3 Old Palm Pilot
This is a Palm V that used to be Joe's. I had an identical one, and it was great for its time - about six or seven years ago. It comes with the manual and all the cables and cradle and stuff, including a very nice Coach case that fits it perfectly. You'll have to download the software to synch it up to your computer, but it should still work just fine.
And finally, a copy of Drunk, Divorced and Covered in Cat Hair by Laurie Perrie, aka Crazy Aunt Purl. I just finished reading it, and it was a fun read. I really liked it, but it's not the kind of book I think I'd read again. I mean, I really identified with aspects of Laurie's personality - the awkward, funny, just-wanting-to-be-liked part. And I really identify, both in her book and blog, with her attitude of doing the best she can in the moment, of moving forward one step at a time.
Oh, and one other thing - I'd like to spread the joy. If you've won anything in a contest here before, please hold back and give someone else a change this time.

I just read Crazy Aunt Purl's book, I started it during one of my frenetic, insomniac nights. I found it to be surprisingly poignant and cathartic.
I'd be interested in the Crazy Aunt Purl book or the sock yarn.

I'd like the allergy books if I can send you cc paypal for the postage!
Darlin' a Palm Pilot would make me go-go-gadget happy!! I'd be thrilled to pay for the postage.
I'd like the sock yarn if it doesn't end up with someone else first. Thanks!
If the Crazy Aunt Purl book hasn't gone to melonkelli, I'm interested.
