Oy. STUFF
How do I get so much stuff? Wow. And stuff I have never even used or looked at, either. I wish the pet food store would stop giving me free samples because most of the time they're not brands I'd feed my feral cats or are too far expired and then I end up breaking down a bunch of boxes and throwing out what's inside! Not to look a gift horse in the mouth! But I totally HATE HAVING EXTRA GARBAGE. Especially now that I'm trying to dump a bunch of stuff in my Mammoth Spring Cleaning Effort.
If anyone near me wants any of the following, let me know! The list is pretty random! Gotta go, ASAP.
