One rambling tangent, eight bags and a goal

[vanillafluffy]

I always thought you could find practically anything on eBay, but maybe not. Or maybe I'm just not looking properly. I have one of those heavy-duty desk top tape dispensers. Trouble is, it's missing the little spool you put the roll of tape on

tape dispenser core

[ang5fam]

I can order you one from my office supply catalog here at work- need to know if it's 1 inch or 3 inch. It's called a tape dispenser core next time you look at Ebay....It will be my gift if you want me to order it.

Thank you, sweetie! That's such a logical way to find it, but it never crossed my mind.

It's just for a single roll of tape, so I guess it would be 1-inch.

You rock!

Wait! I just checked Office Depot---they have them for 99 cents. Knowing that, I can get one whenever I dig out the dispencer. Please don't order one, I hate the thought of paying dollars for shipping on an item that costs pennies!

OK, then. They don't charge us shipping as we order from them all of the time so if you change your mind, I am the tape core connection. :)

I improvised one with a bent paper clip at work, but my fave off the beaten track office supply place also sells replacement cores:

YAY! for you for the big fling! Keep it moving, girl. *hugs*

Great---51 cents, and $8 shipping. Again, I can think of better things to do with $8. That's just against my religion.

I just started a load of denim so I can have my jeans again (and a few other things). On the way back from the garage, I started rooting around in my pantry, rearranging cans.

I can see little patches of order: My dining room is 75% improved. The kitchen has its functional counter-space accessable. My office had about 30% of its floor space cleared. My bedroom...well, it's less deep.

Not of which addresses the damn living room.

You'll work your way back around to the living room. That's wonderful about the dining room, kitchen and office.

I need to work fast; GK *may* be down here for a visit the week after next, and I promised her a place to stay.

It helps that I got the car cleared out. That gives me room to haul some drek off to the thrift store. I'm crossing my fingers that if she *does* come, I can get her to give me a hand with shifting some of the bigger stuff around.

I'm losing my mind. I heard the damn Count from Sesame St. in my head when I read this. "I have EIGHT bags of trash! NYAHAHAHA!"

[vanillafluffy]

Oh, the horror!
