Ski's

Yesterday we found a pair of ski's standing next to the trash. We took em.

We were riding home late at night, we had been drinking, I have to say that.
We rode our bikes through one of those really expensive neighbourhoods when I saw a pair of ski
's including the boots standing next to the trash. I told my boyfriend and he returned to check them out. He said they were fine and we agreed to take them home and give them to a second hand store. It is just such a waste to just throw them away.
We finally decided to put them on ebay for charity. I want to give the money to one of those organizations where they make sure children can have a holiday.

My boyfriend has just finished playing some shoot em up game. He has played for years and he and a group of people had decided to buy their own server. Now they've stopped he decided to sell the server on ebay and to give the money to the cancerfoundation.

I do have a lot of books that I do not read anymore, so I am going to sell them as well and give the money away. It is such a joy to have an income and be able to share that with people who are in need. We really do not need all those things and we do not need all that money either.
We do not spend a lot of money on things we do not need, we save money for things we really want. It is really nice to be financially independent and to have someone who shares your thoughts about giving.

Update

Well I guess surfing must feel like this. All relaxed and riding the wave.
Holiday in Sicily was just great. It was like a honeymoon except we weren't married. It was great: we were like the best team ever. If you ever go to Sicily go to Antica Tindari. It is all you can wish for, and way better then you can do it yourself. We are definitely planning on going again in spring.
It is nice to have actually deserved a holiday and then be able to enjoy it. I'll upload some pictures later. If you want tips for the best places you can email me, because I think we have seen them all.
It still brings a smile to my face actually thinking about it.
And a couple of days ago I got an " offer I can't refuse" :) To go and talk to a guy who is setting up a business and they are searching for a project manager. And they said good things about me and now he wants to see me. I am thrilled. Thrilled people actually think about me when they are searching for people, and thrilled because it may imply a new job. And that would be cool.
So I am still in a very good place right now.
