It's almost February, which means we're getting dangerously close to spring again in Texas. Get a head start on your spring cleaning with two events spotlighted in this week's edition of the Shopper!
This Saturday, January 28th, the City of Greenville and IES will host a city-wide cleanup for citizens of Greenville from 8am to 2pm. The event will take place at the IESI facility, at 4618 Ed Rutherford Drive in Greenville, and proof of residency within the city will be required in the form of a bill, tax statement or drivers license. Items that will be accepted include: household trash, furniture, tires, construction materials, washers and dryers, stoves, ovens and ranges, microwaves, computers and monitors. Items that will not be accepted include: paint, chemicals, automotive batteries, pesticides, air conditioners, refrigerators and freezers. Find more information about the event, and get rid of items not accepted at the Cleanup, here.
If it's your marriage that needs a spring cleaning, the Greenville YMCA will be hosting a seminar that will clear the cobwebs out of your relationship. The Love & Laughter Marriage Getaway is slated to take place on January 27th and 28th at the Greenville Municipal Auditorium. The Getaway features authors and speakers Dr. Gary Smalley and Ted Cunningham, who promise to impart to frustrated couples the secrets that will help them achieve good communication, maintain familial closeness and, perhaps most importantly, balance expectations with reality. For more information, or to register, visit the Greenville YMCA online.
If the idea of an entire home or marital overhaul sounds a little overwhelming to you, check out page 12 of this week's shopper, which outlines several ways to stir up a little romance on Valentine's Day (yes, that's also coming up). The theme is simple: just think hearts. Here are a few ideas: make a heart-shaped pizza, cut your kitchen sponges into heart shapes, carve a heart with your initials in a tree, make heart-shaped place mats, draw a heart on the mirror with lipstick... you get it. Hey, when else will you be appreciated for being this uncreative?
