here i am!! lol everything has been a bit hecic the last week, especially this weekend. I think friday night after like 10 or so I basically went m.i.a to the online world. except for a few tweets saturday & yesterday!
last week I mostly spent my days going through the majority of the things in the house looking for things for my yardsale. nothing all that interesting really to speak of!
Saturday I had my yardsale at my mom’s. I actually go there around 7, which is a miracle i usually run really behind. the first thing i had to do was send my dad out to fix the signs they had put out the day before. they were all droopy because of the humidity or whatever.
to be a yardsale that was only advertised on craigslist the night before and only had signs out… i did pretty damn good! david sold his radio for 30 (he wanted 40 but he changed his mind) there were a few things mom had in that she wanted the money for, so she made 15. I made a little over a hundred! also, I had got this massager thing a long time ago as a gift from someone as a late wedding present or something I don’t even know. i had it at moms and forgot about it.. well we had my barcode scanner on my phone and it rang up 87 bucks! so we took it to walmart and they took it back! so most awesome day indeed!
I actually did better with just putting it on craigslist/the signs than when we have a neighborhood yardsale. maybe because less competition or whatever. it was pretty funny because we were packing stuff up about 12 and here came car loads of people and i was like just go through whatever u want, and things were selling like mad..lol i think people liked digging through boxes and bags more than it being on the tables!
I cleaned out alot of the older things and sent them to goodwill. i still have a respectable 4 tubs left! I might have one in two weeks when the neighborhood has theirs. but i’m actually more or less planning to have one at my grandmas this fall sooo…
yesterday I went with david to his grandmas! i’d only met her breifly one time, and since we had to take davids dad up there since he’s staying there since he got kicked out and whatnot…i was like ok i want to go. because of course I love the mountains, and I didn’t want david to have to drive back by himself…
it was BEAUTIFUL. seriously if i had this view you’d never ever get me out of the mountains(ok wp & flickr are not getting along so just check out flickr for the pics until I can get it worked out)
david has never got to really spend anytime with his grandma since he was little and they moved up there. his grandma is about 85(my great grandma was 87!) (and my grandma is 71!) but anyways she was one of the most fascinating people I have ever met. she had awesome stories and I swear i could have stayed forever and talked with her. I think david has realized how much he has missed out on. he is wanting to go up there next month and spend a weekend. I think it will be fun. hey if we start doing monthly visits to his g-ma and mine we would hardly ever be home on weekends lol
well i’m out for now. i don’t have too much to get done. i swear we bought a mop at walmart and i can’t find it anywhere lol. I do need to get 1 of my 4 product reviews up today, but i’m waiting on a email to clarify something..so unti then.. i will prob be straightening up a bit and trying to comment some of you all 🙂
