So this last Saturday I had a garage sale with my girls. I had never had a garage sale before but I figured it couldn’t be too bad. As you know I went through all my crap to decide what’s going and what’s not. The garage sale was held at Shell’s house and I did my thing by arriving at 8:30am and unloading my 1 table worth of crap, 1 box of cd’s and 1 tv. Jen arrived 10 minutes later to unload her second car load, all of this while Shell continues to set up her stuff too. We opened at 9am. We were not ready. I only sold cd’s and one shirt while Michelle proceeded to sell her customers ocean front property in Arizona which resulted in her section of the notebook overflowing with dollar signs. I highly recommend that if you have a garage sale, you get this girl to come and help you. She will sell your shit. I don’t, however, recommend you have her selling any of her stuff at the time, I mean, hello…. . She can also make a mean ham sandwich on a bagel. And who doesn’t want that?
Unsurprisingly, I unloaded the rest of my crap at Goodwill yesterday. This was upsetting. Making money on the crap you bought but never used makes it much easier to justify the shopping trip to replenish what was sold. But giving it away for free just makes me feel like I need to be more conscience of my spending habits. Although, I do feel good for contributing to those less fortunate. (does that work?)
All in all garage sales are okay. I’ll take any excuse to hang out with my girls for 8 hours straight. I love that stuff.
In other news:
Denis Leary is back in town to entertain me again this summer! I cannot wait.
I’m going camping this weekend and I cannot wait!
Sweetlips is the sweetest for making me ginger tea and playing Yahtzee with me to distract me from my feelings of queasiness. Ha, I won 2 out 3 games. And that’s all I care about!
I’m walking every day. It actually helped with the queasiness on Monday night.
I’m having insomnia. I have never felt so tired yet so unable to sleep in my life. I’m going to wishing I have this in 7.5 months.
Sweetlips has said some really funny things but I’m having a hard time remembering them because my brain is fried from the baby.
I’m sorry if this blog is all baby now. But since I’m a baby and it’s all I think about, that’s just how it might be for awhile.

Those kids suck the life out of you, but its worth it. Mine continues to take my heart to school with her every day.

I rationalize the Goodwill stuff by saying at least I get a [small] tax deduction from it. Not quite the same as making money from it, but whatever.

Oh, I need to have a garage sale. Is your friend free to come to Dallas?
