    Good luck Angie,
    We are getting ready to set up to be open at 8. Hope it goes well. I can't remember if I posted yesterday, but a woman came by and asked what time we were closing today and said she would buy all that was left! Yea...sure it will be rock bottom but I am so over all this stuff so anything will be good!
    And dh made me buy dinner last night, and ds needed money for his scout trip so there went my day's profit! LOL

    The gray, rainy day that they've been predicting since Tuesday is here. I have to strip off the ugly wallpaper so dh can hang the new stuff. I saw dd1 last night when I dropped off dd3 at her dad's for the weekned. They'll both be home tomorrow.
    I don't know if I posted about this, but dd1 got an internship at the newspaper up here for the summer. Last summer we commuted together (actually, I drove-she dozed! LOL). But this year she said if she didn't get a job up here, she'd just live with her dad and visit when she could. So I was thrilled when she got the good news. She is going in on Monday to set things up. I thought she'd be a go-fer, but they are going to send her out on assignments, and she'll have her byline and everything. Did I mention that it's a PAID internship? Guess she'll be able to cover her own expenses. And the paper is less than 5 minutes from where I work. And she'll get to meet some people and learn her way around. (We moved here 3 weeks before she left for college.) AND for the first time, she actually has a room!! It's painted and cleaned, and not in the basement family room. It even has a DOOR!!
    I'm sort of psyched about all this! Can you tell?

    I told my mom I'd pick her up by 9:00... wouldn't you know of all mornings to sleep in just had to be this morning. All week I've been wide awake and ready to go by 5:00 AM... today I wake up at 8:00. Now I'm running/racing like crazy trying to make it there on time. Of course... I had to come here before I left. LOL

    Hope all of you who are having garage sales have a lot of luck getting rid of everything. Ann... how nice of that lady. At least you know by the end of your day it will be GONE.

    Have a good day all.

    Diane...

    Morning all. It is literally freezing here. Snowed a bit last night even.

    I am heading out to a couple of indoor garage sales, then to work at the auction for the day. No plans for tonight, but might phone friends to see if they would like to play cards.

    Had the best time garage saleing the morning. Found lots of cute cheap things for dgd. Of course I go to these with one thing in mind that I want - a stroller to keep at my house - didn't get that, but did get the toddler car seat that I need for my car and the cutest little couch and chair set. What fun!!

    This afternoons plans include groceries and maybe some yard work.

    Hope everyone's garage sales turned out profitable, and better yet less clutter to take back in( or dispose of)

    Ann - cool 'bout your "clean up lady"
    Cathy - how fun to have your dd there!!!!!
    Fern - you should've popped over to my sale, I had good lil' girl stuff.
    Angie - did you get rained out?

    Home again and glad to be here. We are finally getting into a bit of a routine again. The kids sure love their new little sister. The poor kid has to stay asleep just so she doesn't get mauled. The little ones check her every five minutes and report what she is doing.
    Mom she's sleeping
    Mom she's still slepping
    Mom she moved her finger
    Mom.......
    Mommy's helpers are just a little too helpful.
    Hope we hear from Karla soon too. I can't wait to hear about her new little bundle.
    I tried to post a photo, but keep getting a little red xin a box instead of showing the photo. I'll keep working on it.
    Any pointers??????? What am I doing wrong????

    Up early to run errands. Got some stuff done in the house too, not that you can really tell. Oh well, there's always tomorrow. Ds has a friend sleeping over hopefully they won't stay up too late. I think at 10:30 I'm telling them lights out.

    Judy- I have always been told that most kittens can get fixed at 4 months. The one we have now is on the small side so the vet wanted to wait until he was 5 months old. Never heard about waiting until 6 months. Maybe it depends on the vet. We we to the vet across from the Mexican food resturant we've talked about before (can't remember the name right now) next to the grocery store (can't think of the name of it either). Near Cliffdale by Mc Donalds. They were pretty good there (at least back when we lived there...)
