May 2, 2010: Summer Is Here!

I am so happy to see sunlight and leaves! I think the four seasons are just long enough to enjoy them and then seriously welcome the next season! Here is our street (both ways) now lined with leafed trees!

May 1, 2010: Preparing for the Garage Sale

Justin, another couple, and their friend helped me begin organizing all the stuff at the former jazz club for our upcoming garage sale. Look at all this stuff!!!!!!

April 30, 2010: Ebay Ebay Ebay

I have fallen a bit behind taking daily pictures with the exception of my ebay things! I've been sooooo busy on ebay, but I seem to bring home more items than I am selling, and we have NO room for all of this. Here's a picture of a lot I just listed--baby toys!

April 29, 2010: Tessa's Paw

As I was having my daily Doggie Morning Snuggle Time, I admired Tessa's paw--I love the mix of colors: black, white, pink, and brown.

April 28, 2010: Rescued Plant

Jay, a man I worked for briefly, wants me to have a garage sale with all of the personal and business items a former jazz club owner left in his building. Most of the plants left there have died, but I took one out today and plan to save it. It seems to be doing well after I picked out most of the dead parts and gave it sun and water.

April 27, 2010: Hoover Is Dead.

Our Hoover Wind Tunnel vacuum cleaner is now dead. Justin and I used all of our Bed, Bath, and Beyond gift cards we got last July (when we got married) as well as a 20% off coupon to buy the supposed-top-of-the-line Dyson vacuum cleaner, about $500. It comes with a five-year warranty, and the employee said most people bring it back to the store with some "defect" at the five-year mark and get a new vacuum cleaner! Sounds good to me. So far, I like it overall. It sucks well, it's easy to maneuver, and it is much easier to clean out the dust bin without getting dust all over the place.

April 26, 2010: Monkeying Around

I am going to be sad to get rid of this RurReal chimp that belongs to my mom! Mom picked this up at Value World, and I am selling it on ebay for her. This chimp makes monkey noises, reaches his arms up to hug you, and even sucks when you put a bottle/something in his mouth! His face, hands, and feet feel and look real!
