YARD SALE!!

I stole this from my sister's post;
"
We are having a huge multifamily yard sale this Saturday from 8:00 am - noon at 4976 West Tolin Circle (3145 South). We have finally gone through the backroom which was chuck full of my parents' leftovers. It was the craftroom, among other things, so we have TONS of scrapbooking/crafting supplies that we just want to get rid of, and consequently are dirt cheap. I'm talking about $2.00 for an entire album of stickers and diecuts (some sheets alone which were worth $5.00 to begin with) and for a two foot long tote of paper. We also combined my scrapbook room with the office so I had to limit the supplies of my own that I kept. We also have a lot of books, Cds, DVDs, toys, games, electronics, kitchen supplies and furniture (TV stands, king size mattress set, kitchen table, coffee table, desks, book shelves, a plush rocking chair, etc.) from us and the other families involved."

Lera is going to have a ton of stuff!!! And it's all very cheap. I'm also in on this sale, I have a ton that needs to go as well. So does my sister London. So does Lera's mother-in-law.

Please come and support us in getting rid of our old treasures.

The good, the bad, and the ugly...

Our family is having one gigantic yard sale this coming Saturday morning. Right now I am frantically trying to get my side of items priced and organized...it's not really happening for me. Right now I'm thoroughly distracted by Chuck Season 1-that Lera bought me for my birthday. I'm also freaking out a little bit about a creepy wolf spider that just ran over my foot and bit my toe while I was tagging old VHS movies. (As info, it actually bit my stub. And let's face it nothing is going to get diseased and fall off there...)

So instead of stressing out about what to get rid of and what to keep or nasty face spiders that are lurking in the cavernous shelves in my room, I'm blogging.

I'm going to blog about some of the good, the bad, and the so ugly it's embarrassing that I used to own this items. Here we go. Try to figure out which ones I'm embarrassed about...

Garfield gone crazy

When Lera and I were younger, we went to the library - a lot. Our mom told us that we were allowed to check out 20 books at a time or 10 movies. Lera and I used to have reading competitions.

Lera started out giving me the advantage of having about 1,000 pages less to read than her, I won most of the time. Then it went to 800, 500 and then 200 pages. Finally we started doing the same amount. It was neck and neck with our winnings. (Or maybe she won most of the time.)

My books were always so much easier to read then hers. She would read novels about vampires, school criteria, and LDS fiction, I would read goosebumps and Ender's Game...repetitively.

I also loved Garfield comics. I seriously think that I have read every Garfield comic book in that library. It didn't count toward the competitions, but I still loved them.

Its been about 12 years or so since I've read one and then I came across these from a friend at work.

Garfield Minus Garfield.

They have taken Garfield out of the strips. And it makes John look completely crazy. You should google them and have a laugh.

Where have I been??

I haven't been blogging. The reason why is obvious. I'm tired.

I have been trying unsuccessfully to get out of debt and the thought occurred to me, If I'm not spending less, I've got to make more. Alas, I got a second job.

I'm now working at Kohl's in customer service. It's a really easy fun job. I like the people I work with and I get a sweet discount. (Which I still haven't used yet - and I'm amazed.)

Even though I'm grateful for the second income, the hours are starting to add up. They take a hold of my social life, my sleeping patterns, and worst of all my dinners. Missing out on food is unacceptable.

But doing this I've realized that sleep does come before food and paying off debt does beat a wicked sweet discount on clearance items.

The plus signs of having no life...
I'm down a few pounds, I have one credit card paid off, I have a savings account that is growing weekly, and I've been sleeping instead of watching Bones or Gossip girl until 3 AM.

Last week I worked 73 hours. Same this week. Same next.

I'm happy. I'm tired. I'm blogging.
