Could it possibly be morning already?

I did about four too many things this weekend…and still missed out on some great things. There were parties I wanted to go to, people I wanted to see, and sleep I wanted to reconnect with…

The garage sale was great on Friday…Saturday, not so much. I am always shocked when I do any sort of event/sale type thing that Saturday is just not a good day to get a nice turnout. I’m not sure why that is, but I think I should know this by now and go with it. Is Saturday a great day for sales where you live? Here the big day is Thursday, then Friday…

I sold about an SUV load and a half, took a carload to Goodwill, and have about 2 more loads to account for now. Ugh. I took a picture, but it didn’t capture how GRAND the garage sale looked. You’ll just have to imagine it~ there was a LOT of stuff.

In between every crevice, we filmed the movie. Friday night, Saturday night, and tons on Sunday were filled with that and we’ll continue filming this week, until we have to return the camera. It’s going to be pure silliness, but there are times we wheeze, laughing so hard. I’ll tell you more about it when I’m not so groggy.

My brain still hasn’t woken up this morning.

There was also a little girl who had a funky temperature and sore throat. She’s doing much better, although I have a feeling her brain is going to take a while to wake up this morning too.

Of course, there are things like laundry and cleaning and taking care of other precious children that need to be done. Nate and the kiddos are hanging in there, but I’m going to owe them some extra loving care when this month is over.

My toes also need some attention.

And so does my closet.

It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane, It’s a Garage Sale!

May 14, 2010

This is where I’ll be today. Garage Sale! Will put a picture up on here in a little while so you can see it in all its GLORY!

There is SO much to tell you, I don’t even know where to begin. Have I told you I’m making a movie with my friend, Jonathan Thulin? We’re doing a mockumentary about a music competition. It’s called “Wildflower.” Sigh. I’m so excited about it. I’ve had a major ulcer over it, but today, I had so much fun that I’m fully excited now. We began filming this week and yesterday (thank the Lord for the rain!) we laughed until we hurt…I am playing Hazel AND Darcy Dunn.

Oh, the intrigue. I can’t wait to tell you more about it. It’s going to be so funny.

But. Today. Garage. Sale. Focus.

Say a prayer that I will sell many, many things so as to FUND this baby.

Ok, I can’t resist commenting on Casey sticking around for one more week. Were y’all surprised? I was just a little. He’s been in the bottom two the last few weeks…he probably was this week too, actually.

Want to know what I’ve been doing for the last 3 days…as well as last week? Getting ready for a GARAGE SALE. Ugh, remind me not to do another one. Ever. Again. Well…unless I make lots and lots of money. Then I’ll be doing it next week and the next and the next.

Woodbury, a large suburb not too far from me does a huge garage sale weekend every year and people come out by the droves. Tosh lives over there and so we have set up an outrageous sale in her garage.

It’s been freezing and raining and every night I come home and have to get in a steaming bath just to finally get warm. It is pure torture, folks.

Anyhoo. We’d hoped to start today, but it’s raining and a nippy 47. We’ve been discussing how different 47 feels when it’s rainy vs. sunny. The difference is vast.

So tomorrow is the day. If you live close, come visit us. We have some HUGE bargains, let me tell you. We’re located in the Stonemill Farms area. 3197 Arden. Tosh, please don’t kill me for telling people where you live. (nervous chuckle) No thieves read this blog, right?

We’re actually a little perplexed because one of her large tubs full of things has disappeared and it has actually come down to…did it get stolen or what??? Craziness. The missing tub. It’s a mystery.

I’ll keep you up-to-date by the hour if you’d like.

Stay posted on Twitter tomorrow for the full commentary.

I got a little too much sleep last night, can you tell? Like that’s possible! I feel like I have eaten my WHEATIES and I don’t even think I like Wheaties.

Oh, Lord, help me. I’m out.
