We Survived!


We survived another garage sale! I used to be a once- or twice-a-year garage "seller"; but the last 5 years I have slowed down a bit. After debating the last few weeks, I finally decided to go ahead with the spring sale. Park City does a city-wide sale in the spring and fall. We didn't have a lot of big items to sell, but I had a lot of books, some scrapbooking & stamping items, clothes and a bit of miscellaneous. Did pretty good too - sold quite a few books, and we didn't have much to sack/box up for Goodwill. The kids all worked last night, so Corby and I went to mom's and did her grocery shopping. I visited with her while Corby went to Long John Silver's and got her a piece of fish and 2 hushpuppies. That seems to be her favorite food right now! We had some running to do after we left mom's, then we stopped and grabbed dinner at Hog Wild BBQ. Kaitlin closed last night. That normally means she's done around 11, but she didn't get done until after midnight. Apparently they had about 30 people come into the lobby around 9:45, and not only did they stay until after the 10:00 closing, but they used up a lot of things that Kaitlin had already stocked. So she had to clean the lobby and bathroom, as well as re-stock everything! Corby waited up there for her - for an hour! I would have come home and told her to call when she was done, but it was a nice night, so he sat and dozed in the van!

We did our grocery shopping this morning, since we had such a busy day yesterday. The kids are all working this afternoon and evening; so I'm busy getting laundry done, bills paid, etc. Corby fixed a big salad for dinner! YUM! We don't often buy all the ingredients and make a salad, we usually buy bagged salad (for the convenience); but "the real thing" sounded so much better today! He is also fixing spaghetti and meatballs. Yes, I know I'm lucky that I have a husband who LOVES to cook!

The second picture I posted is of Sugar, our outdoor cat. She has a thing for our chimenea (sp?). This is a picture Kaitlin took of her last fall, hiding inside it. We keep it covered with a big yellow trashbag when we're not using it!

My music for today is Richard Marx - great songwriter and singer!

Isn't This Gross?

Corby lets Muffin drink out of his milk glass. Isn't that disgusting? I love animals, but I sure don't share my drinks with them. YUCK! Brandon will be home tomorrow - on his 19th birthday! His last final is at 12:30. Corby & Kaleb are headed up to help him bring his stuff home. I was planning on going, but because Hope is out on medical leave, I can't take off. That's okay - I really wasn't looking forward to carrying his stuff down 7 flights of stairs! YIPPEE - MY BABY IS COMING HOME FOR THE SUMMER! Does anyone else out there love "House Hunters" - the show on HGTV? For some reason, that show grabs me. I like to see the 3 houses the couples (sometimes singles) choose from. Of course, most of them have a lot more money than we do! Saw one last night that was a young couple in Chicago - lived in the inner city, but with 2 kids decided to move to the suburbs. Their goal was to find a house for under $1,000,000. That a million dollars folks! How can peop...

Terrible Day

I'm not going to go into a lot of detail here, but suffice it to say that I had a TERRIBLE day at work! I made a huge mistake costing the company some revenue, and I feel awful! I certainly didn't need anyone to get on my butt, because I was kicking myself for the better part of the day. I know, I know, I'm human, but this was a BIG human mistake! I hate to admit that I'm human! HATE TO MAKE MISTAKES - ESPECIALLY BIG ONES! Okay, that's it. I'm having a margarita and trying to relax now. I'm done with being human for a while!
