Yard Sale, Take 1

This is my poor yard sale. It rained ALL DAY! (Except now, the sun is so bright now...) Christie and I debated on canceling but I said I would rather set up in my house than cancel. I want this stuff GONE. So, we did set up inside...

This is one wall of stuff. I took another picture, but it's gone from my camera (sounds vaguely familiar...) There was stuff ALL OVER my dining room.


BUT, I didn't want people "casing the joint" to see what I had in my house that they could come back later and steal. Sooo, Christie and I put up a sheet in the hall to block the rest of the house from view. Too Funny.


Well, since we got rained out, Chris and I decided to try again next week. But neither of us have room to store this cra... wonderful stuff. Now it's in my dining room. I can barely walk through the door. Oh my. WARNING: The next three pictures are not for the weak hearted. I almost faint just thinking of it. I can't wait until next weekend.
Please, GOD, don't make it rain next Saturday! I MUST get this stuff sold.

Grease is the word!

Today, I got an email from Travelzoo. They were offering 50% off tickets to Grease the Musical! WooHoo! I totally bought two tickets for the Best Available, which was in the Grand Tier. There were NO floor seats left! This place is gonna be packed. I can't wait. The tickets are for next Sunday night.

For those of you who don't know Travelzoo, you should really make acquaintance. This is an awesome website that sends weekly airfare, vacation, show deals. I've been upgraded to a VIP and that's how I got these awesome tickets! Go to travelzoo.com and sign up. It's free. BTW, I'm totally NOT getting paid to do this. I really think this is an awesome site and you should try it.

Yard Sale

Good morning, readers! Christie and I are planning a yard sale for tomorrow... Apparently it is going to rain. Oh well, I gotta get rid of all this cra.... great stuff! So come on by!

I'll let you know how we do later.

Overdose

I think I may have overdosed tonight at dinner. I'm feeling a little woozy and lightheaded. My eyes are sensitive to light AND sound! I don't even know how that happens. My eyes literally started watering when a loud commercial came on tv.

What did I OD on? ...caffeine! I haven't had caffeine in a while. I've been drinking a ton of water and an occasional sprite, but no caffeine. Well tonight, I met Carrie for dinner and decided I deserved a sweet tea. Well, at this particular Mexican restaurant you can take one sip of drink and they come to refill. I have no idea how much tea I actually drank. I do know that I took a cup to go and drank a lot there. I seriously think I overdid it. My body is in shock!

I still think I deserved it... I had choir rehearsal today after school that ends at 4:00 p.m. I was still there at 5:00 p.m. waiting on a parent to come get her child! When she finally got there, she blamed the fifth grader for not reminding her that she had choir. Helllllloooooo!!!! She's 10! AND I gave every parent a schedule of rehearsal dates so they would know ahead of time when we had rehearsal... I'm sorry, parents, don't blame your forgetfulness on your kids. AND don't lie to my face and tell me you didn't know the child was at choir until 4:15 p.m. when we called to see where you were,especially when the child called to remind you during school... (It helps to be friends with the secretary in the school office. She can tell you these little gems of info). Anyway, I'm sending a little note home tomorrow telling parents to look at the schedule I sent home and make plans to come get their child on Thursday afternoon... We'll see how much flack I get from parents when the letter goes home.

Anyway, have a great night and weekend!!!

I.V. of O.J.

I am SICK again!!!! What is going on here? I was well all summer (YAY!) and then I go back to school and NOW... SICK! I was not able to get in to see the Dr. but the nurse asked what my symptoms were and I told her. Apparently it didn't sound like the flu because the Dr. prescribed a Z pack, which is an antibiotic and will not touch the flu. My throat is soooo sore. It feels like a porcupine is shooting his quills through my throat. Blah.

On another note, Ryan's Memorial Fly-in was this weekend. His remote control airplane club hosted the 2nd annual event yesterday and today. I was able to attend yesterday. There was a wonderful tribute flight by two of the club members. Ryan's mom, Annette, has started a scrapbook of Ryan's life. She has done a beautiful job. It looks great just like it is, but she wants to add more. Chuck and Annette's nephew and niece came up for the fly-in. It was so good to see Brian, Krissie and the kids. The kids wanted Taco Casa for dinner last night, but Annette and I thought Dave's Dogs would be better :) Sooo, we decided to go to the mall food court where we could all get what we wanted (Dave's Dogs and Taco Casa are right across from each other). My chili cheese dog was DELICIOUS!! I just love Dave's. It truly is "all in the bun".

Thank God for long weekends because I definitely need some rest. Tomorrow, Bryan and I are smoking a boston butt. Yum Yum!
