My Yard Sale

We had a garage sale today. Tony found a loving home for his bowflex. They were so excited to get it, and we were so excited to get rid of it! I re-homed my double jogging stroller (sold it for the $20 I bought it for)....and lots of other little things: talking potty chair that scared my toddler, the less sturdy of my 2 child-sized rocking chairs, shelves that I haven't put up in 6 years (and 4 houses), and some baby clothes. I'm not getting rid of all of my baby clothes, because I'm just not there yet. I'm just whittling them down to a good starter-set.

Part of me is still hoping Tony will let me have more kids...even though it makes me feel a bit like Veruka Salt with her pets (You know, from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - the new, funnier one). "All I have is an Anthony, a Sofia, an Annika, a Jonny, a Boo, and silly old Cozette (who is stinkin' adorable)!"

...but I digress....anyhow, I made over $300 at my garage sale (that's counting the $150 I saved by having a garage sale instead of going to Evil Old Navy)...and I got a sunburn...but it was worth it.

On a sewing note: You may have noticed that I've been piecing all of my stuff on my seger lately. That's because my Kenmore and Sofi's Hello Kitty Janome are at the local sewing machine spa. They demanded some well-deserved R&R. They threw fits and fussed about it until I gave in.

...and I'm hoping that, when mine comes back, it will run like a brand new machine...because I suspect this stay is going to cost as much as a brand new machine!
