Movin' On...

Have fun in Chicago! I hear the pizza is the best.

Yeah we will have to get some deep dish while we are there. All you chicagoans, do you have a favorite place to get pizza?? My son's favorite food...

Just closed up shop on Day #1 of the sale. My sister made $53.25 and I made $70.50. Add that to the $80 I made the other night when the yard sale stalker came and bought a ton of nathan's clothes, and I have hit my goal of $150!! So tomorrow's profits will just be gravy...

Well it just downpoured to end the afternoon, had to drag tables frantically into the garage. Found out I have the best neighbors though. The one across the street told me I could park in her drive during the sale to leave room on the street for shoppers (and the sale was set up in my driveway).

Then during the downpour my next door neighbor came over and he threw a tarp over all the tables I hadn't managed to drag in! Aww! I returned the favor by answering his question. He was replacing the brake lights in his car and wanted to know "what those white lights are for"...Ummm that is when you are in reverse...He said, "Oh, good, I will put it in reverse and you can tell me if they light up." First time I have EVER known more about a car than a guy!

So now time to decompress. Thanks to downpour too wet to mow. Besides I mowed front/sides yesterday to look good for the sale! Think I will nap as it is good napping weather, gray and overcast. Then I may book a massage since I have a membership and get one 'free' every month. After being up till 3:30 on Weds/Thurs and 2:45 last night, I need to relax!

Oh and funny/coincidental. After I was all mopey last night, I got a text from Dan at 2:20 a.m.! "we are checked in to (motel name) in Harlan" (town outside state park where they were going to camp. I replied, "Oh, is it raining there?" He replies, "Yeah the world is about to unload on us." Then "Big storms coming." I just replied "Well hope for sun tomorrow".

What timing, he has them on a 3 day vacation and it rained last night and rained again today...I actually want them to have fun though. No one likes a bummer vacation. Granted he could order in pizza and a movie or take them swimming at the Y and they'd be happy...
