Cleanin' House

Here are some pictures of what the best friend and I do when we have a yard sale.

We take pictures. And we play. And sometimes, we get rid of stuff.
(Warning: These pictures do not actually portray ANYTHING yard sale related.)

We take pictures of shoes.


We take pictures of best friend.


(and my Evelyn Rose)


We take pictures of my kids.




We take pictures of her kids.








Mainly, yard sale days are FUN DAYS!!!

So, now you know why I have been M.I.A. lately. This pretty much brings you up to speed!

See you all soon!


P.S. Linkin' up.

Giveaways, Garage Sales, and Unfinished Chores

I've been MIA the past few days due to some big happenings.

1. Hubby passed his certs to become a firefighter. I am so proud of him. We HAD to celebrate. We went out ALL BY OURSELVES for the first time since Evelyn was born ELEVEN months ago! Billy Ann's was delish as always.

2. Garage Sales. Friday and Saturday are my bargain hunting days. Friday, my deal of the day were these cuties:

Emma Claire claimed the pink one IMMEDIATELY, so Evelyn was stuck with the green. Personally, I think Ev made out better.

Also got these beauties:

Perfect for my terrariums.
Here's a random tidbit. Ball Glass Works was located in Muncie, Indiana for 100 years before moving the company to Colorado a little over ten years ago. I live about 45 miles from Muncie. Who cares, right? Sorry, I got a little sidetracked.

Last but not least, one of these:

The Singer 1725. $10. No, I have NO clue how to use it. Yes, the instructions were included. And no, I don't live anywhere close to a Singer factory. But my in-laws do. About 50 miles from Singer HQ. Crazy, huh? :o) Again, no one cares, right?

3. Been busy getting some stuff around the house done.
To Do:
A. Compost Bin
B. Clothesline
C. Square Foot Garden (more details later)
D. Put up porch swing (Mother's Day gift)
E. Get that damn rabbit out of my house. Who in the heck thought that it would be a good idea to get a rabbit??? (Yes, it was mine.)
F. Get going on some landscaping

Thus far, the only thing crossed off of my list is letter "E". Hrmmm...By the way, did that last part of this blog remind anyone else of those stupid outlines you had to make in elementary school? And you wonder why I only have one thing marked off of this to do list. Dang adult ADD.

Okay, last note of interest:

So new...so improved

Well, you all will be glad to hear that I have the new blog up and running...Wait...You all?!?! I have one faithful follower. But, boy, am I glad for that one follower! Otherwise, I may feel like complete failure and this entire GORGEOUS (Yes, that was sarcasm) Sunday afternoon would have been a complete waste. Oh well. I suppose I ramble on and on for my own sake more than anyone else's. No offense, Ten. And I haven't even figured out how to post pictures in a blog yet! That will be tomorrow's task. As for the Peterson update, it was another lazy Sunday. I think that you know you are old when your favorite day switched from Friday to Sunday. I LOOOVE Sundays. They just have a completely different feel to them. You know? It's such a rest after the weekend. Speaking of weekends, this weekend was jam packed with good deals. I went to a few yard sales. The steals were a Barbie car that satisfied Emma's newfound love of all things Mattel and a crib set for Ev. Barbie Car: $1. Crib Set: $5. Love them both: Crib set looks great in the girls room, and Barbie car inspired those wonderful words that every mother loves to hear: "Oh, thankyouthankyouthankyou! I love you, Mama!" Music to my ears. Topped off Saturday with a birthday party (Happy Birthday, Little Jackson!!!) and a trip to Bummie's for a couple of Spanish Dogs. And you heard what I did today...NOTHING. Till next time...
