Saturday Evening Post

Get it?  I'm posting?  And it's Saturday evening?

*giggle*

Okay.  That's really the bulk of what I had to say.  Today was the City-Wide Garage Sale.  We put out a few things - very last minute - and made probably 10 dollars or so.  The big thing is that I sold my two couches.  [By "my" couches, I am referring to the beautiful, comfortable and soft ones I picked up second hand in Yuma, not the red ones from Josh's mom that have been in my living room for 7 years.]  I sold them for 5 dollars.  That's 5 dollars for BOTH.  Very sad.  The red ones are gone, too.  After the "sale", Josh took everything remaining and donated it. 

I sat all day in the shade on my favorite couch [half farewell gesture, half to accommodate the lady who bought them, but whose husband wasn't off work yet to collect them] drinking hard cider.  I had sunscreen on, but got a terrific sunburn.  Literally.  It's terrifying.

For lunch, we got Chinese and ate it picnic style in the driveway.  Fun.  The kids had a great time shopping in their own toys, and then Josh let them spend 50 cents each across the street, not knowing they had a box marked "FREE TOYS".  Hee hee.

Taiko practice tomorrow, then PR meeting.

By the way.  I finished Water For Elephants.  It was quite brutal, but had likable characters, hate-able characters, tension, reality and fun.  Plus, I loved the ending.

Hope you are having a great weekend.  Couldn't ask for better weather!
