And the Lord spoke

God hates Garage Sales. I am convinced. There must be some commandment about "thou shalt not sell your things under a covering in your yard." there must be. After 3 tries, Maria and I threw in the towel. The first try, my sweet grandpa Don passed away. The second try, it monsoon-ed all morning, we set up late- had a man offer to buy our carport and that was about it. I stated I would NOT be bringing things back in our house- WRONG. I gave in. Decided to shoot for the next week, Maria had Friday off and we thought that would be perfect as rudy would be home too. Mid morning, tornadoes hit, neighbors tree fell in the yard, garage sale stuff flying around the yard, they packed up and came in. The clouds cleared about the time I got home and so I unpacked and reset up. (I know- I'm crazy...but gal darnit- I want this crap GONE). Not ten minutes after I set up, it started raining again. The neighbor just laughed. He's been trying to pour a concrete driveway too but same thing keeps happening to him- about the time the trucks show up, the rain starts. I have cried and cried. I have so much stuff in my living room it is litterally taking over the whole room...minus a walkway...its been that way for a month. I cannot stand it another moment. Tonight, I will set up a goodwill pile, and a consignment pile. This stuff WILL be out of here within the week. It stinks, I know some of what i have is worth selling (vaughns clothes etc) but there comes a point when 20 dollars is just plain not worth the work! I want my house back, I want to rearrange, redecorate.

I have also been in the works of painting the playroom. The plan? Sage green. The outcome? Army green. Its better than the bright baby blue in there now. Same color as the kitchen and its just  too.much.blue! Vaughn tells me "I dont like those pickle walls." But I think they are growing on her. Me too.

I have decided that I need a second job. Seriously contemplating doing daycare in our home after the wedding is over. Rudy will be able to add me to his insurance and I could make more money...this is an idea we have toyed with for sometime and I do think I would miss the adult interaction but Vaughn-elise is growing so quickly and is so impressionable at this point.  I want to cherish these last couple years before she heads out in the big world....AND, as mentioned, it would save us money.....and I can sacrifice adult conversation for some extra cash...easily. Thats what phones are for right?  Which by the way, mine has gone missing. Its been a week now...I am lost without it but rudy thinks we'll find it when we go through the garage sale stuff....we'll see.

I have also put an add on craigslist for my sister and I to do wedding photography. We'll see if we get any takers! This is one of the engagement photos amanda took of Rudy and I...I will add more as I get time.
