garage sale a-go-go

everyone keeps telling me they wish they could come to the garage sale. i'm not sure why though. do you really think i would sell such niftiness? sure, there will be some vintage, some new books, some old, happy clothes, fun dishes and a leetle bit o' kitsch but did you really think i could part with treasures such as these? (and yes, there is a lot of dust kicking around the tiny casa)if yer localish, do stop by. we a-go-gos like the company and would love a hug, a coffee or a coke or a slurpee or a banh mi...

i've been very forgetful today

*spent far too long on the phone trying to figure out how to get my meds while we're on the trip.*took pretty morning pictures when i meant to take my meds. took me two hours to remember to take them. the meds, not the pictures.*i never got to finish my coffee. *dishes got washed but the bathroom did not get cleaned.*i did manage to put the ironing board away. i really should have boxed up all the stuff and junk on the kitchen table and schmunked more in garage sale boxes but when i went outside to throw some trash away i was swayed by the garden and hung out there instead.

this morning

there is (as always) MUCH to be done before we head out on the BIG road trip. we're having a garage sale this saturday which still needs to be filled with garage sale stuff which means i have to scavenge through the chaos to see what i can part with...not fun when yer not supposed to be inhaling dust or anything. mister's last day of work is friday which means he's at work all day and doesn't particularly cotton to cleaning and rooting in the casa. but then again, there is so much chaos, it is hard not to want to get it all done. makes for cranky times and cranky times are not fun. i'm also trying, trying, trying to squeeze in last minute visits with all m'friends. gosh, i'm gonna miss you folks, yer all so swell and grand. i'm hoping that the garage sale will be a stand in as a going away party as i have no time at all to plan one and kinda secretly always wanted a party planned FOR me, ya know? we leave the casa in ten days. eeps! and since there is so much to do, i decided to chow done on a pretty breakfast of pumpkin muffin and hot ginger milk and then i decided i should take the dress dummy out to the garden and photograph it, why yes, i must. wouldn't you?

just for fun

in celebration of my breathing again, the packing up of the casa and the BIG road trip, how's about a little giveaway? nothing spectacular mind you but leave a comment here if you would like to decorate yer casa with my junk mail picado. it's all wrapped up and ready to go....i'll pick the winner first thing friday morning.

this is mister's last week at work, i need to hightail it over to urgent care and make sure i'm doing EVERYTHING i need to be so i can be healthy on the trip. on the phone, three docs told me i'm doing everything right but after four weeks of crying in the middle of the night because i am sooooo tired and can't breathe, i'm REALLY hoping there is something we're missing. this is the third time i can remember feeling this awful for this long and i cannot remember what i did to get better. bah!
