here we go!

did i mention i've been forgetful?

eeps! i totally forgot about the giveaway so without further ado i would like to congratulate Always Joy for her bunting win! whoo-hoo! um, if you were wondering how the winner was selected, i just (as in a moment ago) asked mr. a-go-go to pick a number between 1 and 11 and he chose 2 so there ya go, we're sooo professional around these parts.

**Always Joy, i need yer address!

we've been pack, pack, packing our little hearts out and yet it feels as if the tiny casa were just as full as always. i have stacks of magazines i wish i could find a home for and more knick-knacks and tchotchkies than you could pogo a stick with. we leave saturday morning for a week up with family and then it is official lift off...yikes!

the week in review: april 19-25

cleaning, packing, garage sailing, job leaving...what a week!

this is the last week in the tiny casa...everything is in chaos and i'm beginning to feel butterflies with all this change...oof! today i run away from all the chaos to visit with stacey and drink coffee and eat pie and talk our silly hearts out. the rest of the week we will take care of errands, figure out where we're gonna bank, hit up chinatown for a bamboo cane, have snacks at the original pantry and squeeze in as many visits with friends as possible. if yer one of 'em. come by! visit! please! our schedule is all kinds of full but we'll be here at the casa pack, pack, packing away!

garage sale fun

it was fun! i even got to meet new flickr peeps. good stuff went to good people and the icky people walked away mad because i wouldn't haggle with 'em. just call me difficult.we made almost $400 and donated all the rest including some great vintage toys and such to Goodwill. it feels good to set them free and a little sad that i won't be bumping into them when i dig through boxes but really, when they have spent so much time in said boxes, what's the point...right?ms. janeray came and took away our sofa. i'm gonna miss that sofa. it is a very comfy bit of sqooshiness. now we have a very messy empty living room full of dust bunnies, broken down boxes and two camp chairs to nestle in.stacey, za and ander showed up with fixins' for a lemonade stand. we chatted and lunched and played with various musical instruments. one garage-saler even played us a tune she learned when she was small. after we hit up Goodwill, we visited with my eyeglass place so i can have an extra pair of eyes along for the trip. then, after that we drove around in circles until we settled on a burger joint we never tried where we enjoyed some good eats and split a rootbeer float.all i want to do is crash and take a nap. oh drats! now i REALLY miss the sofa! happy weekend!

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.
