Up and at 'em!  It's another beautiful day here in CT.  Sun is shining and I think it's supposed to hit 70.  I hope you have nice weather where you live.

I think I'll head out to a tag sale or two this morning.  Not too many ads on Craigslist in my immediate vicinity, but one of them looked somewhat promising.

Finally got seven shoe listings done yesterday and I hope to do some more later today.  DH is heading out right now to meet up with a whole crew of others at our church for an annual event where they work on a few pre-planned construction/painting projects to help out some places in need.  Last year they rebuilt a deck and did a lot of painting to spruce up a group home for special needs adults as one of their projects.  So, he'll be out of the house until this evening.  Haven't had the house to myself for a full day in eons and I'm looking forward to it.

What are you up to today?

My weather is the same in PA. Gorgeous!

Leaving in about an hour to watch Grandson Jaxson, aged 3, play soccer. Then will hit a few garage sales.

I wish they didn't all close down so early-around 1-2:00. But maybe that is a good thing, since I am broke as usual.

Supposed to be a beautiful day here (finally!) so DH and I are doing some much needed yard work. Will just re-list some stuff later.

Have a great day everyone!!

Happy World Naked Gardening Day!

No, really - it's a thing. <-- no nekkid bodies in this link

I would celebrate, but we're inspecting our beehives this afternoon -- "naked beekeeping" doesn't have the same appeal.

Went to the promising tag sale and got a black wood wide screen TV stand with some open shelving underneath on one side and a glass door on the other side. We still have a big old TV in an armoire in our bedroom and just last week I told DH I'd start looking around for something else to put in the corner and then we could buy a flat screen. He was getting impatient because I hadn't started looking yet. I only like thrift shopping and can't stand having to shop for something in real stores. LOL.

Anyway, I think this will fit the bill perfectly, but even if I find something else I like better somewhere down the road, since I only spent $20 on it, it's no big deal.

Also got a shoebox filled with buttons for $3 as well as one of those frames with photo clips hanging on a line under the glass. It holds five pics and will be perfect for subtly displaying some of the wedding pics somewhere. It's new in box and cost $3, as well.

A beautiful day here in TN. Gorgeous sunshine and a high in the low 70's. Went to a huge church yard sale and a neighborhood sale this morning already. Now off to do errands with the DH. Have a wonderful day everyone!

I'm trying to keep myself from shopping. I'm drowning in stale inventory. I can't seem to get motivated to list any of it today.
I typed out 3 listings then I gave up.

Instead, I scrubbed the kitchen down and picked up the house/took out the trash/recycling and cleaned the main floor bathroom. I've also been on pinterest learning how to make my own window cornices. I want to get this living room done and over with that we've been working on for...oh...9 months now.

I want to get the living room hardwood floors waxed in a bit too.

DH and DS are going to see a movie today. I think I will drop them off and get a mani/pedi while waiting.

Going to be 90 today so I'm trying to get stuff done in the yard early before it heats up too much.

I have my helper today so we should get a lot done. Need to wash and fill the hummer feeders, fertilize the tomatoes, weed the garden, water shrubs, plant some basil I decided I just had to have, and reposition some solar lights. And the real fun will be washing all the litter boxes.

Then I'm just going to relax indoors and enjoy the Derby and catch up on my HULU queue.

Beautiful day here in south Texas. Looks like nice today and tomorrow and then rain all next week. Really strange weather for us this year but we need the rain.

Getting ready to take Savannah to her new home.

Hope to finish up some yard work when I get back as next week looks like indoor stuff will be on the list.

Gorgeous, partly sunny day here so far...it's supposed to hit 85 F today & tomorrow. UGH, if it's humid.

Other than that, I've got a few hours to kill before we head out for some R & R time and watch the Derby later.

I think I'll list a few items. 

Three sales so far today. 

Hope y'all have a great day!

Working today at the FT job. It is gorgeous today too here on Long Island. Will just have to enjoy it looking out the window (I do have a nice view) while I finish up the weeks paperwork. Hope to take some pics of the swimsuits I picked up last week later today when I get home. They're easy to photo and list, so that will make me feel productive eBay-wise today.

[Emerald_Door]

Wow, everyone is so active and productive today! Am I the only one who's sitting here like a lump?

[RetroMonde]

Gonna be a busy day- ard & garden work for me (us) after I finish setting rivets on an apron pocket, pack a few things to ship and wander over to an estate sale or 2. DH is going to get our weed-eater/mower working so we can mow the parts of the yard that got away from us. Then my sister & I are going to hack our way thru the blackberries into the garden. After not gardening AT ALL last year, the area is a fright. Hopefully when I finally collapse in front of the tv tonight I'll have enough energy to do a few listings.

Bye bye Savannah (I know, she's going to a good home, but still…)

Just printed out some labels, so I'll pack and go by the PO before 4:00 today. I'm going to pull stuff I want to list, get the pics ready, then go measure/list in batches of 5 today.

But first, another cup of coffee. I suppose I could multi-task, and drink that second cuppa while I'm pulling inventory.

[kritter]

Well, if Savannah and I don't like the vibe when we get there, we are walking right back out the door.

She has blossomed into an amazing kitteh and deserves the best home ever.

Beautiful weather here too. Just got home from a big grocery shopping trip and GW. Got most of the groceries put away. Need to clean up the kitchen then start processing the new invo. And laundry. Planning on taking the girls (fur babies) for walk this evening. Hopefully get it done before the bf gets home from working. We need to do his EOM invoicing. Also need to get some listings up tonight for the 310 challenge!

Okay, now I'm starting to ramble, and I need to get to work, lol.

Exhausted! Went to watch Jaxson, 3 play soccer exercises. When he saw me, he ran right up to me and said "Gum-Gum, lets go dig up some wormies" tee hee.
He was the only child running around the exercise areas and not waiting in line...

Then I hit several sales and only spent $16, but have a ton of stuff now, that I don't need. Now I am totally dragging, but have to get out to mow again.

TG, I have a lawn tractor.

I did alot of cooking and house stuff. I made a yummy lemon cake that is almost gone. Heading in the kitchen for round two soon.We had a community yard sale today and for the first time in a long time I shut my doors and didn't go out!
 I need a short Ebay break. I take them often. I am actually pretty angry over the "paying for auctions" policy. So technically I am punishing myself by not listing for a few days, even though I think I am punishing Ebay! LOL

I did a lot this morning - re-organizing inventory, pulling items to photograph. Took a break to enjoy the sunshine. Friends stopped by and it ended up as a wine drinking, sun worshiping afternoon. Maybe after a quick nap I can get some listing done. It was fun though! I needed a break.
