It was a very busy and exhausting weekend. But lucrative, too. Can’t complain. Friday night I stayed in to get everything ready for the garage sale. Then we got up bright ‘n’ early to get everything set up. Of course it was about 90 degrees and 3394930% humidity. Anyway, the sale was a big success for me – we netted $111. Okay, so I was unable to resist two items, but they were very good buys…a light shade for a dining room light I’ve been wanting (they retail for $50, I got it for $10) and a beautiful ’50s or ’60s retro-modern sort of IKEA-ish cabinet. Ooh, here’s a picture of said cabinet:

Nice, yes?

So after that, I was pretty wiped out. Just spent the rest of the evening relaxing. I was a bit sunburnt too.

Sunday morning we got up bright ‘n’ early again to work on the yard. I’d post pictures, because yes, I did take before and after pictures of our yard (unmown since July) but really, it’s just grass. It was long, now it’s short. Like my hair. Har. But terribly exciting to me, nonetheless.

After we were done with that, I went to visit Ren and Gary and Alison and Ren’s cousin and her husband and baby and friends and cousins and all that fun stuff. Good times. Alison and her cousin Allee are too cute. My favorite part of the evening? When Alison had angel food cake, whipped cream and strawberries in one fist, and mini beef ravioli in the other hand. And she was taking turns shoving one or the other in her mouth. Reminded me of that episode of Friends, remember the one, you know, the one where Rachel made the trifle/shepherd’s pie? Good times. Ahh, the Friends.
