my crazy french grampa called me today to wish me a happy birthday, and apologize for being late in doing so, even though it's not my birthday until sunday. i didn't correct him because he seemed happy with the way things were, and he's pretty hard of hearing so it would be hard to convey all that anyways. our yard sale was a hit, nothing was left but a few boxes of garbage we later dumped at the good will donation center. we were all very happy with the good turnout and the weather. there was an advertised yardsale on a street that was near ours but hard to find, and we got all their traffic. we're exhausted, but rich and less cluttered up with junk.

i'm always cold now. it sucks ass. i've been enjoying fat free heavily salted pretzels all night and my lips are stinging. today is the big garage sale, and i'm hoping it goes well and everything sells so we don't have to do it again tomorrow.

there was a ridiculous video on mtv that was so silly it looked fake. the band was called deadsy and they were wearing weird rainbowy goth clothes and david bowie-esque make up. husband said he had an odd respect for the synthesizer, i laughed. it would be cool if mtv showed more interesting things like that. nobody has called about buying our washer and dryer even though we're not asking much for it. i hope somebody buys it at the yard sale because i hate husband's idea of snapping our spines in half getting the damn things in the truck then trying to sell them in bc. we wouldn't have anywhere to store them in the meantime so they'd be wet buckets of rust housing racoons and small woodland creatures in my mom's backyard. that hardly seems worthwhile to me. i purchased a small lot of my little ponies (3 unicorns and 1 fake jerk pony) on ebay for $8, one of which i had when i was little. i can't wait to go to value vilage (i can hear my mother cursing already) and the salvation army to comb through the toys for more. my blister keeps making wet dots on my pants.

last night i had a stomach ache and went to bed with the heat pad under my belly. It was set on low and covered with a pillow case but still managed to burn me. i have a little patch of blisters, surrounded by a larger patch of angry red skin. it's gross and sore. damn thing. we went to the store to get tabouli making stuff and i bought paul newman's own organic hot pretzels, they're really yummy!

i'm recapturing my lost childhood by collecting my little ponies. it's healthy. i promise. i'm also down 3 more pounds and now my weight actually charts on the fitday.com height/weight chart for my height. i'm now only dangerously obese, and not off the chart obese. lovely! all in all i'm quite happy and so is husband, he says i'm curvier and it's hot. rain and crappy weather has been plaguing us though i've managed to get some crap done. we're getting our money together and inching toward blast off time. i've been kind of lethargic and haven't had much to say...

we went to burger king for lunch and ate in the playland so the shrimp could play and there were these kids singing a song from the lion king except for they didn't know the word philosophy and they kept singing it's your problem free clostophely HAKUNA MATATTA and i thought how funny it would be if they changed it some more and then i heard it's your problem free COLOSTOMY and i laughed.

a lady that lived less than a 15 minute drive from my house won an auction for a set of my sushi magnets so i drove over and delivered them to her in person. she was very friendly and seemed happy to get them but it was definately odd and kind of awkward. i think i prefer the good ole' postal service to house calls.

i've been avoiding an entry lately. i removed the karma voting and clickthru $$$ link because i decided it was lame. now the comments are scooted off to the side and it looks funny. we spent all thursday and most of friday getting ready for a yard sale that never happened because of bad weather. thunderstorms decided we'd better hang on to our garbage for another week. it's been a combination of a sluggish progression toward getting ready, and procrastinating, and it wears me out. laziness feels so much better then having things to do.
