Self Portrait Sunday for January 25, 2009
I’ve had a garage sale again this weekend - the third weekend in a row. Tired of that already, but I’ll do it again next weekend too (probably) because I’ve managed to get rid of a substantial portion of my clutter and I’ve made a few bucks each weeknd. It was slow today, though, so I was able to get some painting done between customers. I painted three sides of the pickets for the deck along the left side of the house - the part of the deck that extends into Lance’s yard. I’ll try to paint the side facing the deck tomorrow. Right now I Have a different priority - I need to go visit the other Self Portrait Sunday participants.
That’s what I did today - just the white pickets, not the gray deck and rails. Those will be painted after I’m through with all the pickets.
This is tomorrow’s assignment. I’m hoping to turn the corner and start working my way across the front of the house.

I feel you on the painting. We’ve been doing it the past few weeks. Best of luck with the continued yard sales. The last time we had one we made no money at all ;_;

Ah yard sales… the extra money and the dejunking are nice, but man, they’re a ton of work.

Hi Bess! I just saw your article on BlogHer and thought I’d check in. But of luck selling your home. It took us nearly a year to get ours sold - so I feel your pain.

Yard sales can be a pain in the but, but you can get a good amount of money for your stuff most times. I also wanted to let you know that you have been “tagged”. I do hope you will play along

I’m finally done with the yard sales, Ami-chan. There’s more stuff that could be sold but I just don’t have the time to deal with it, so what’s left is going to the charity truck.

The new bathroom is so pretty that I’d like to take it with me, Karen!

Too much work Jennifer! I’m donating most of what’s left to charity so I can have the carport space for some furniture that needs selling. There was just no place outside to display it before and now I’m rumming out of time!

Mahalo, Lee, an mahalo for staying in touch while I didn’t have a connection! It was good of you to let me know you noticed I was missing!

Hey Em … SMOOCH!

Aloha Karen, and mahalo for dropping by! Sure hope my home doesn’t take that long to sell because I won’t have any money to live on until the sale closes! Fingers and toes are firmly crossed!

I made pretty good money with the garage sales, SocialFrog. I’m moving some furniture outside later today or tomorrow so buyers can see it, but the clothes & houshold goods that didn’t sell will be going on the charity truck soon.

Aw, Jade! You’re just too sweet to be hanging around worrying about an old fogey like me … but mahalo for doing it!
