it’s ebay time again…
Thursday, May 17th, 2007so much to do…
Thursday, April 19th, 2007i’m hoping gage decides he wants to nap.? i can’t clean the living room while he’s awake — he throws a fit when i pick anything up (since the bulk of what’s scattered around the room are his crayons, video cases and toys).? he was half passed out a few minutes ago, and then he decided it’s time to play again.
i also need to do more ebay listing.? doing it with gage about is difficult.? he decides he wants the things i’m trying to sell.? i was going to list a frog candle holder, and gage took it before i could, to use as a personal cup holder. ? eh, he can have it.? it’s cute seeing him carry that around the house w/ a sippy cup in it.? also gotta label a few things for shipping from the last round.? waiting on some shipping supplies.? blah.
don’t think we’re walking up to 7-11 today.? he’s coughing and retching a lot.? he also won’t let me put pants on him.? it’s hard enough to get a pull up on him today.? trying to put pants on him has gotten me kicked in the face twice.? fortunately i saw it coming, so he just kinda clipped me.
like my blog? buy me a coffee.poison, luis royo, and some other stuff…
Tuesday, April 17th, 2007the time has come for ebay auctions round 2.? this is just what i’ve listed today.? i plan to do more tomorrow, including some jewelry (i have a lot of pewter pendants) and a frog candleholder.? i might list some candles again in pairs, groups, lots, etc.? the last batch of auctions actually earned almost enough to pay the phone bill.? which rocks muchly, we need the dough very much badly.? which is part of why the listing frenzy.? so do a girl a solid… bid early bid often and buy things from me

nightmare before christmas
Sunday, April 15th, 2007gage is on a nightmare before christmas kick again.? not that i’m complaining.? i love the movie.? i think it’s great the he enjoys it so much.? he even sings along to the songs, which is cute as hell.? last night he was walking around the living room saying “careful my precious jewel.”? it cracked me up.
doing a marathon run of laundry today.? since i went over a week with no laundry soap.? utilizing the nice weather and the clothes line for drying.? everything will of course get a fluff in the dryer later so it’s not so stiff…
i need to start going thru stuff for ebay selling round two.
like my blog? buy me a coffee.quite a bit of random…
Saturday, April 14th, 2007gage needs shoes.? all his shoes are either too small or about to be too small.? except for his snowboots, but he can’t be running around in those in the summer, lol.? gotta get him some new sneakers and sandals.
got his IEP progress report yesterday.? he’s making progress.? this is good.? he’s also going on a field trip next week, wee.? i don’t join them on field trips.? as much as i would love to, it’s not a good idea.? gage wouldn’t let me leave when it was time for me to go home… that’s why i haven’t visited his classroom except to pick him up early once or twice.
i’m working on putting together the second round of stuff to list on ebay.? this lot will include some of gage’s old summer clothes, stuff he’s outgrown that can’t even be used for play clothes.
i have a tremendous craving for a nice seafood feast… some crab legs… shrimp… clams… scallops… maybe a few mussels.? mmm.? or lobster.? lobster would be good.? we did a cool seafood feast back in october i think it was…? we each had a shoulder of crab legs, 2 medium sea scallops, 4 extra large shrimp… i think there were also a few clams.? i don’t remember.? i do remember that i did something different with each… steamed the crab, rubbed the shrimp w/ cayenne before cooking it… rubbed garlic on the scallops and seared them in butter… numminess all around.
so i’m reading dragon wing by margaret weiss and tracy hickman… it’s alright. it’s just not grabbing and holding my attention.? it grabs it and then it lets it go again.? over and over again.? not sure i’ll ever read anythign else in this series.? but i’ll finish this one.? i’m sure there are people who are huge fans of the deathgate cycle who just can’t get into dragonlance, which i happen to love (also by margaret weiss and tracy hickman).
need to go to the store today.? maybe walmart, too.? gotta get a lot of shipping supplies for the stuff that sold.? need to find a box that will fit the isis dagger… the wall mount is about 21″ long.
like my blog? buy me a coffee.and it snows some more…
Friday, April 13th, 2007BLAH i say.
don’t get me wrong.? i love snow.? i really do.? the first snow of the fall/winter is really special to me.? i love watching it fall, i love the way it swirls, i love the way the sunlight glitters off of it.? and i don’t even mind that it starts snowing in october here.
but snowing in april?? come one.? i’m done.? i need a break.? it better not start snowing until thanksgiving this fall.? i’m serious.? too much snow.? snow snow go away, and all that jazz.
the first round of ebay auctions has almost completely ended.? not a bad gain from that particular “run.”? once everything is paid for and shipped we’ll probably have made enough for a phone bill payment.? gonna dig thru more stuff this weekend and do another round of ebay listing.? eventually, i want to be able to get the stuff out of the attic and go thru it.? my big plan is to cut the “clutter” by at least half.? and if i can make a little cash along the way… well that’s always a good thing.
gage is cute… he re-discovered the vcr last night.? he put in nightmare before christmas.? this morning, on the way out the door to go to school he noticed the tape sticking out of the vcr and he pulled it out and put it on top of the vcr.? not sure what made him do that.
like my blog? buy me a coffee.it’s late and i’m rambling…
Saturday, April 7th, 2007so it’s midnight-thirty or so… and here i am.? i should swig some nyquil cough and go to bed.? i will very soon.
i’m just sitting here thinking about money.? being poor and all.? i do payperpost entries in my other blogs, tho they have a low page rank so with the new system i don’t make much money that way.? when i started out with payperpost i probably averaged $150-$200 a month.? i’ll admit i’ve done several ppp opps just for the money, but i do take the time to check out the website in question.? i do take the time to add a personal “slant” to the posts.? it’s not like i write exactly the number of words needed for the opp and just “glide my way thru.”? anyhoo, now i’m averaging about $75 a month.? which is still nice, but now it doesn’t even cover 1 bill.? at least before i could have gotten a bill paid with what i made.
not that i did that.? i went a little nuts when this money started coming in… see, for 5 years i haven’t had any income of my own.? i’ve depended on woody.? which means that while woody has always said that the money is “ours” it never felt that way.? i never had a problem buying things for the household or paying bills or getting stuff gage needed.? but when it came to “selfish spending” on me… my only indulgence has been bath and body works — and we always hit good sales on that stuff.? bubble bath and body spray.? i’ve only purchased clothes, shoes, etc for myself when we’ve gotten bonuses or income tax refunds and then… usually it was with much encouragement and pushing from woody.? so, when i started getting payments from payperpost… i went a little nuts.? i bought a bunch of stuff on ebay.? and it just made no sense, except that i finally felt like i COULD waste a little money on myself…
so now i’m doing the payperpost thing, as much as i can… i’ve also submitted some stuff to associated content, which isn’t bad.? i’ve probably earned about $125 in the past 2 months from them.? the problem is that i run out of ideas for articles.? i’ve also recently signed up on digital journal, which is news centered.. and i’ve earned about $10 so far, but it doesn’t pay out until the beginning of the month.? so the first week of may i should get paid by them, and hopefully by then i’ll have quadrupled my earnings, at least.? there’s also stuff a friend, but i haven’t sold any of those yet.? i’m hoping that if i keep promoting it, i’ll get some sales/business.
i’ve applied at alpine access.? i’m waiting on the results of my recorded phone audition.? here’s hoping.
and i’ve been listing things on ebay… hoping to earn enough to at least put a dent in the phone bill or the electric bill or something.
ziggy is bitching at me.? so i think it’s time for bed.

Saturday, March 31st, 2007avs game today. an absolutely must win game, as the rest of the games on the season are. i’m excited.
gage is very cute. incredibly, in fact. i was just putting him in the shower and he started rubbing his head. so i asked if he wanted to wash his hair. and he said “wassa hair” which i assume is wash your hair. so after he got good and wet i grabbed his shampoo and lathered him up. the problem comes when he moves away and it still needs to be worked into his hair. i had to change my shirt and now one side of my head is decidedly wetter than the other, lol.
got a money order for a candle yesterday. i need to find a suitable box for to mail it in. also did some listing/re-listing the other day. added the jasmine candles to the bunch. they’re nice. not just the scent, but the cups they’re in are pretty awesome. hopefully they’ll sell, along with the rest of the candles i have listed.
tiger has become obsessed with licking his paws again… looks like he’s going to have to have the balm/sock treatment again soon.
mystery, alaska is on. good movie. as hockey movies go, it’s no slapshot (but really what is? certainly not slapshot 2, lol). the thing i love most about it is that the underdog doesn’t win. the team everyone expects to lose still loses. but they put their best effort on the ice, i like that. because let’s face it, in any sport no matter how well you play, no matter how hard you try you don’t always win.
like my blog? buy me a coffee.lol
Sunday, March 25th, 2007oh i have lost my damn fool mind.? forgot my username for my blog, lol.? hows’ that for ridiculousness?? yeah.
gage is eating an apple that’s about half the size of his head.? it’s funny as hell.? he turns it and turns it and turns it and picks a spot to bite.? then he chews the apple off the peel and spits the peel out (on a plate).
he ate some ice cream last night.? he’s only done that once before… he took an ice cream cone from me last summer.? last night he used a spoon and a bowl.? it was SO cute.? i got some pictures.
avs play tonight, should be a good game.? i look forward to it.? might make something groovy for dinner.
today’s to-do list:
- clean the kitchen
- do laundry
- straighten/vacuum the living room
- ? make a quick run to the grocery store
i’ve started working on changing my habits a little… to keep the house neater.? it’s gonna take some getting organized tho.? i might go thru the stuff behind the couch today and pull out stuff to list on ebay.? getting rid of stuff we don’t want/need anymore will hopefully open up some space and help me get organized.? if i can make some progress today, maybe i can do some re-arranging i’ve been thinking about… that would be a good thing.
