I Have Been Busy

But what I have accomplished...well, that remains a mystery.

Monday I made venison goulash and lemon bars and did power yoga. Since it was after December 1, Goodwill took my Christmas tree donation.  I had a large one and DH a large one when we married.  I donated them couple years ago.  This house had a fairly large one left in the attic.  I am going to find a really slim one.

I decided to duck in and take a look at shoes.  I found several nice brands, no or very light wear.  I bought 6 pair for $45.  I listed 3 for over $100.

I set up spreadsheet for my 2 consign projects.  I am selling for 2 disabled people and just taking expenses and 10%.

Tuesday we had to go to other side of county.  I popped in another.   Bingo.  I found Stuart Weitzman,  Lucky Brand,  Vince Camuto,  Cole Haan, Merrell, Nine West...basically perfectly condition.  Guess I will see if I can make some fun money.  I spent $15 on 3 more jeans and $40 tues.  My outlay is now $100.

I paid one client his $100 for 6 pair of jeans I sold.  He was pretty happy.  And gave me another pair...of Levi's with tags still on them.

Jeans are $5 and shoes $4 (and go on up) at Goodwill.  I sold a bunch over the weekend...and not a darn thing since!

I am currently working on updating photos.   I made a very amateur "light box" with a light and filter to help my photographs.  Cross your fingers!

Dec 3 was take a walk...I will do tomorrow.   Was too cold yesterday and too busy today. Dec 4 call someone you love.  I called my Granny.

Today was clear your room or desk of clutter.  That's already done.  Tomorrow is take a social media sabbatical.   I will even stay off my phone tomorrow.   Be back here Friday!

Have a great Thursday!

Post Thanksgiving

I just love Thanksgiving, because it is all about getting with family and thinking of our blessings.  It is not as stressful and the expectations as high as Christmas.  I seem to have more conflicted memories and sadness associated with Christmas, mostly because of the people who I miss who have passed before me and because I am sad that I don't have children.  I would have made an awesome grandma.

We had a great Thanksgiving.  We went to the facility where my grandmother (DG) lives and had a lovely lunch with her and my aunt (PA).  Then we drove to our retirement house (RH) and got there about 6:30 and unloaded the car and went and said hello to DH parents.  We went to football game the next day with my sister, it was so much fun!  Then Sat we hung out with DH family.  There are not a lot of children in DH family, just 2 nieces and 2 nephews.  The 2 nieces were there, so that was fun spending time with some young people. 

We had too much food and so many laughs.  We took some photos.  We had a great time.  I am so lucky to have married into such a wonderful family.  I hope you are having a wonderful Cyber Monday.  The only things I bought for black Friday and Cyber Monday were things I needed for the house (a Pampered Chef order and literally a Walmart supplies order).  I have mostly finished what limited shopping I do for the holidays.  My DH retirement gift I bought him we agreed no more Christmas gifts for a few years! 

I did pick out pieces of estate jewelry (more on that later).  I brought home a few leather pieces from my Sister In Law's MIL estate to help sell on line.  I sold a couple more things and so that is good to get anything moved out.  That's about all for today!
