ebay Junkie & Weekend update

So with our lives changing I've turned to ebay to help us out. What can I say? I have the dreadful dentist bill coming up in a few weeks (which is not cheap) and then if I really want to get this laparoscopy and start clomid at the end of June, we've GOT to come up with a way to fund it. I used to collect Mary Moo Moo's, but haven't for quite some time. I didn't really have a place for them in our new house so they just sorta got thrown up on the wall in our laundry room. Then this past Christmas I won this awesome tapestry and didn't have anywhere to hang it up and decided that the laundry room was the perfect spot! Now what to do with the Moo Moo's? I didn't want to just store them in the attic, b/c honestly they would sit there forever, so I decided to try my hand at ebay. I was on the computer literally all night Friday taking pics of them, posting them, finding out what they were worth, etc. I have 31 Moos total, so it was not a quick job. I got them all posted shortly after 11 pm. What a relief that was. And to my surprise I had 3 different bids when I got up and checked Saturday morning. That made me happy. As of today, I have 11 different bids and SEVERAL watchers. I assume they will bid closer to date. I'm super stoked about this. So, if you or someone you know is interested in Mary Moo Moo's, Check this out! So after Eric saw how well this was going he started going through all of his comic books. We are contemplating either putting them on ebay or possibly taking them to a comic book place. He has a ton of X-men and a few Spiderman, plus some misc ones. Any suggestions?

Saturday we got up and worked out. We also ran a few errands. I spent the evening lounging on the couch w/ the doggies b/c Eric had a promo.

Yesterday I got up and had breakfast. Apparently it gave me a ton of energy b/c I started doing some major cleaning on the house and crossed a few things off my "To Do List". That was a good feeling. After that we headed to the mall. Eric had a $100 gift cert that he wanted to use on new shoes and I had a $25 gift certificate at Victoria's Secret that was not about to go to waist. :) Speaking of VS, they have a new bra that is in stores today. It's rather expensive and I doubt I will buy one til the price goes down, but it feels awesome. Its more like a summer bra w/ lightweight material all over and a little more coverage around the nip area so you don't "show through". I normally wear a little padding in my bras anyway so I don't have that problem. After we got home I did 2 loads of laundry and we picked up all of the sticks and limps in the back yard. They wouldn't burn b/c they were still on the wet side, but they are picked up for the time being and in a pile to burn later. I finally got a gardening fix. Not I'm anxiously waiting to get back out and do some major work around the house and definitely in my pond. In the next few weeks we will be getting the pond back up and running and it's going to take some work to get it back up to par. After making some things for my lunches this week I took a shower and relaxed on the couch and watched the Oscar's. Overall a nice, productive weekend. Of course this week is going to snow 4 out of the 5 days and who knows what the weekend will be like. We are supposed to make a trip to C'ville to drop off the weight bench we got sold on Saturday and then Eric's parents are coming over Friday afternoon. And Sunday the plan is to move the fish tank which will probably take up the majority of the day. Ugh. Not looking forward to that at all. Of course after we move the fish tank I have to do a major lceaning of the floors in the kitchen. That's probably worse than the move itself! I guess it will be a good upper body and rear workout though. ha ha
