Something that made me smile this week: Maddie made me smile quite a bit this week. For the most part, we had a great time together. It was fun to see her interact with her grandparents this weekend.
Something I’m thinking: I’m thinking non-stop about this charity yard sale, and I’m pretty sure most of this post is going to revolve around that.
Something I’m hoping: Obviously, I’m hoping that the yard sale is going to make a lot of money for the National MS Society.
Something happening around the house: Our garage quickly went from a two-car garage to a one-car garage and is now a no-car garage. Donations are still piled just about everywhere, but it is starting to get a little more manageable…well, not really, but we have made progress.
Something I’m reading: I finished My Sister’s Keeper and went back to reading The World Without End. I’m torn about reading things like that. I really don’t feel like I have enough time to read anything too long or complex.
Something tasty I ate this week: We went to a wedding at the Biltmore Estate this weekend, and our dinner was very good!
Something Maddie did this week: She stayed with her grandparents while we went to the wedding. We didn’t quite leave her overnight. We left for Asheville from Davidson while she was napping and returned around 1am. She had a lot of fun with Nana and Bapa and apparently didn’t ask for Mama or Dada even once!
Something happening with the pregnancy: I got some new maternity shirts since I didn’t have much need for short-sleeved shirts in the first pregnancy. This one is one month earlier, and I’m showing earlier relative to the first pregnancy, too.
Something I struggled with this week: Gathering, sorting, pricing.
Something I’m doing towards my goals: Working like crazy towards this yard sale for the National MS Society (getting closer to that goal of raising $100,000 for the NMSS – obviously, I have a long way to go). I also signed up for a photography class that starts this week.
Something I learned this week: I learned that some people may actually want to pay good money for a high end stroller that is 20 years old. We’ll see if we can actually find a buyer as we have two such items in our pile of donations.
Something I’m looking forward to next week: Having this yard sale behind us.
Something random: Gabe’s coming around on my favorite road game, 20 questions. For the longest time, he refused to play. The last few road trips, I’ve convinced him to play a round or two. It’s better with more people to brainstorm questions (and we don’t limit it to 20), but it’s still a good way to pass the time.
Something I captured: This doesn’t come close to describing the madness that is our house right now. Just one of the photos showing some of donation central.
