Here's the photos from the fence project
yesterday. It took about 2.25 hours to do.

Today is picture day with sooo many
pictures between the fence and DDn.

Here are the items I had gone through
that were in the truck. The only thing
I didn't get a photo of was of a
velour style blow up mattress.
Been wanting one of those for the
back of the truck so just kept it
in there. And to think the big move
out rush ain't til this weekend.
This here ain't nothing!!!
This will be fun because Tony
has on call this week.
They are also down a person at
his work due to one getting fired
last week. This is what happens
when you start acting like a 2 year
old throwing things. That guy had been there around
25-30 years! Was it really worth
getting fired???













Was even finding clothes that
still had tags on them,
never worn! Who buys clothes
and never wears them???









I also have a tote full of clothes
I kept.
There was some cute tops in there
I am hoping to be able to wear.
Along with many jeans & pants
I want to try on the kids and do
some hemming if need be.
One pair had pink embroidery on
the pockets that fit Jonathan perfectly.
I plan to take a black permanent
sharpie marker and color over the
pink areas so he can wear them.

10:15AM

Well looks like I got lots more
laundry to do today. Got some on
the line that's been there all night
that I need to take down soon then
start working on washing more
loads.

11:40AM

Well the tote of clothes I planned
on keeping is dwindling down.
I went through and started trying
on the clothes and found that
most do not fit.

Ya know sooo many people turn their
noses up to DDn. I don't give a crap!!
I am not the only one who benefits
from doing this, this time of year.
I help out other families also.
At the moment I am helping out
at least 4-5 other families that
have low income levels like us
that cannot afford to buy some of these
things that I find.
And ya know, we all get to sport around
our designer labels like everyone else
except we didn't pay the extravagant
prices, we didn't pay anything for them,
nah nah nah nah nah to those people
who do!! And no one knows any different.

TIP OF THE DAY

To avoid those charges from ATM machines
that aren't your bank, go to a store
and make a minimal purchase and
when it asks you if you would like
to get money back, click yes.
No fee for doing this!!!
ATM fees now range from $2 to $3
each time you use them!!
Hey at least you got something at
the store instead of losing out
on $2-$3 at the ATM machine.

What to get someone for a baby shower
that has pretty much everything
they need like furniture and clothes.

Think practical!

Buy everyday items they will use
such as:

diapers, ointment, powder, lotion,
wipes, shampoo, baby food, baby cereal,
bottles, nipples, pacifiers, bottle
brushes, teething rings.

I would not recommend any formula
because you never know what kind
the baby will need.

This is what I want to do for
possibly 2 upcoming baby showers.
So if you
might be attending the same baby
shower I am please don't take my idea
as I have no clue what else to
buy or make!! It's just and idea
for any future baby showers.



Here's another video with a lot
of cute ideas.
You could also use washcloths and/or
hand towels to make the same
cake for bridal showers or
a wedding gift.

Well it seems to be this time of
day when the internet or phone
decides it doesn't want to work.

Internet is back on.

Other than doing laundry and doing
about 3 paged calls to Tony's work.
Drove through UV, nothing.
Move outs start up on the 20th.
