Well I've showered, done a load of laundry, poured my morning iced tea(don't judge me!), printed a fistful of Qs off, cooked and had my steel cut oats, taken dinner out to thaw(salmon), read my bloggy friends musings, lined up 9 eBay listings to write and mailed a package(well it's on the porch and the mail lady is coming to ME!lol).
And it's only 10 am.
Usually I am just rolling out of bed at this hour......sometimes later. ;-)
We are on Thanksgiving Countdown here!
T-Minus 8 days and counting.
Actually, I need to get the house in order by Sunday, as one of the BILs will be arriving from SC on that day. He is not staying through to Thanksgiving but still, the house needs to be presentable even if the kitchen will be a disaster since I'll be scrubbing out the fridge and cleaning/organizing/going through the pantry foodstuffs. He'll sit in Hubs recliner all day anyway except when he's getting himself more coffee or trying to get me to fix him food/wait on him......good luck with that last thing!lolol
And did I mention Hubs took off all of next week from work? At least he can keep his brother amused and stay the hell outta my way unless I need somethingbroken mangled fixed moved around the house.
Then Daughter arrives home on Tuesday and I am sure her Beau will be arriving shortly afterwards. He may be staying here since he still doesn't have a place to live due to the flooding in September of his mom's house. I think he is still staying with his Grandmother off and on. Daughter is suppose to assist with the Turkey Day meal but otherwise I don't think I'll be seeing much of her....unless she needs money, then I'll be seeing her out stretched hand.....
I also have to empty the dining room so we all have a place to eat together next Thursday.
This is where I'll need assistance since the dining room is eBay Central. I store the crap I am selling in tubs in the living room but I photograph and pack everything in the dining room. Meaning that room is full of bubblewrap rolls, newspapers and shipping boxes. That has to all go into the garage until next Friday.
Speaking of eBay......
I've sold 14 items in the last 10 days. I'm not upset about the slow start since my worry/concern until Black Friday is to get my Store loaded with items. I am striving for 10 listings a day but I've only done 8 per day the last couple of days, so I'm falling behind my goal. I've got 65 live listings at the moment and I hope to have 75 more done by next Friday for a total of 140(unless I sell some things between now and then). 140 would be a fine goal and make me smile! 8-))
I'll be heading to Weis Markets aka The Evil Empire in a bit for......wait for it.......more gravy!!lol
I've also got a $5 Cat Q to spend and a few other good deals to pick up.
I hate having to go out after school hours, as I find my energy ebbing around the 3pm hour, but today it can't be avoided. #2 son threw away his brand new retainer. We've been trying to track it down(he threw it away at someone else's house)for the last week or so and were crossing our fingers it would turn up but no such luck. Now we have to go replace it. We had to replace Daughter's when she sat on it(lol)so we are giving #2 son a FREEBIE this time and he won't have to pay for it. I am not happy but if it happens again, HIS WALLET WON'T BE HAPPY!lol Having to go to the other side of Wilkes-Barre to the Orthdontist's nice, fancy, new office to have the retainer fitted after 3pm is NOT making me happy either. Rainy weather, pre-rush hour traffic and having to race home to feed ravenous canines and to slave over a hot stove for dinner.
I'll be using up my Cranky Cards later today.....
