Me and you

I kept reading about this movie, Me and You and Everyone We Know and how eye opening, beautiful, etc, it was.

So I went to see it last night. YUCK! I guess I was expecting a story about the creative life, living life to the fullest. And instead I got a story filled with stalking, obsessive compulsive behavior, and child sexuality. The only character I liked was the old man who rode in the Elder Cab. And why was the 6-year old baby allowed to roam the streets by himself? I think Miranda July is cute, and I might see her other movies, but i just wasn't crazy about this movie.

In other news, I have more things up for sale on ebay. Cross-stitch kits and more!

don't feed the raccoons

I got home the other day and saw a raccoon sitting on the dumpster. Not so odd, except that he had a half-rack of ribs in his mouth! I opened the car door and he took off with the ribs in his mouth. Not rib bones, mind you, ribs with all the meat, as if someone was having a picnic.

Fast-forward to the next day, when I see remnants of a meat-ki-bob laying on the dumpster. Huh? Could we please not leave meat laying on the dumpster?

I can't wait to move!

Call me superstitious!

I'm going to look at my new apartment and sign the lease tonight! Yay! I hope nothing goes wrong.

I've put some more low-cost items up on eBay. For some reason, if I post them here, they have a tendancy to sell. So call me superstitious, but I'm going to list them:

Windshield repair kit, free resin refill, fix cracks

Winsor & Newton, Griffin Alkyd fast drying oil color

Today is Day 1 of the rest of my life

I have been up and down lately. Thankfully no one else died this week. I'm still having a hard time letting go of the two from last week. But life goes on...

I added two gift bags to my Etsy online store.

Here's what I have up on ebay:

2 Martha Stewart Books

Total profit on eBay so far: $586.13 YAHOO! I made a big ticket sale which is going to cover hotel and mike's airfare to vegas.

I don't have much to say but i wanted to post something a little cheerier than the last one.

I've made $42.79 in profit on eBay so far. Yay!

And I'm moving to Rocky River this fall. A two-bedroom flat for $550. Sent in the application today. Yay!

Ok, I am drowning in work. Time to boogie.

My step-grandmother Helen died this week.

Mike and I made the 2.5 hour trip to see his Uncle Bill and Aunt Melinda yesterday. They hadn't seen each other in years!

Unfortunately the battery in my camera conked out so I could only take a picture with my cell phone. It stinks, I know.

In other news, most of the things I've listed on ebay are selling, which surprises me. One man's junk...

Update on the goals

Sometimes it's a pain to check the goal pages individually, so here's a general recap:

I'm selling two purses at Etsy.com, an ebay-like site for crafters.
I've made roughly $30 in gambling money by selling junk on ebay.
