Starting A Business?

Last week I started listing items on eBay, trying to make a little extra money.  I'm using "leftover" items from Lloyd and his friends business, things that won't make them a profit.  I'm kind of getting into it.  I have only sold three things so far, but I just finished listing a bunch more and I'm excited to see if they sell.  If I really get into it, I might want to buy my own pallets and see if I can make my own little business out of it.  We shall see! :)

Wednesday's Words

Well I sold another item on eBay so I have to go to the post office and have it shipped.  I'm off to a good start with this again and I'm hoping I'll keep having good luck selling things.  Still need to go through everything in the basement.

We ate some of  the Lemon Cornmeal Bundt cake last night.  It was really good!  I generally don't care for lemons or anything sour but this has the flavor of lemons without all the puckering!

I've learned I can no longer put Lauryn in her bouncy seat.  I usually put her in it in the mornings when I need to get a few things done.  I strapped her in and headed down to the basement to get some laundry going and on my way back up the stairs I heard her fussing a little bit.  When I got into the living room, I found her laying on the floor with one of her feet still in the seat, caught in the strap!  She was fine, no bumps, bruises or red marks but how on earth does she do that?  Here I think it's safe for her to be in that since she's all buckled in and then she goes and proves me wrong!  She's back to sleeping through the night again....Hallelujah :)  When she sleeps well, mama sleeps well!  I think we're getting good on the new schedule too!  It's still a little later than I'd like her to be up but slowly we're getting there.  She's usually in bed and sleeping by 9:45 pm - 10pm.  That's a little better than 11 pm!  My little night owl!

Nothing planned for dinner tonight.  Lloyd has a double header and I'm going to Kathye's for our Wednesday "workout."  We usually end up laughing more than actually working out but at least we try :)

Monday, Monday

Manic Monday #172

What is the last song that was stuck in your head and how did you get rid of it? Right now it's "Manic Monday" from the Bangles :) and it just came when I started this so I haven't gotten rid of it!

If you had to say what one thing in your life best represents your freedom, what would it be? I'm not sure how to answer this one. I guess I'd have to say that being a SAHM gives me lots of freedom to do what I want and live the life I wanted.

If you were invited to the White House for dinner tonight, what would you wear from your current wardrobe? Probably the cocktail dress I bought to wear on our honeymoon cruise...I think it still fits :)

The weekend was so nice, busy but nice! We had a really nice time with Lloyd's parents yesterday. We ate burgers, played with Lauryn and Lloyd and his dad played horseshoes. It was a very nice visit!

Some time this week I'm going to make a lemon bundt cake. I found a recipe for it and it looks so yummy! And, of course, I'll post the recipe for it after I make it.

I've sold another item on eBay. I still have to go through the things in the basement to see what else we can sell. Hopefully going through all of it will inspire to me actually organize everything and get everything put away. Who knew we had so much stuff?

Lauryn's tooth finally started to break through! You can see it sticking out and you can see the one right next to it just under the surface. Yay!!! She's been really fussy the past few days so I hope once the come in completely, she'll have some relief!

Wednesday's Meme

Today I want to get the laundry caught up, I want to find my loaded baked potato salad recipe, I want to find Lloyd's favorite cake recipes, I want to go look through the stuff in the basement to see what else I can sell on eBay and I want to paint my toe nails :)

Rainy Monday

What a dreary day! I don't mind it too much though because I have a few things I need to get around the house anyway. I'm thinking I might make another cinnamon raisin bread because I want to use up the raisins and it was really good bread :) I might make some brown sugar cookies too. I noticed a recipe on the back of the package and it sounded pretty good. If I do end up making them I'll post the recipe.

Still no teeth for Lauryn. Her gums really seemed to be bothering her last night. She slept well but earlier in the evening she was quite fussy. I can't wait to see that first tooth! It's going to look so cute when she gives her great big smiles!

I've been wanting to do something crafty for the last few days but I'm really not in the mood for crocheting. I was given a scrapbook with some stickers as a shower gift and I've been thinking of giving it a try. I've never done any scrap booking but I've seen what other people have done and there are some really neat ones out there. I might have to check into it a little and get some more ideas but I think it would be fun to see what I can come up with.

I want to use up that ham from last night for tonight's dinner but I don't have the right ingredients for my cheesy ham and potato soup so I'm not sure what I'm going to make. I might try a ham and potato bake that one of my coworkers made a few years ago. I don't remember what all she put in it but it was really tasty and it sounds good!

I recently started selling things on eBay again. I had tried it before and had some success but then I kind of lost interest. Now that I have a little more time, and after we moved I realized we have a lot of things that we really don't need or use, I'm going to start up again and see if I have any luck. I did sell some baby bottles and accessories that Lauryn never used. We have a ton of stuff in the basement that we need to go through though so we'll have to see what else we can sell.
