Window Shopping for eBay or How much do I love my Mother-in-Law’s home?

We went to one of my favorite houses.. today, my mother-in-laws.  She has the perfect blend of new and old in her house, and every time I go.. it’s different.  Here’s some highlights from her house. 

                                        
                                         See these Cow pitchers?  I love them.. See the green majolica?  Love them too!

                                                             
                                                              Don’t you love these Chocolate rooster molds?

                        

There’s so much more that I love about my mother in law’s  house.. (and her too).   I didn’t want to take too many photos of her stuff.. I was a bit worried she would think I was scoping the place out.

Nothing, or How I am Mad at Gary Lezak…

Well it’s 9: something PM.  Do you know what I’ve done today? Nothing.  (ok I’ve done something)  But I’ve accomplished NOTHING on the eBay front.

  1. I’ve run a few errands with The Man.. and I ate lunch with him.. ALONE.
  2. made chili.
  3. wrote up one thing for eBay.
  4. took a nap on the sofa with The Man.
  5. Ate Chili
  6. Watch Sex and the City Movie, while I read some blogs.
  7. I did not participate in Earth Hour.. because well.. I forgot. (all those green people can flog me now) I  actually think EVERY LIGHT in my house was on.. (cue the Trace Atkins song) www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLZ55CiJwmY 

So here’s how the snow looked at my house at around 6:45pm.

                                                              
                                                         We received about 3 inches of snow. NOT the 8-12" that Gary Lezak said we would get…

**some of you might question this photo.. this is my front yard.  The Man says it’s our front 10 acres.  The little gazebo thing he gave me for my birthday last year.  Since we disagree on where it goes.. we’ve left it there all lonely and needing a home.

I think I am very angry at Gary Lezak.. the next time he gives me the weather I’m going to have Child #5 give him this look…

                                                    

Don’t you love a strong man holding a baby?  It makes me want baby #6.  Don’t tell The Man.. he said NO to Baby #2, #3, #4, & #5… 

To The Man: baby=money 
To me: baby=love

Cloudy Days & Friday’s Always Get Me Down

                                                                    Too cute!  Baby Degus.. Any body want one or two?

I thought I’d start this entry off with something cute.  We have 8 of these little buggers at our house.  Many of you are saying; "Why on God’s green earth would you have 1 of those things in your house, let alone 8?"  I can only say that I am a complete sucker. My mother would only let us have a dog as a kid, so I pretty much say yes to everything but spiders and snakes when my kids want something.

It’s a very dreary day here in Kansas… we are expecting 8"-12" of snow.. (according to Gary Lezak)  My stairs are a bit icy which makes me not want to go to the store. I sent a long list to The Man, in hopes he would go to the store for me.  Something you should know about The Man.. he would go to the store for me no matter how long he’s been at work. He’s nice like that.

I’ve written up ALL of these jeans today..

                                              
It doesn’t look like much, but there were about 25 pairs of jeans in there.  Don’t ask me if I think they will sell… Because I have NO IDEA in today’s current econonmy.

I also have this stuff to write up:

                                                            

This picture doesn’t reveal much of what I have does it?  There’s that Read with me DVD, the pink ribbon which is attached to some shoes.. I’m not going to share the shoes with you. You all appear to be gentle, kind readers. I don’t think you are ready for those shoes…  But see all the plastic bags?  Those are FULL of flatware.

Back in the days when eBay was king, I would buy every piece of silverware or flatware I could get my hands on. Rachel, the shipping manager also doubles as the guru of flatware patterns… she can name a silverware pattern from 100ft.  Ok.. she can’t do that, because she has the vision of a 55 year old man.  But if you put a piece of silverware in her hands she can name the pattern.

Anyone want to see a photo of the shipping manager?
                                                                                      
                                                                                    What is wrong with her?

Someone needs to snap a real photo of her. I’ll get her brothers right on it.  Watch out Rachel, you have a bounty on your head.. I’m paying a Nutty Bar to anyone that get’s a photo of the elusive shipping manager.  Photos to come…
