… my face! My latest, and final color was pretty yellow. And by “pretty” I mean, “intense”! I even had some BB cream on it, but that didn’t quite give me that even complexion that the bottle promised. This was Weds..
Good news is that the yellow is fading away. And it’s Thursday, so woohoo to that!
My boss and co-workers took me out for a belated birthday lunch. The restaurant I picked out is really a local bar & pub kinda place, because I had visions of big juicy burgers when I scheduled it. But due to that dang gum surgery I chose mac & cheese and a big plate of cheesy fries for lunch instead. It’s all good because a free lunch is a free lunch! (or is there no such thing as a free lunch…)
Tonight starts the official crazy season around this part of the state called “garage sale season”. I went to a rummage sale this past week and found an end table. Technically I think it was a night stand, but with some crafty refinishing it will find a home in my sunroom and I won’t have to worry about the kids knocking over my drink that was sitting on the floor!
A big neighborhood had a “preview” night for their sales and we went to that. It was a big deal – lots of cars there. We got just a few treasures. I bought an Aeropostale hoodie for my daughter so my son begged me to buy this cow pillow pet. I caved in. $2 = happy kids & “best mom ever” award.
We are having our neighborhood garage sale May 15 & 16 so I’m gearing up for that. No surprise here – but I’m the organizer of it. We have 44 houses signed up, and more stragglers trickle in each day. We usually end up with 50 houses signed up. It’s also a freaking madhouse. But fun. Oh so fun! I love to find treasures at garage sales! The kids are given a few dollars and the spend the whole morning buying the neighbor’s junk and bringing it back to our house… to be sold in our sale next year. But for a few days or months, that junk is the biggest treasure to them. And that’s what matters. 🙂

Q: Any bargain hunters out there? Garage sales or thrift store?
A: Garage sale shopping is my hobby in the summer. I’ve bought tons of kids clothes & toys at garage sales.
Q: Do you ever have garage sales at your house?
Q: Have you ever refinished wood furniture?
A: I have stained furniture before, but this will be a challenging project which I am looking forward to!
I actually need to declutter my house and get rid a bunch of stuff!!!! I should probably try to have a yard sale! Sounds like a fun organized event that your neighborhood is having!!!! Man, I wished I lived there! Would make it easy to get rid of the extra stuff in my house…. my problem is that I would probably go shopping at the other houses and then end up with more stuff! LOL!!!
So glad to hear that the yellow is almost gone!!!
So cool that your co-workers took you out to lunch!!! So fun!! So nice!!!
Have a great day!
