Professional Garage Salers

This week was pretty low key which was a good thing considering the weekend it built up to - the infamous garage sale weekend.

The garage sale was a huge success! Justin began receiving calls inquiring about exactly what we had Wednesday morning and one lady even stopped by that evening to see if she could get a sneak peek and buy from us early!

By 6:50 a.m. on the first day, Friday, we'd made $150
and were slammed with people all morning long. I'm talking

professional garage salers who get up at the crack of dawn to get their "garage saling" in before work.

It was crazy seeing how many of them knew each other, saying hi like they were long-lost buddies and swapping stories of good buys they found and where to shop next. By close of business at noon on the second day, Saturday,
we'd surpassed our goal and made $760!
We made one trip to Goodwill with the rest of our "treasures" and were done!

The only thing out of the ordinary that can be added to the regular weekly items of "belly spottings" and Baby Daniel movement is the attempt of prenatal yoga and two new maternity t-shirts that I'd been waiting to come in from cafepress.com.

The yoga was a lot harder than I ever imagined, but one of those "hurt me bad in a good way" kind of feelings
so I'm going to work this in to a regular work-out routine to accompany my walks. My two maternity t-shirts read,

"I Grow People - What's your super power?" and "Downloading...baby.boy"
- I love them!

I think Baby Daniel's getting stronger. His movement is slowly but surely going from soft cushioned bounces to pointed flops and kicks - even so much that if he hits just right, it tickles now and doesn't feel as foreign as before.

Looking forward to next weekend - my birthday dinner Friday night and Mom's March visit! :)
