Exhausted

The weekend has finally caught up to me. I am tired of auctions and junk. Tomorrow I have a baby shower at work and then Friday is Open House at work. I will be there from 7 AM to 9 or 10 PM. Oh and Saturday is my neighborhood yard sale. Maybe on Sunday I can get some rest.

Antique Booth

I am sure that you have all been waiting to see the pics of the booth. Well wait no more here it is....

Isn't it great! I am auctioned out though. We were at auctions this last weekend from Friday - Monday. On Monday we went to two that day. Hopefully we made some money over the weekend to make up for what I have spent.

Auction Crazy

We have been busy this week with loading in our Antique Booth. I have been cleaning and repairing furniture that we have gotten. I am on my way down there today to put more in that we bought last night. We are heading out again tonight to another auction. There are 3 more between now and Monday. Hopefully this little venture will be lucrative. I will take my camera and get a picture of the booth. It is called Wood Brothers Antiques.

Wedding Photos

Yea! It is over!! The renewal of wedding vows for my inlaws was today. I am exhausted. I was up until 2:30 am putting together a CD to use at the wedding since we were unsure about the piano player. You all know that after doing all that work she did show up today. But better to be safe than sorry. I got up and to my brother in laws this morning for his neighborhood yard sale. I made a purchase by myself and the guys were pleased. I got at table & 4 chairs for $35.00. Anyway I think I am pulling a Lauren and digressing again...

The wedding was beautiful. As you can see by the photo. Don't we all look gorgeous!!! After the wedding we had to go to my nephews graduation. I am just now getting home. I am loading the pics to Walmart.com so I can get them printed tomorrow. If I don't it will be days or weeks before I got that done. Who knows I may get creative and do them a wedding scrapbook. (Note: I have not even done my own so no one needs to hold their breath on this one.)

Guess what I did?

Well I made the plunge. I am now the proud owner of a booth at Knitting Mills Antiques. Wade & I along with his brother Jeff & wife Laurie are going to fill it up. This way we can get rid of all the junk we buy at the auction. We LOVE the auction and the thrill of buying a bargain. But I want to try and make some $$. We are going to try it for 6 months and see how it goes. Who knows we may not make a dime. But you don't know until you try. I am excited. So that means we are going to be busy the next couple of weeks going to auctions and buying stuff.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

I know you are reading this and thinking .... did you loose your mind. An Anniversary and Mother's Day all in the same weekend! My mother has been saying this for 11 years now. Don't ask me why I picked the day before Mother's Day to get married. Hind sight I guess I could have picked another day but I wanted to get married in May and that was the only weekend available. (ok so I don't remember for sure but it sounds like a good answer.) Sorry like my friend Lauren I am digressing.

Mother's Day this year was spent getting up and going to church with my mom. After church we went and had lunch at Ryan's. We met my in laws Lynne & Billy there also. We had a nice lunch. After lunch we headed back to our house for a photo op and change clothes and then we went to Lowe's. We picked up mulch and a few plants and went to mom's house to work in the yard. It is amazing what some weeding and a few bags of mulch will do. The yard looks great! So now that I am exhausted I am going to bed and get ready for the week ahead.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!! (to me)

Friday May 11, 2007 Wade and I have been married for 11 years. Can you believe it? Who would have thought it would have ever lasted this long! LOL. Wade really put some thought into our anniversary. He brought me flowers to work on Friday and planned our whole evening. We had dinner at Hennen's. By the way it was FABULOUS!! After dinner we walked around downtown and stopped at Ben & Jerry's for ice cream. We were going to take a carriage ride but because it looked like it was going to rain there were not any carriages out. We ended our evening at the hotel room that he had reserved. I was soo impressed that he did all that just for us. So ok he has brownie points for a while...

Whew!

Boy has it been a whirlwind of a week. The weekend has gone by just as quick. The plan was to get up on Saturday morning and go to the yard sales and then head up to Tansi. Well it was such a yucky rainy day we hung out at home. We got up early today and headed up there. We got a ton of stuff done. We got 10 bags of mulch put out, the water turned on, the air conditioner put in the window, cleaned the bathrooms & the kitchen. Oh and I also vacuumed the whole place. It is ready for us to go up for Memorial Day weekend. I am pooped now. I got home and put clothes in the wash. Why is a woman's work never done?

Lookouts Game

Well we went to the Chattanooga Lookouts game on Monday night. Katie won a ticket at school for being the most improved. I got the box seats that my company has so that we could be more comfortable instead of sitting in the cheap seats. Well our surprise the seats were GREAT! We were right behind home plate. We got to see all the action. We also were sitting around all of the scouts for the other teams. It was really neat. The weather was so nice. We actually enjoyed our night out at the ballpark. We only lasted till the 6th inning. Katie had already eaten ice cream and was ready to go. We figured she wouldn't make it. Anyway she had to get home and get ready for bed.
