Craigslist

Has anyone everyone ever sold stuff on Craigslist?  Last year I explored the idea and never acted on it because I wasn't organized enough.  Then Justin and Christina were telling us how they sold a desk using and Craigslist and how it was pretty simple.  So, I decided I would try it out and it was simple!! 

I listed 3 items.  2 of them I listed very late last Wednesday night.  In the end we had over 15 responses for one of the items and over 10 for the other!  I ended up having to write people and say, "if I don't hear from you by xxx I will assume you are not interested".  How crazy is that?!?  And to make it even better, they came to the house and picked the stuff up.  One guy was willing to come pay me on Thursday and then pick it up Friday because he wanted to make sure I held it for him.  I told him not to worry about it, that it was his and he could pick up and pay at the same time.

The other item I listed Wednesday afternoon and then relisted it Friday.  I didn't hear anything all weekend and finally yesterday someone sent me a message saying they were interested.  I was able to sell them the file cabinet and bookshelf, which was not even listed.  Wahoo!  He came and picked up both things yesterday and now we have a little extra cash in our pocket.

I am all about some Craigslist now!   Here's to finding more stuff around the house to sell!

Ellie decided she needed some tummy time too!

On the Prowl

Monday Brad and I took Little P to her first Auburn event!  Every year coaches are allowed to go visit recruits during this time and Auburn goes all out.  Last year they went around in style by renting limos and this year was no different; they added a decked out touring RV and a fundraising pep rally.  It was a lot of fun to get out and meet the coaches.  They were all so nice!

Funny story - we show up, get Paige out of the car, carry the car seat, wander around for a little bit, talk with coaches, then realize we have the stroller in the car.  Here we had been carrying this 11 lbs baby and even heavier car seat when we could have been pushing her in the stroller.  Can you tell who the new parents are?

The atmosphere was very relaxed.  You could just walk up to a coach, ask for a picture or autograph and talk to them a little bit.  My favorite coach we talked to was the special teams coach, Jay Boulware.  He was just so friendly!  He told us about his daughter when she was Paige's age; just so nice!  I really hope AU's special teams do well this year so he keeps his job - ha!  I think Brad's favorite was probably the offensive line coach, Jeff Grimes.  Coach Grimes and a bunch of fans just stood around talking.  Brad was able to stand there and just listen to what all he had to say - he was in hog heaven listening to all the recruiting talk (as he would say, "all the intricies of creating the best offensive line").

Coach Trooper greeting a former AU player's, Antonio Coleman's, family and friends

It was very bright and somewhat warm Monday afternoon.  We tried to keep Paige in the shade but as you can see here, it was sometimes hard.

Coach Trooper and Paige.  As I have said before, Paige is not the biggest fan of others holding her.  Coach Trooper was really sweet and wanted to hold her, so we let him (although I knew the waterworks were soon to follow).  Poor Paige and poor Coach Trooper.  We promise she really does like him!

When Paige did not cooperate, we settled for a picture of me with Coach Troop

Our goal all along was to get a picture of Brad, Paige and a coach (didn't really matter which one).  Well, we tried that with Coach Boulware and he was so nice that he asked one of the other fans to take our picture so that "mom" could be included too.  How nice that he wanted a family picture!

Coach Luper, Paige and me (Coach Luper and Paige have matching hair-do's!)

The newest addition to the Auburn family, basketball coach, Tony Barbee.  He gave a little speach and it made me laugh - he basically said don't plan on winning this season and don't fire him because of it.

We can't wait for football season (maybe basketball season too!)!

It's great to be an AUBURN Tiger!!

Just for Fun

Kick'em in the butt

Big Blue, hey!

The New and Improved

Has anyone seen the latest commercials for Dominos pizza?  Apparently people complained about their pizza and they have this "new and improved" recipe.  Well, last night for dinner our small group thought we would try it.  The results -

Me: Tastes about the same.  The crust has some herbs (garlic and maybe p-cheese) on it which was good.  The crust also seemed not as tough (if that makes any sense).

Other comments - Really liked the garlic in the crust.  Sauce and cheese were nothing special.  Couldn't really taste a difference.

So, if anyone out there is wondering if the new Dominos is worth all the hype, now you know...

Houston, We Have a Problem

It has come to my attention that our sweet little girl has attachment issues.

Brad and I had already talked about this because Little P likes to cry when she is in anyone else's arms except mine.  This was confirmed yesterday when we went by my office.  All of the nice ladies wanted to hold her and Paige would have no part of it.  She would start out for a few seconds ok in some of the grandmothers' arms but then the waterworks begun and if you didn't know we were there, you did then.  After I was holding her, she would give people looks like, "don't get too close, you may take me from my momma and that is just not going to happen".  So much for the pictures I wanted to take of Paige with my co-workers - ha!

May day - we start daycare in 3 1/2 weeks!!  What are we going to do??  More importantly what is sweet little Paige going to do?  How I am going to go to work knowing she is crying non-stop?

Any ideas?

At least she looks cute in her overalls.

Treats

During my time off I am trying to get out of the house at least once a day. Our daily outings include trips to the mall, Target, grocery store, or to meet Brad or friends for a meal. My newest thing is to include a "treat" for me. This means I stop at Chic-fil-a, my favorite, or Sonic, my close 2nd. It has been so much fun getting a milkshake or strawberry limeade (of course the milkshakes do not help the waistline)!

The main reason for the post - the picture of Paige. Here is she at one of our outings. We couldn't help but get her sunglasses!
