I’m stoopid tired again. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

It started with another yard sale this morning. So once again I was up at 6am on a Saturday. It was lousy this time around: $20 in 3 hours. Compared to $300+ in 6 hours last Saturday. We ended up giving away our two largest items — Dave’s old model train layout benchwork and a La-z-Boy recliner, since they went to people we knew. I guess my double Baby Jogger’s goin’ on Craig’s List this week.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

At 10:45am we took the boys to a birthday party at one of those bouncy-house centers, got them there a little after 11am, where the Bucklers (their daughter was also a guest at the party) kept the boys while Dave and I took off for…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

…Raleigh World Beerfest<\/a>! <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Well, Dave did most of the drinking. He behaved very well, I’m proud of him! I enjoyed some tastes for the first 90 minutes or so…over 100 beers to taste! I was definitely most impressed with the Warsteiner flavored malt liquors<\/a>. The lemon flavored “mix” tasted like Mountain Dew with a kick! Yum! I’m not as much a beer girl so I was okay wrapping things up early on so I could drive Dave home. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Got to enjoy some fried dill pickles<\/a>! A distinctly North Carolina thing…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

It was a great time, except for when I was buzzed I charged right into a porta-potty and went potty before realizing there was no toilet tissue! EEEWWW!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

I did come out of there with a cool Blue Ridge Brewing Co<\/a>. t-shirt featuring this pic of their Hurricane Hefeweizen label, which I thought was neat.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

After a yummy fried seafood dinner<\/a> with the boys, and the boys went to bed, I tackled cleaning closets. Stuffing linens and clothing into Space Bags and hauling them down into our near-cleaned out garage shelves. Just now finished. My closet looks pretty darned good now. Let’s hope potential home buyers think the same thing.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Tomorrow? Mowing the lawn, shampooing carpets, grocery shopping and helping Dave package up his model train layout to store it while the house is on the market<\/a>.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Okay — while I was writing up this post, I must have downed about 10 Hershey’s Cookies & Cream Kisses. Oh so yummy in my tummy, but I must stop now!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
