You Have to Love ebay!

I just read an article that a woman from Chicago bought a house in Saginaw, Michigan for $1.75! She was the highest bid (of 8 bids) but she will also have to pay about $850 in back taxes and yard cleanup costs. How crazy is that? I cannot imagine buying a house sight unseen and not knowing if there were any liens on it or what the potential damage was to the house..not even for less than 2 bucks! I guess that goes to show the power of ebay. You really can buy or sell just about anything on there, I swear!

Craigslist!!

I swear I *love* Craigslist! (For anyone who doesnt know, it is the website www.craigslist.org) I swear I can find anything on there, so I decided to start putting some stuff on there and it has been nuts. I started posting things last week and since then have made almost $300! I put up baby clothes, a jumperoo, double stroller, jogging stroller, play mat, etc. etc. Mostly baby stuff and just junk in the garage I needed to get rid of. It was a nice way to make some extra money adn not have to have a stupid garage sale. I was thinking of putting all that on ebay, but posting on Craigslist is free and I dont have to deal with shipping or anything, people just come pick it up. And, for all the stuff I can't sell on craigslist, I put on freecycle and someone always takes it. Just a thought, if you are trying to make some extra money--see if you have anything around the house you could sell and post it on Craigslist! You never know!

Sick-Sick-Sick!!!

Well, I have been gone forever because it turned out I was still sick! I ended up with Bronchitis from the hospital and it ended up turning into Pneumonia. The last 8 weeks have been incredibly rough and I am just so glad to finally feel better, have some energy back and be back to blogging and working! I missed it!! I learned a very valuable lesson that when you do not feel well you need to trust your body and take care of it so it doesnt get out of control. I am going to be updating like crazy the next few days and hopefully be back on track!
