Who doesn't love a yard sale...

Our annual "2 family" yard sale started with a bang and a lot of cold rain. Well, there wasn't really a bang, but there was most definitely cold, cold rain! Considering our last yard sale was help in 100 degree heat, I welcomed the rain and 50 degree temperatures with open arms.

We rolled around at 11 in the AM today to start the big sale. We had to uncover everything and set loads of things out of the garage. By the time that was done, it was 11:30 and we already had our first customer - even though the sale didn't start until noon! Anyways, the first chick bought like $20 of stuff - 80% of that being ours. Score one for us! There were only two more people that showed before the heavy rainfall started and we had to cover everything back up.

All in all day one was a fairly decent start. Yes, we only had three people show up, but those three people spent over $60! That's $20 more that what we made last year after two days! Luckily my lovely, lovely aunt will be taking over tomorrow's sales and we'll be able to sleep in.

Love & Peace

Goodbye old friends. You served your purpose back in my GH and Rock Band days. You will be missed.

Ah! Too many purses!!

I liked to call this the round table of awesomeness.

Guitar Hero drums... barely used. 

Cookware.

More indian things of my aunts'.

I still can't believe she was selling these beautiful spurs!

More glass stuff.

Our "business" table, LOL.

Money, money, money!

A bug.

Some awesome crock style boys that I could NOT let my aunt sell!

They were just too awesome to pass up.

Zoe attacking Bart.

Believe it or not, the only time she'll have anything to do with him is like this.

Hmm, I think she's biting him here.

Una loves catnip!

She loves it so much that she sticks her entire head in.

Zoe's smooshy face.

And now she's mad.

But oh so cute.

This cat grows like a weed!! Last week he was half this size!

Nothing says fun like Wii Tennis and Whitney Houston...

It's been brought to my attention that Jake Gyllenhaal (star of the upcoming thriller, Source Code) doesn't waste his time on games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band, oh no, he would rather spend his free time playing Wii Tennis while listening to Whitney Houston. Yes... Whitney Houston! Nothing against her or Wii Tennis, but what the hell man! I play Left 4 Dead while listening to rob Zombie. Anyone else confused here? Whatever the case may be, I think Mr. Gyllenhaal can't keep a girlfriend for reasons stated above. To each their own I guess.

Well, I suppose that's all for now. Until the next celebrity comes out of the closet news, you know where to find me...

Love & Peace

Guitar Hero... coming to an end?

I just recently found out that Activision, the company behind the ever so popular, Guitar Hero, is pulling the plug on the once beloved game franchise. It seems that Guitar Hero III was their last big seller and the market has gone downhill ever since. It's no big surprise to me, the games have been shit ever since Guitar Hero 2, but that's just my opinion. I mean, anything from a higher price to a sucky set list, GH has it. All of this is coming from an ex die hard fan. Believe me when I say this, I was the first in line when a new GH game was coming out. Well kiddies, not anymore. I guess you'll have to go out and pick up a real guitar if you want to play any new songs. Unless of course, you want to play Rock Band. But it's only a matter of time before they pull the plug as well.

I suppose that's all for now. Until the next big cancellation, you know where to find me...

Love & Peace

Song of the day: House Of The Rising Sun by Frijid Pink  <<< Seriously an awesome version! It almost gives The Animals a run for their money. :)

Guitar Hero: On Tour...

Ok, for those of you that don't have GH: On Tour, the game is pretty awesome, but really hard to get used to. I like to prop my hand and arm up on a pillow and play so they don't cramp up and die. And also, it's a little rough on the eyes, so I wouldn't play for like 5 hours at a time, there's a good chance you could get massive eye strain and a wicked headache. But after you play the first couple songs it gets a little better. The songlist isn't too bad either. There's a few new songs that are really great, but a few that totally suck too. So if you have a DS or DS Lite and like Guitar Hero type games then I suggest you go get yourself a copy today. - Megan
