5 March is the Day


There's a house on our street that had their Christmas decorations up for months and months. It was our standing joke to see if it was still up and how long it would stay. About 3 weeks ago they finally took it all down but left it in heaps on their porch. So for the past 3 weeks, every morning when I get home from work I report to T, "Their decorations are still on their porch, in case you were wondering." Well, today was the day! CB and I were out delivering Children's Market Consignment Sale fliers and I saw someone on the porch putting the garlands, lights, ornaments, Christmas trees, etc... in Rubbermaid bins. What? I gave her a flier and she said, "Can I have 2? I actually don't live here but I'd like one and I'll give one to them too." So, apparently those neighbors are so busy that they had to hire someone to take down their Christmas decorations and today, 5 March, was the perfect day for it. I just had to laugh.

Another funny for your day: a school somewhere had some extra portable/trailers to sell off and someone listed one on ebay, hoping to get $10,000 for it. Little did they know that you have to list it with a reserve to sell it for a minimum price and it sold for $0.99! They are trying to resolve it but ebay said the sale is final. Unbelievable.

AAAh! I am going to go take mine down right now:) And the netting I bought at marshals for 3.00. It had really tacky crowns on it but I pulled them off and put on rhinestones. Then I just glued the flowers on around the circle. Really easy.
