Excuses in bullets

Heh.  Sounds so artsy.

• Our A/C stopped working.  In Texas.  In the Summer.  Suck on that for a while.  It works now and I am back to being cool and happy.  Ahhhhhh.
• We (Mr. Silly) painted the nursery from the green when Smushy was born to white to get a jump on moving preps.  It took For.Ev.Er to get all the furniture moved back in there.  It looks much better now and so does my living room.  No more junk everywhere!  (Ok, some junk everywhere, but not as much and we’ll be working on it tonight to get ready for…)
• Realtors are coming to poke through my things tomorrow morning.  It is so weird having strangers roam through the house and even stranger when it happens and I’m not here.
• We’ve decided to have a garage sale.  I’ve never done one.  How does it even go.  In our city, you have to pay for a garage sale permit, but they advertise it for you with signs and online.  I’ve started a list of crap I want to get rid of.  A lot of furniture and kitchen stuff.  I wish we’d figured this out before because I have donated 2.7 million bags of clothes and toys to various charities over the past month.  Not that I would want to sell it and not give to charity, but I feel like my garage sale will be empty of stuff.  How much stuff should I have?  And can I possibly get away with not tagging anything and just putting a big sign out that reads: “Make Me An Offer.  No, Really.”?  Would you be more likely to buy someone else’s crap if there were free lemonade?  Keep in mind, Texas.  Summer.
• The nap thing I referred to has sorta fixed itself.  She learned to climb out of her crib and fought naps for a week then just got bored and started sleeping in her crib again.  Self-fixing Toddler!  Woot!  Also, tonight she asked to sleep in the big girl bed (queen mattress on the floor) and I let her.  So that’s where she is for the very! first! time!  I’m not as nervous as I thought I’d be.  Mostly curious.
• My laptop has been acting kooky for the past week.  It seemed like a virus, so i ran a virus scan.  Nothing.  Then I ran a spyware scan.  Nothing.  Then I ran a boot scan.  Nothing.  So I figured maybe it was the operating system.  So I wiped the whole. damn. thing. and restored it.  And oh look at that STILL NOT WORKING RIGHT.  So fuck it.  I bought a Mac.  Should be here later this week.  We had already planned on switching, but it just happened a little early.  Also, Macbooks are crazy expensive.  So we got a desktop.  I’ll deal with my stupidbrokenPOSlaptop for a while and get a Macbook later.  Sooooon.  Mr.Silly can take over the desktop.  Poor guy always gets my electronic seconds.
