I’m having an Online Garage Sale
My Inner Domestic Diva has gone Crazy!
She has declared war on the legions of dust bunnies inhabiting my living space and has threatened an INTERVENTION!
She said that if I didn’t help her de-clutter the place and get rid of some of the junk that has been taking up space that she was going to call the booking agent for that reality TV show about hoarders and turn my name in!
Since I can’t abide reality TV shows, and she was about to throw her tiara at me… I gave in.
You can see the full gamet of what I’m selling over at Pinterest where I’ve created a board called “My Online Garage Sale” Clever title isn’t it? 🙂
Once there you can click on the photo and that will take you to either Amazon or to eBay where you can then either bid or buy the item of your choice.
Some fun stuff… …it’s a Garage Sale after all. LOL
What are you waiting for… hop on over and go rummaging!
All kidding aside… …I need the cash in a bad way.
I really do need to clean out the storage closet. By selling a bunch of stuff that I haven’t even looked at in years, I’ll be able to move what remains to a smaller unit and save some bucks on the rent.
However, I’m also doing this bit of “fall cleaning” because I really do need the cash. My truck insurance is due on the 16th. Urk and I’m $69 short. And after that there is…
well, I think you get the idea.
If you don’t feel like shopping for yourself, you can always shop for me!
I’ve created a “wish list” of things I need but don’t have the money for right now over on Amazon.
Anything on the list (some stuff is under $5) will be shipped to me as a gift.
And I will be EVER so grateful!
See ya on the dance… Uhmm… See ya at the Garage Sale!

It is autographed by the author and by the translator.

Counting up the Small Victories
Ok, confession time… …I’ve not exactly been a “good boy” since coming back from Worlds. So, this past weekend, I got myself moving again, figuratively speaking.
I also have let you know that it is TOUGH getting moving in a positive direction after after falling back on old habits! Yes, friends and neighbors, breaking a downward spiral is tough. Really tough. I found myself thinking today “Gaining weight and getting out of shape is easy; loosing weight and getting into shape is hard. Very hard.” [Watch for a coming post on the difference between “being overweight” and “being out of shape”. They often are used synonymously but they are actually two different things.
So here I am, looking at the numbers this week on the scale and NOT feeling great about the numbers I’m seeing. I track both weight and body fat by weighing twice a day. For body fat, I use the TBF-531 Body Fat Monitor/Scale by Tanita. It uses the electrical impedance method of measurement.
I also use the Omron Fat Loss Monitor HBF-306. I take two measurements in the morning, one from each device and then average the numbers. And then I repeat the measurement in the evening, giving me four measurements per day. I weigh in twice a day and average those two numbers as well.
Well, that’s how I track my progress when I’m actually *ahem* tracking my progress and I haven’t been regularly *AHEM* tracking my progress (or lack thereof) since Worlds. Which brings me back to my original statement at the beginning of this entry “I haven’t been a good boy since Worlds” *SIGH*
So. Hello mild depression. Glad to meet you, let you introduce you to my good friend “mild frustration.” Oh you two know each other? I thought you might. *SIGH*
So what to do? Read the rest of this entry
