I'm going threw everything, for a yard sale.
Getting rid of your stuff it awkward. I have all these memories and things attached to these silly objects. How do I explain to the old lady buying my lamp, that I rescued it from the dumpster at my first apartment, and fixed it up. It was one of the first pieces of furniture that I got on my own. No help from family and friends.
How do I explain that in a $1.00 Price tag? Isn't that memory worth a little more?
Oh well, I resolved myself to get rid of things I never use, and things I like, but I dont touch. It's made it easy to sort of put things in the pile.
It's been better knowing that I'm doing this to pay for school, not just to have some cash. It's going to pay my tuition.
So yay for that.
My Mother is coming today, at one. Shes helping with my sale. I keep telling myself that it wont erupt into war, like normal. I just have to stay well hydrated and clam.
In other news; it's sunny and my cat is lying in the sun spot on the floor. She is completely ignoring everyone, and everything... I think shes drooling.
P.S. My brother, Brandon is coming in August, after I get back from my trip. He hasn't said it, and I haven't offered, but I think he wants to stay, make a new life up here (sorry bad habit from growing up somewhere other then here).... Will see how this unfolds.

my sister: (after literally three hours of trying to force my mom to get up and do something about the mess),
"Why don't we play a game! the rules are simple: if you can name: 1.what the hell this thing is, 2.what its purpose is in the kitchen 3. one time in the last year somebody who lives here has actually used it, and 4. prove to me that you don't have another one somewhere, we won't get rid of it!"
my mom: "well...I don't know..."
sister: "Come on, it'll be fun!"
By the time whole expierence ended, we caught my mom trying hide things from us several times, just so we wouldn't get of them
The University I was at before cancelled the program I was majoring in half-way through the semester, with no warning to any of us at all. So, I'm basically out, oh...$20,000.00, with bearly anything to show for it
Like I told you before, good luck w/ your bother; sounds like you certainly need it...
