Way to go getting in extra walking waiting for the coffee! 
Your cruise is less than a month away! Are you excited? Are you freaking out yet? I'm in single digits and officially hit freaking out this afternoon!

May 3 - Day 60/108 - 27 days til I leave for FL/Cruise
chips(3) - great breakfast, huh?? But it was portable
2 ff string cheese(2)
chips(3)
2 bites bbq(2)
candy(5)
And LOTS of liquids - 4 - 34 oz containers +
Today & Tomorrow I will be MIA. I haven't even STARTED setting up GSale or Marking anything. And I have to go back to the Glasses place as they STILL don't have my glasses adjusted right. About 1 more time & I'm going to tell them to keep them. The pair I tried were fine, this pair they had to order are constantly hurting my head & rubbing on my eyelashes & face!

egg beaters(1)
ff chz(.5)
banana peppers(0)
lt em(1)
baked chips(2)
cheese(4)
chips(6)
chocolate(4)
I am SO TIRED!!!! I was up until almost 2 a.m. getting ready, then back up at 5. And from 2 days of walking up/down stairs hauling stuff, bending, sorting, etc. my legs HURT!!! Exercise?????
Drank 5 - 34 oz drinks today & just filled a 6th. Feel like a bloated pig! Which means I'll probably be up doing bathroom trips all night.
Sale went OK - almost $200. Ms Pac Man is still here - GRRRRR!!!! A local realtor - very well known - stopped by, said they wanted it & would be back w/in the hour. Never showed. I was bummed! Hopefully tomorrow.
VERY windy here this afternoon & tonight. Supposedly tomorrow as well. My face is wind burned and I'm VERY VERY dry!
Off to try to get some sleep! More tomorrow!

Sounds like the first day of the garage sale went well. Hopefully the rest of the weekend was good too and Ms. PacMan has a new home someplace else.

I REALLY need to get down to business with just 3 weeks left til I leave. Unfortunately Life keeps interfering with my plans!!!!!
Saturday morning woke up to COLD, wind, occasional rain/drizzle. It was SNOWING on the mountains! I figured it was pretty worthless to even open, but decided I needed to for a bit as it was in the paper. Little did I know that next to the High School less than a mile from my house was an 'Earth Day' celebration and city wide Flea Market! Despite the weather it was steady people to the point I couldn't even sit down out of the wind. Sold lots of JUNK - quarter here, fifty cents there - almost another $130! PLUS, MS Pac Man is GONE!!!!!! Not to the realtor, either! So, with the TV I sold to DS17 girlfriend & her sisters for their soon to be converted garage, Ms. Pac, and Fri/Sat I made over $800!!!!!!
And was TOTALLY and Completely exhausted & absolutely FROZEN!!! Needless to say, when I closed up the garage at about 1:30, I didn't clean it up.
So, Sunday morning I got up, was walking up for coffee, going to relax, buy a paper, drink some joe..... Got about 1.5 miles from home when my phone rang. DS17 who had left shortly before to run the sound system at church. I answered & he SCREAMED - "Where are you? I NEED you!" (which, as a mom of a kid who rides a motorcycle, threw me into a panic!) He was at home, but had just gotten a phone call from a fellow ChickFilA employee. The owner is in Hawaii & DS17 is IN CHARGE of the restaurant. And, the other employee, who happened to drive past on his way to do the 'Run for the Zoo' dressed as the CFA cow, saw that the building had a car shaped HOLE in it!!!!
I hurried home, got a car & went to meet DS17 at CFA. He called in the office manager who has the only key to the security camera system. At 5:23 Sunday morning a silver/grey jeep Cherokee crashed into the building. Had at least 3 people in it. The police followed a trail of glass & car fluids to the driveway of a house about 3 miles away(VERY clear trail on the street), but that wasn't enough evidence to get a warrant & check. We found 3 different spots of very clear, very bloody hand prints outside, have the video of the crash (but too dark to read the license), have th front grill of the jeep, a tshirt, gatorade bottle 1/2 gone, lighter & candy from in the vehicle, but still they will do nothing. With the right equipment, I believe the plate would be readable as it is very visible in the camera just too dark. Our police say they don't have anyone who can do that. They were going to sample the blood but decided that CFA couldn't prove it was the driver's blood so why bother.
So, I stayed at CFA while DS17 did police reports, tried to get ahold of people at CFA corporate, ins co, crew to board up the building etc. Was there from 8:30 a.m. til almost 2:30 before we ate. Thus the 18 pt 1 meal yesterday - but it was GOOD!!!!! Initial estimates were somewhere around 50 - 70K in damage. Fortunately the jeep hit where it was mostly in a vestibule area & the playland. And these drunks are going to get off free to do it again!
So, that killed most of yesterday. Then Saturday night DD's cell phone died, which, of course, is a MAJOR Catastrophe. So, after dealing with CFA, I had to meet DD and DH at Verizon to get them both new phones - both eligible for renewal. Took over 2 HOURS!!!!!
Finally got home just after 5 & had to clean up the garage as storms & hail were predicted and I wasn't about to leave my convertible out.
So, I've not been online since Thurs night for any length of time. I have over 200 emails to answer, over 600 to wade thru. Need to catch up on Ebay stuff.
Today I went to the thrift store - found some great stuff for the little ones in FL & a couple things for DH - casual shirts for the trip, not 'engineer' clothes!
Then I had to go get food for the pups since I was on that side of town. Next stop was Sam's, then the mall to once again try to get them to adjust my new glasses so I can wear them. That took well over an hour & while they're better, they're still not 'right'. I got home at the same time DD did & I left just after her bus.
To top everything off, I believe I lost part of a filling on a molar or a small part of tooth. I suppose I need to go get it checked & maybe fixed before our trip. I'd hate for it to go bad while I'm gone.
Can you tell I'm tired??????? Gee, I wonder why!!!???!!!!?????
But, for good news, DS17 FINALLY received his GED scores back - he scored in the top 1%!!!!!!! Perfect scores on 4/5 categories - not perfect on writing as he can't spell (says that's what spellcheck is for) and his handwriting is nearly illegible!
So, as usual, my life is CRAZY! I haven't made it to the gym. Haven't made it to tan (neither has DD), but I'm hoping to start changing that tomorrow. I should do some more ebay relists, but I've decided I'm done with summer - I'll hold it over til spring or GSale it or whatever.
DD never managed to clean out her closet or her storage containers before the GSale, so I know she still has tons of clothes to get rid of. UGH!!! It never ends!
Off to get some stuff accomplished & hopefully early to bed tonight. Still BAD allergies here which make me SO TIRED!!!!

I found your journal, but I have to say I'm exhausted after reading it! You are one busy lady!!
Yikes about that car going into the restaurant..I hope no one was seriously hurt, and that they come forward. Your poor son having to deal with that when he's in charge...what are the chances! Congrats, too, to him for high scores on the GED!
You made $800.00 on a yard sale! You must either have some great stuff, or live in a great neighborhood. Congratulations to you, that is awesome! ...and I haven't read the whole thread yet, but I see that congratulations are in order for the sale of Ms. Pacman.
Love your food choices! It all sounds so good, but can you please tell me what are banana peppers?
Have a terrific day!!
Beth

Wow, I can't imagine what your DS would have done without you to help out! That's such a crazy story, and its SO lame that there's nothing the police can do 
I hope that you get a few moments in this next week to take care of yourself, instead of having to focus on everyone else. You deserve it! (Oh, and isn't it almost Mother's day? Doubly deserve it then)
