Erich and I had a yardsale today and made $150. Exactly the goal I had set for us yesterday. Pretty cool cuz I didn't think we'd get there but we did it! We have so much useless shit in the garage that other people could benefit from so I figured we'd sell it. I wanna start with a clean slate in our new home. Now that I'm making my own money and buying my own stuff, i'm becoming more practical with the way I spend it. I'm starting to understand why my parents never understood why people spent money on pointless things.
I'm trying to be patient about the new house we put an offer on. I offered 200,000 for that house and the listing price was 217,000. Another house just like it sold for 185,000 recently so I'm pretty confident the bank will approve my offer. I just can't wait to get back on a schedule. Life is ridiculously chaotic when there is no set schedule and it's driving me nuts. Living out of boxes is a pain in the ass.
Last night Erich was slaving away going through things that we were planning and not planning on selling. After that we went around posting signs up around the neighborhood... When we were driving around he asked "Can you imagine if you were married to someone else, what it would be like?"
Me, "No. Why do you imagine being married to someone else or something?"
Erich: "No. I'm just saying can you imagine being married to someone else?"
Me. "No."
Erich "Okay. Good. That's all I wanted to hear. I can't imagine being married to someone else either".
I think it's funny how us women always have to twist things around because what I think he really meant to say was "No other mother fucker is gonna go through shit for a garage sale and then post signs in the middle of the night so your ass is lucky you're married to me". And I knew that's what he wanted to say and I wanted to respond just by saying "thanks baby for putting up the signs" But instead I came back with something that a typical woman would say.
Why do we do that to the ones we love?! hahaha. i'm glad Erich understands every single aspect of my personality.
