Deck the Halls with Boughs of Kleenex

I am thinking some of my stock market investment should include Kleenex.  Kid #4 has had a runny, sniffly nose for so long now I KNOW I should be part owner in the company.  She keeps her chin up through it all, but it has got to be aggravating to have a constant drip and sneezing attack.  The doctor is on the agenda after the holiday to see if it is allergies, or something more.  But until then.....Fa La La La La, La La Achoooooo!!! 

I hope everyone has a great holiday, whatever holiday it is you celebrate.  We celebrate Christmas in our household.  To hear kid #4 speak of being thankful for God and her family tells me wonderful hubby and I must be doing something right.  Now if I could only get the mean ladies in the store to quit pushing me out of the way or cutting eyes at me because I got to the Kleenex first, life would be grand!! (And yes this really did happen the other day)

Day Late and A Dollar Short

So, this weekend we went searching for our Christmas tree.  Not far from home is a new tree lot in an old long ago abandoned post office.  The couple selling the trees were following us making small talk as we studied and decided on a tree (I was very happy with the tree by the way).  They proceed to tell us how they are converting the place into a new store for all things locally made.  Are you kidding me????  I have had that thought as a business concept.  There have been quite a few ideas I have had for a business venture and they end up coming to fruition, just not by my own hands.  I have got to learn to just quit thinking so much and act on my instincts.  Now, to just come up with that next great thing now that all my old ideas are taken....

I am the Walrus!

Okay, so maybe not the walrus, but I think I am the auction hunter!  Went to my first auction this weekend, and let me tell you, I think I got bitten by the bug.  That was so much fun.  A local farm here has an auction every year, and basically you can consign anything you want.  There were holiday crafts, old farm equipment, animals.  You name it, it was auctionable (is that even a word?).  I ended up getting into a bidding war with a woman over some Adirondack chairs and matching table.  I WON!!  I ended up getting two chairs when I thought I was bidding on one, so there was an oops on my part.  It was like a scene right out of the show, and I was the star!!  Quite cool, in my humble opinion.

So there you have it!  Maybe I have found my niche.  In my quaint little corner of the world, maybe I can make a few dollars buying dirty old storage units and reselling what I can.  I am going to head out and start looking at storage units to see if it is worth it.  I am not opposed to doing a little dirty work when needed.  I mean if I can handle messy diapers and vomit, I think I can handle a dusty unit with a few cobwebs.
