More weekend update

The weekend was pretty relaxing, though I did go into the city Saturday. I first stopped at Ross to see what they might have and as most often, nothing. Then I went to Michael's. Before I even got in the door they had some small Christmas pointsettia's for $3 ea, so I got 2 more to add to the 2 I bought before Christmas. Then I browsed their Christmas clearance aisle and found a few things I ended up buying. A wood Santa, a small flocked tree and some wrapping paper. All spent was $18 as it was all 80% off.

Then I really had to go to the bathroom, so I went over to Target (at least there wasn't a line to get in this time) and went back to see if they had any Christmas clearance left, but nothing. Then my Walmart grocery order was ready so I went and picked that up and on my way out of the city I stopped at Home Depot to get that big storage bin for dh.....I should have picked that up first LOL. I ended up having to take out some of the groceries, then get the big bin in and then put those groceries in the bin, ha!

Just before I left home a guy had shown up to discuss some welding dh needs done. He's a local guy who does welding on the side and dh had gotten his number from a friend and called him Friday. He came over on Saturday to see what dh needed done. It's for our gates, to weld the hinges onto the gate piers. Not sure how long it will all take him, but he will do the job for us. Seemed like a really nice guy.

We are well stocked up on food again, which always feels comforting. Plus then it's not so hard to figure out "what should I make for dinner?" LOL.

Last week DD had decided to try putting an ad on marketplace for her wood hall tree. Apparently she can see how many people looked at the ad and how many saved it. All week she kept getting more and more views and saves. I told her rather than sit and watch/wait for an order, act like you already have one! I suggested she get one made up and ready but she said she doesn't really have the room to store it. I said well, at least go get the wood and get it all cut up, sanded and stained - then you will get an order! 

Yesterday afternoon she messaged me that she went and bought the lumber. 3 hours later she messaged me she has her first order! She thinks I'm a wizard now, haha. The profit she will make on the one hall tree will pay for the new coffee table she wants to get :)  On Thursday she had shown me this area rug she wanted to get for their family room (where they spend all their time) that was $100. The very next day she was looking at Marketplace and someone was selling the exact same one for $60 - brand new. They bought it, it was too small and they didn't want to try to ship it back. She got it :)

Well, Monday morning and welcome to computer problems at work. A program isn't working and my mail is still crashing.
