DAY #3: I showed signs of weakness today. Let me tell you how it all started....damn online Facebook Garage Sale sites....thats how it started. I would remove myself from their tempting posts. However some of the ones Im in are really good and Im out of zip code and was grandfathered into them before they went private or whatever. So if I un-join some of the groups, I wont be let back in for 2016. YES THIS IS A MAJOR DILEMMA FOR ME...dont judge me, just feel my pain and encourage strength for me. There are a few that I could remove myself from. So I guess Ill go down the list and save the good ones and un-join the less desirable ones. Besides, I never see what my friends are doing on Facebook anymore because Ive got 21 different sites posting a plethora of goodie items to buy like every 30 seconds from 10,000+ people all over the Dallas metroplex in my news feed. While Im scrolling through all the goodies all glass-eyed with drool dripping down the side of my face, Im missing the important stuff. Like what some of you had for dinner last night...(ok, that was a little bit of sarcasm) ANYWAY, back to my weakness. I saw this sale, furniture sale an ENTIRE home of furniture for sale. Now as most of you know, I desperately tried to find two nice matching comfy chairs for my living room to flank my fireplace before the dreaded 2015 year began, and I failed myself...however... Simon Fagans sister Amy Fagan Tate is searching for side chair for her living room. So I came up with a great idea, I can shop for her! I mean, its not my money, and shes was working today and couldnt go out there herself and the items wont be in my home...so its legit. Im like a volunteer personal shopper! I sent her the photos, got the address, and marveled at the tufted grey velvet side chairs (which personally would look better in my space than hers, but thats besides the point) and planned to drive out to view all the goodies after Ryders soccer game (I still dont feel well, but I had to get out for the game anyway, so why not. AND Amy does want a new chair). I did tell her that I wasnt allowed to shop, and she might have to buy me 2 chairs that I could pay her back for in 2016. She replied lol ... I guess she thought I was kidding. Wow, so my day is planned and Ive only been awake for 4 hours! Time to get ready to cheer my son on at his game! Take a shower, plug in the curling iron, use my crappy 2nd string lackluster brush, blow dry my hair, get my makeup on. Curl my hair....curl my hair....curl my hair....is this thing on? Hmmm, light is on. Curl my hair....is this thing even getting hot? Push on button again. Tweak Makeup, check out my butt, put on boots, carefully touch curling iron, cold. WHAT?!?! Yesterday is was the brush and today its the curling iron? Clearly the universe is confused. I did not say that in 2015 I wanted ratty, crappy hair, I said I didnt want to shop. The hair gods are out to get me...makeshift hairdo will have to suffice. Ive got a game to go to. We won the game 14-1 YAY Thunder Strikers! And now Im off to see what type of furniture goodies Amy will be buying for me today ... I mean if I can find Amy a chair. Luckily enough I wasnt too thrilled with the seating options. The chairs I thought were perfect were too small, and the other ones (that would work in my house) were not comfortable. So nothing for me, I guess Ill look for Amy now. I feel like Goldilocks sitting in all these chairs. Too big, too small, too hard, too upright, too blue, too scratchy...ohh, look at that lamp! Ohhh look at these mirrored candle sconces, is that a giraffe patterned bedspread? Excuse me sir, I see you have rugs, can you open this one? It might look great in my dining room. Do you have a cowhide or zebra hide rug for my upstairs office? What about a king size headboard? OH MY GOD GET ME OUT OF HERE, IM LIKE A RABID DOG FOAMING AT THE MOUTH. I grab my purse and head for the door, I wanted to look back over my shoulder one more time before I left, just in case I missed something. But I didnt. Head hung low, tail between my legs, I head back home. Oh, and before I go, if any of you have a smaller barrel curling iron that youre not using (similar to the one in the photo), or if you want to buy me a new one, please feel free to drop it off on my porch. Im not too proud to ask for donations on Day #3.
