I went yard saling a couple Saturdays ago looking for an exersaucer for McKenna. I found a nice tall bookcase for only $15 and a huge rolling scrapbook bag for $7. And look what I found at my last yard sale!
It wasn't marked with a price, so I asked the lady what she was asking for it. She said "Fifteen dollars. Is that too much?" Rookie mistake. Never ask "is that too much". It opened the door for negotiation. So I said "how about $10?" She, of course, took the offer. Did I take advantage of her?...maybe. But I'm still thrilled to have received such a deal! The exersaucer is in almost perfect condition. McKenna loves it! However, she's still too small to play with the toys. She usually sucks on the fabric seat (which I think is gross and I pull her away when I see it). I think she likes the view and can be up with her family. Anyway, I just had to brag about my deal. I wonder if I could have gotten it for $7? Hmmm....

Uh oh. Which sister is making you self-conscious about your blog postings? I hope it ain't me!
I LOVE your blog postings! It's the day to day stuff that is the greatest! Keep it up! If we all waited for something cool to blog about, there wouldn't BE blogs!
I second the whole "day to day stuff make the blogs" comment! I like reading your blog no matter what it is!!
The only problem I have is everytime I read it- I end up being jealous :) How did you get such an awesome deal!! You're calling me next time you go Yard Saling!! Way to go though- and no, you didn't take advantage of her- she opened that door!!
