Dear Me,
Watching the movie, Knocked Up, Again. It's 8:45pm and I just woke up from a nap. I was a garage sale attendant today. We sold about $50.00 worth of junk that was worth way more. I understand that it is a garage sale, but seriously this $.50 and $1 crap is just crazy. I managed to get a sunburn on my right upper thigh, my left knee cap, my entire right arm, my left shoulder and upper arm, my chest and two spots on my back. I was barely in the sun. Most of the time I sat in the shade. Looking like a tomato when out in the sun for barely 1 hour is just another perk of having pastie white skin.
I am eating a bowl of lentil soup with a added touch of Cayenne pepper. Spicy...Just how I like it.
Nothing exciting happened today. We may have finally sold our Armoire. The lady is coming over tomorrow to take a look. My fingers are crossed. We could use an extra $200.
I was thinking today about how bad I want a dog or two...or three, but we are not allowed. These ridiculous Condo Association rules are just over the top. You buy a condo and the unit is yours, right? Sure. with a list of things you can't do. You can't renovate anything without putting it in writing, you can't utilize the guest house area for parties, can't park backwards. Can't have animals...oh, but wait. You can have fish and birds. So, you are a new home buyer, but you have no rights to do as you please in your own home.
Meanwhile, there are ducks walking around the sidewalk and parking lot crapping all over the place. Come on! So many people have dogs and have to scoop the poop, big deal. Some places even have you pay an extra fee to have an animal. We pay almost $350.00 a month ...for what? To use the pool and so they can waste money to keep the land cosmetically eye appeasing. News Flash. The building and land can look spectacular, but if the previous owners trashed the place the likelihood of it getting sold slightly drops.
I am going to go bake some brownies now.
Until the next Day because today is almost over,
Me

Your dues are CRAZY! (And the rules!) We paid $100-something a month, could have a dog and park however the hell we wanted. We also had a gym and lived in downtown Santa Fe. Everything else was outrageously priced.
We recently had a garage sale, too and having had many throughout my life, I know that the point is actually not to make money; it's to get rid of your crap. I would never try to sell something at a garage sale that I actually wanted a decent price for. I'd save that for Ebay or the classifieds maybe...our garage sale was an "everything's 25 cents and less" deal and we walked away $100 richer. Cha-ching! :)
