Oh, what a week!

Here is a tally of what I sold/passed on:

• Macbook: sold on ebay for $1150 YEAH!
• Macbook power cord: $40
• way old ibook G4: $50
• table from this side of the road: $50+$10 for delivery

The grand total around $1300! So part of the deal was that I can buy new things with money sold, but I think we're just going to stash most of this in the bank for a rainy day...or an iPad hee hee.

Here is the table...I think it is adorable and the couple that purchased this had a style that fit it perfectly.

I also donated about 5 baby toys and some old electronics to Unique. I decided to hold on to my dress and camera. Worth more to me than what I'd get.

I also went on my first thrift shopping trip to Unique Thrift Store. Those of you in the west probably are not familiar with Unique, but it is a thrift shoppers paradise! The biggest thrift store I've ever seen in my life and everything is neatly organized. I hear it originated in Chicago...which makes sense since all good things some how tie back to Chicago.

• Pottery Barn King quilt with 2 euro shams $40
• nice collection of K'nex $5
• Valentines for my boys $1 each (these might look cheesy, but my tender boys will adore these...I ran them through the washing machine)
• 1/2 a roll of wrapping paper $.50
• Spiderman umbrella $3 (forgot to put it in the picture)
• turtle sandbox with lid $5 (also not pictured)

So far I am loving this challenge! It has been so much fun. I really think I'm going to find things for my home that I will love so much more than something from Ikea or somewhere.

And I tapped into my mad money...$8. I had a $40 credit at an online shoe store and intended to use it by January 1, but spaced it. I went over the credit by $8. Mad money balance: $17.

Focus for week 2: Finish the sweater I am knitting for Simon! I will, I will!
