I am one of those people who hates extra stuff. I despise knick knacks. I don't like clutter. I like organization and am not sentimental about too many things. So, yesterday, I had a garage sale, selling all the stuff we've accumulated here in Albuquerque. We've been here off and on for the last six years. I had no idea we had so much stuff. Mostly kids clothes and toys, which the neighborhood moms and kids gobbled up. I also had our old furniture for sale, and sold an entertainment center. So, I made about $500 yesterday, which is good. The rest is going to a local charity and the furniture I didn't sell will go on craiglist.
I really also need a new desktop. I'm shopping around now, but since I've had very good experiences with Dell, I'm thinking of an XPS. My friends all want me to switch to Mac, but I just can't bring myself to do it. Not yet.
Let's see...writing tip...one thing I notice a lot lately is sentences like this: Damn, but he's got my heart to racing. or Good Lord, but his butt in those jeans make me hot.
The word I don't like in there is "but." It just seems like an extra word to me. When I'm editing, I delete most of them, and keep a few, just to keep the author from freaking.
Hey, Mindy. You checked lately (g)? You look all woman to me and ladies love nik nak stuff. My wife and all our neighbors have obstacle courses in their house from all their stuff. And there's no such word as too much. Roosters, frogs, cows little pigs, candles, the number of themes are infinite. All we guys collect are tools, and they have a function.
