Maddeningly Slow

Wow, I'm adding $2.50 to my bathroom fund from an ebay sale. Not sure that would even buy toilet tissue for the bath, but it's there. In slightly more exciting news, I'm taking on a one-night tutoring gig in July for $100.

It was an inexpensive weekend for us. DH is really concentrating on his class, and I spent time in the garden and around the house. DD went camping with the Girl Scouts. Our only major spending was a plant for the neighbors' anniversary party and the rest of the money ($225) for DD's upcoming Apostle Islands trip. She'll need a few things for that including a camping mattress and a Nalgene water bottle. I'm looking around for places to borrow the mattress.

I also picked up furniture from another friend for my returning-from-Germany friend. She's got quite a pile of it stashed in our basement now.

DD has three more days of school left. I will be very happy to sleep in with her, and we'll both be happy to be rid of her English teacher. I could say a lot more, but I won't.

Looks like a lazy June so far. Tomorrow is DH's birthday, but I have to teach in the evening. I'll make something special for he and DD to have for dinner while I'm out. Now I'm out to an estate sale for a bit.

    Sounds like a nice weekend! Sorry the bathroom funds are slow...

    Too bad about the lack of snowflakes! I'm having a similar malaise. Two promising possible snowflakes -- a freelance proofing job and a consultation on someone's personal finance -- both fell through. We did make $91 at a friend's garage sale. But on the down side, I don't think we're going to earn the rewards on our latest credit card and cancel in time to get an annual fee refund. That's another $99 missed snowflake.

    I should post some things to sell online this week. I need to feel like we're making some progress!

    eBay sales have been stagnant for me the last few weeks. In a way that's been good, with the moving and all, but I'd really like to get rid of some of the stuff!
