About Me

My photo
Jacksonville, Illinois, United States
My husband and I have been married for 51 years. We are both retired. He loves to garden and read. I like to do those things too but still need to do something interesting and keep my brain active. I have been selling online since 2002. I really like selling over the internet and reading and writing on the blogs as you can talk to many nice people. I also sell in order to supplement our income as day-to-day living expenses. I have a grown daughter who owns a painting business, Painters Extraordinaire II, in Chicago, IL. I also have two dogs(Lady and Corky) and a cat named Bonnie.

What time is it?

Man, I sure goofed this morning. May sister and I are having a garage sale at her place today and I'm up an hour early. Due to the fact that I screwed up my alarm I got up at 6 not 7 as I planned. Since my husband and I retired we don't normally get up until 9 or 9:30 a.m. so this is very unusual for me. I hate to get up early.

When you have worked most of your life, or even if you stay home with your kids, it is early to rise and late to bed. (Especially for a woman.) There is always so much to do that 24 hours a day is never enough. I don't know how I made it on 4-5 hours of sleep every night. Boy, did I cherish Fridays. When I retired I thought that would change and I would be bored with not working any more.

Of course, I still work just as hard as I sell online to supplement our income and put a little away in a savings. Of course we always keep taking some out to have something done to the house so it never really gets to be a big savings account. Oh, well, you can't take it with you.

Speaking of work, need to put on a few listings as I won't be home all day. Hope you all have a great Friday. :<)
