I'm sorry I haven't posted in a few days... I post 3 times in one day than go 3 days without a post. I'm one complex woman I tell ya.

Anywho- I will be heading to the gym later this afternoon, so I'm sure I'll report on that later.

As for the rest of the weekend, we've pretty much spent it packing. We took 5 bags of stuff to Savers (our Goodwill) and posted a slew of things on Craigslist. Oh, can I just tell you, people are crazy when they see something they like and want to buy it. I'm getting bombarded with phone calls. These one people came over to purchase a set of chairs and the pointed at everything in our apartment and said, "Are you selling that?" "How about those?" It was crazy!

But, it's helping to pad our furniture fund for February (lots of 'f''s right there) so I'm excited about that. So far, we've earned about $150 to be added to our $1,000 budget for some new furniture. That's like giving ourselves a 15% raise in that budget category!

On other news, we cancelled our Blockbuster online membership AND CABLE this weekend. When we move to our new place, we will only be transferring our internet service, not cable. My goal is to watch less TV and so far, I have not done that. We're going to add Netflix but that's only 1 DVD at a time instead of 2 and it's $10/month cheaper than Blockbuster. Plus, we'll be saving about $25/month on the cable too... saving money and hopefully leading a more productive life in the process- it's a Win-Win situation!

I hope everyone else is enjoying their weekend.

Good for you for canceling the cable! I've only had it since July when my roommate moved in and wanted it. If I want to watch shows, I can watch them online but I'm SO much more productive without cable and a DVR... once I move from here (May/June) I won't have it again.

Kelsa you are funny. You post to say I'm sorry I'm not posting but I'll post something later on tonight. Lady, you crazy. But that's ok. I long ago realized I'll never live up to you and your three posts a day momentum.

Oh the Craigslist people. They are generally not normal. But they'll help you buy nicer furniture so I'll reserve my mean comments.

I've never really used Craigslist, but I can see how those who shop through there are like garage sale shoppers and their mania for a good deal.
