It's really worse than it looks

This is a picture of our basement room, chock full of stuff for my upcoming garage sale. I didn't even take a picture of the garage or the farmy stuff that is sitting outside! I even have a dove cote available for sale that's left over from my chicken ark selling days!

All this stuff is just thrown every which way...I can't stage it yet since the garage is kind of damp and we don't want things damaged in the meantime...

Hopefully a lot of stuff will sell, and we can get on with the real business of fixing this place up for when it goes on the market!

Huh? I thought she was back?!?

We are back from vacation, but basically the crunch is on! I am pretty much working non-stop trying to get ready for putting our house on the market this spring, and moving to Mexico in the fall.

There is a lot to do - but I haven't forgotten the good things in life, like our property, our animals, and pancakes on Sunday morning! (They were great)

I am in a garage sale crunch so you can probably forgive my lack of posts. After all, this blog is basically a diary for myself that I let others read!

I am also posting on our Countdown to Mexico blog so if you're wondering what I'm up to you could head over there and check it out.

We're Back!

What a wonderful vacation.

And a momentous one, at that. We have decided that we're going to start our lives in Mexico in the town of Mazatlan.

I've written about it extensively over at Countdown to Mexico, so please check it out if you'd like to know more about our decision making process.

Just know that we are really excited about Mazatlan. We plan on buying a house close in to the historic Centro. It's a great city for walking and biking.

Our plan is to put our house on the market this spring and hopefully head down to Mazatlan in the late summer or fall.

I'll write more when I come down out of the clouds. That would be warm and fluffy clouds floating over a blue ocean, you know!

It's Break Time!

Mexico beckons.

It will be warm.

It will be friendly.

It will be fun.

I'll write when I can.

Hasta luego!

The Great Wall of Compact Discs

I have FINALLY finished ripping all of our cds to my computer. What a job! The picture shows 348 of them. Here's a resolution....we are never going to buy cds again...If we want music, we will just download it.

My new Zen has 4,788 tracks and 430 albums on it. Oh, and also a bunch of pictures, podcasts, videos, and audio books. Crazy!

The next few days are going to be refreshingly calm without running back into the office every ten minutes or so to change the cd...but it's hard to stay calm when you do the math on 348 cds at approximately $10 each - ouch!
