Fun with Craig's list

This week has been fun! I started out just trying to continue to get organized and this weeks task was to clean out the garage. I guess I'm a bit lazy since while doing this I wanted to pretty much just wanting to give away all the stuff I didn't want rather than going to the trouble of selling it. I can't tell you how much stuff I've taken to goodwill or put out on the porch for various organizations to pick up simply because I couldn't deal with everything that went along with selling it (keeping it somewhere, organizing it to get it ready for a garage sale or something). I just wanted it gone! But, with some nudging from Erica I did decide to list a few things on Craig's list this week. Much to my surprise and delight it turned out to be not that much trouble and actually kind of fun.

I posted 3 things on Monday, the car seat, dryer and the water softener. I decided to list the water softener for free because it was given to me and I really don't know if it even works. By Tuesday when I checked my email I had about 20 emails on the water softener, about 10 on the car seat and even 1 about the dryer! I started emailing people back on Tue. On Wednesday morning I posted the play scape and the power wheels. Within about 30 minutes I had 4 people email about the play scape! Between 2:45 and 6:30 4 different people came to my house to purchase/ pick up stuff! The only thing left is the power wheels and someone emailed me today about it! It was a lot of fun and I'm so relieved to have gotten rid of all that stuff!! Yeah Craig's List!!
On a separate note, about the template I'm using- I saw Jennifer and Sammy's new templates and decided I was ready for a change. I tried to upload a new one and somehow lost a bunch of my page elements! I was very bummed as I had recently added some new stuff there. I even tried to save my old template in case of something like that. Anyway, I'm not totally thrilled with my new one, but I decided not to mess with it again until I figure out what I did wrong. Anyone thinking of doing that, beware!
