Well, I'll Be...
So I posted my stuff for sale on Craigslist last night, fully expecting to hear nada from anyone about anything. I mean, I posted my apartment, heard from no one. Posted my piano; again, nothing. So I was expecting to hear nothing back from anyone on the smaller items and furniture I have for sale.
Oh, how wrong I was. WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. I guess in this case, being so very wrong is not at all a bad thing. But everyone, it seems, wants to buy my stuff OH MY GOD, RIGHT THIS VERY MINUTE!! CAN WE COME OVER RIGHT NOW?!
Not that I'm complaining, mind you. So far, people have written about the dresser, the nightstand, the lamps and the vacuum. No bites on the bed, loveseat, rocking chair or tv stand. So yeah, the big stuff is still available. It's looking like I'll be living for the next month with no light and my undergarments strewn all over the floor for lack of dresser to contain them. Perhaps it will look like a Victoria's Secret store was hit by terrorists. I should be so lucky.
Oh, and forget the idea of actually vacuuming the carpet before I leave because, well, someone wants to buy the vacuum too. But I guess that's ok, because the bras and panties and nylons strewn about would only gum up the works anyhow, and then NO ONE would want to buy and and then where would I be?
Still nothing about the piano, but I have an alternate plan for that... let's just hope it works. Want to peruse the for-sale items?? Link to my specially-created for-sale page is over there on the left-hand sidebar. Happy shopping!

Good things happen to good people for good reasons. I'm so glad you got the response you hoped for...one less stress during a stressful time.
Dropped in from Michele's today. Glad I did!

Hey Zee,
Did I ever show you this?

I tell you, even though it's almost 8 months old, I'm still reeling.
Just thought you'd be interested.

Hey stranger! I'm back from Egypt. How cool is that, that you're getting lots of response? As long as it's a sea of clean underwear on the floor, it's all good ;-)

I read Craigslist offerings, but never bother to actually pursue the items that interest me.
