what happened to the weekend?

i spent most of friday night making yard sale signs and putting them up throughout my neighborhood. on saturday i got up at 6:15 am to do a coffee run. when i got back to the house at 6:45 the people were already swarming the driveway. my roommate L and her friend D were trying to get the stuff out and set up.

i made a total of $84 for myself, and about $100 for my niece. yay! that's $84 i didn't have before and when added to my pet sitting money, i have nice little nest egg going for a new LCD tv to replace my TV that is trying to die. the only things that didn't sell were my recliner and love seat and my niece's coffee table. some folks were supposed to come by and get them yesterday but never showed up so i will take them to good will this week.

notsoccer mom and i had plans to go out for the evening. one of her niece's took the boys out to a movie. she arrived around five and we walked to downtown willow glen. we ended up eating dinner at siena bistro. the food was scrum-dilly-icious! i had the carpaccio and a warm brie salad with a glass of prosecco. nsm had the seafood lingini and a nice glass of white. rather than ordering dessert at the restaurant we walked over to starbuck's and had a signature hot chocolate. the salted caramel. YUM!

it was a nice evening. then i came home and watched episodes 4-9 of the first season of "true blood." i am all caught up now as i watched the last 3 episodes yesterday and then watched the season premier last night. i'll have to figure something out for the rest of the season though since i don't have HBO. :(
