Inheriting Heaven

Why is it when you are pregnant that everything becomes more of a chore?!  I have absolutely no desire to clean my house like I usually do, I don't really want to cook very much (except for the occasional batch of cookies, of course!), picking up the "presents" that the dogs leave us in the backyard is definitely off my to-do list, the thought of cleaning the unidentified pile of crumbs out of the van is disgusting and sadly, blogging has just fallen off my radar all together.  (Whew, even writing that much feels like an accomplishment!)  In addition to all the aforementioned tasks, I have a hard time writing when I don't feel like it is worthy of your time to read.  I am sure that some of you don't mind the rambling and the absence my blog posts lately makes me feel like I am neglecting friends.  So, today is one of those rambling kind of days.  My musings are not that entertaining right now, but I do hope to conjure up enough motivation to post some recent pics of our first trip to the Nashville Zoo soon.  Until next time, I leave you with this...

Encores Children's Consignment Sale

I survived my first consignment sale this past Friday!  This is a new experience for me, because in San Antonio they really did not have many of these sales, but here in Nashville there are two whole seasons for consigning!  Crazy.  And when I say that they are a big deal, I really mean BIG.  This sale was in an old Big Lots building and it was full to the hilt with toys, clothes, shoes, furniture and so forth.  And there are some seriously intense people there, people with clothes racks upon clothes racks of items to consign.  How on earth anyone has that many items to sell without being a wholesaler is beyond me, but then again I guess we do live in a consumer culture.   I am also consigning at this sale and am hopeful that the amount I sell will cover the cost that I spent.  If this philosophy turns out true then it really is more of a clothes swap and a great deal!
