3
3 – Length, in days, of my daughter’s birthday.
57 – Number of remaining square feet of floor space in my house after her parties.
1 – Number of new guitars I got for my birthday from my awesome in-laws.
1000 – Approximate number of hours I’ve spent playing it. You’d think I’d be good by now.
2 – Days we participated in my neighborhood’s annual garage sale.
4 – Moist dollars I received from out of a gross lady’s bra. [shudder]
43 – Dollars of change requested by the lady who only had a $50 bill on her.
1,000,000 – Grossly exaggerated number of dollars received for our junk at the garage sale. I thought about getting all Scrooge McDuck and swimming around in the sea of dollar bills, but then I remembered the bra lady. [re-shudder]

we had 2 days of garage sales this weekend, too. and after your post i had all this change ready, but i only had to use it once–to break a fifty.
thank god everyone that came to our house kept their money in a purse or a pocket. hooray for people paying to take our junk away!

Can you get swine flu from moist dollars?
It makes me shudder, too, just to think about it.
We’re having a garage sale in a couple of weeks to purge some more baby stuff. I’ll have to keep some sanitizer ready.

“4 – Moist dollars I received from out of a gross lady’s bra. [shudder]”
? – How many times you washed your hands after receiving the gross dollars?

I had a garage sale two weekends ago, but luckily no one gave me sweaty boob money. They did, however, hassle me to no end over several $1 and $2 items. Garage sale dickers! (ha … go look that one up.)

Please tell me this is a lie. For if it is not. I shall surely die.

Now I am going to worry that every dollar bill I touch may have once resided in a sweaty bra purse. Thank you for the emotional scar!
A new guitar is a great gift! What kind?

Did you give the moist bra dollars to the lady with the 50? Karma strikes again.

lauren is a rhyming fool. and she doesn’t even know it. talented, that girl is.
and i, too, am sicked out by the sweaty money. and the thought that any kind of cash someone hands me could have recently resided in someone’s sweaty bra. eeeeeewwww.

but yay for your guitar! i think a nice video of you playing it is in order. especially after 1000 hours.

Wow, 3 days of partying. You guys rock!
You have given me just one more example to tell to my kids why they need to keep money away from their mouths. (Yes, they are dorks and do dumb stuff like that) I just hope they will be as grossed out I am right now.

Little known fact: All money spends approximately 40% of its life inside either a sweaty sock, bra or jock strap.
I cannot recall a time in my life when I received a moist bill and did not vomit. If only these transaction would occur near a water slide, while treading water in the middle of the ocean, or in a dense fog. Maybe then there would be some legitimate justification for the unusually high level of humidity within those bills. Honestly, I’m just tired of throwing up each time I’m handed one of these god forsaken bills.

8 – number of days since you posted. Why do you torture us with your absense?

Doesn’t it bug when people bring big bills to garage sales? That, and when they try to talk your 50 cent price down to 25 cents…
VIDEO of you playing guitar!!!! (please)
Happy birthday.

You aren’t really working this hard, are you? It must be that iPhone.

Ok, it’s my (and NCS’s!) birthday this week. We are turning 39. I can’t speak for NCS, but I’m not enjoying the thought. Therefore, I’m going to have to insist that you post soon. I need a distraction.
