My Boat

I've never used craigslist to sell anything before, but I realized today that I need to get rid of my row boat. We are moving next weekend and we need to get rid of all this stuff. So I decided to put the boat on craigslist this week and if it wasn't gone in a week, I'd take it to the dump. It's been a good boat for me, but it's just not practical to live in an apartment with a boat (or so I hear).

So I took the ol' boat out of the garage, took a few pictures of it, and even found a couple pictures from years ago when I took it to the beach. I adjusted the photos to improve contrast, add a vignette, etc. I wrote a short little blurb about the boat and posted it all to craigslist.

The result? I received the first call 10 minutes after submitting the post. I ended up getting 8 calls (two after I took this screenshot) about the boat and having someone show up on my doorstep to haul it away in a truck. All of this happened within 45 minutes of making my first craigslist post.

Thanks, craigslist!

He came inside long enough to get his plate and then rushed back to his post.

When I grow up...

We have a couple guys building a Tuff Shed in our backyard right now. When they first started working Rian told me, "Hey mommy! I know it. I know what to be when I get big. A Tuff Shed guy! Yay! I know it." He's out there right now in his folding chair watching them work.

I just heard him yell, "Good job, guys!" Man, I love this kid.
