Day 1

Ok, Ok, I know, I was working on a blog about doing crafty things and all that jazz, but I've got more pressing matters!  David and I really want to buy a house but neither of us want to do it with our ever present debt hanging over our heads.  Debt? you ask.  YES, debt.  We have car payments, credit cards gallor, student loans and much much more.  SO, with that being said, I have been inspired by Oprah.  HA!  Well at least the commercial that kept running over and over again about she was gonna help this town get out of debt.  From the commercial as far as I could tell, she was making them sell stuff in their homes to raise money to pay off the said debt.  Ok, well there may be more to it, but I figure, what the heck, Im not doing anything (lol) I'll start selling all the crap in this house that we aren't using or that is taking up room.  With this, I am killing two birds with one stone.  Ill be paying off debt AND Ill have less to pack when we actually do move.  So, day 1.  We have 9 month on our lease and the goal is to raise at least $15,000 or $55 a day (for 9 months).  That is a LOT of money, but it wil take a LARGE chunk out.  But I'll do other things too I think.  Quite possibly,  I may start subbing durring the week at Molly's school.  I havent gotten the kinks worked out in that just yet, but just you wait, when I set my mind to something, I work like heck to get it figured out.  So, back to day 1.  I just listed a diaper genie that has been sitting in our house since 2006 (when Molly was born)  It literally has never been used.  So I listed it today on arlington moms swap (link here)  And just for kicks, here it is below:

I know it's just a drop in the bucket, but its $35 more than I had yesterday! Obviously I need to sell something else for $20 to make my daily goal of $55 a day, Ill go dig in the garage.  So enjoy my journey.  I'm gonna try and sell at least one thing a day for the next 30 days.  We will just say November 5th (even though I didn't actually count it up)  Wish me luck!  PS: If you have any ideas, feel free to message me!
