Eighty Years (or so) To The Big Zero

My sun room is 95% cleaned up. I still have some items across the top of the bookcases but until I clean the 3rd bedroom those items will have to wait for their new home.

As you can see this room is a pig sty.

It slowly became cluttered and before I knew it I couldn’t use it. You’ll notice the sit up bench to the right. I would make my way through the maze and do my sit ups on that bench. The shelves became a nestling place for any random book/magazine that made its way into the house. I’m telling ya we have too much stuff! Or at least I do. I really want to reduce the amount of stuff I have but I am not at the point where I’ll just get a big dumpster and toss everything.

I’d like to get some value back from all these items scattered around the house. But fret not, I have a plan. I’m going to build a website were I can auction off all my stuff. People will be able bid on the items they want. I may even open it up for other people so they can auction their own items on the site. I’m in the process of working out the schema and such for the database and web design layout and functionality but when it’s completed it’ll be awesome I swear. It’ll be huge! I should probably check and make sure there isn’t another site similar to this though. It’s always good to check for your competition when building websites on the web.

So in between working on this auction site idea I have cleaned the sun room

and marked it off in my Mind Map Priority and Projects page:

On other news my Geo Metro has been retired from active service. It was time. 

I got a 2008 Toyota Corolla. I’ll take pictures eventually. But basically go to the Toyota website and look at the 2008 Corolla’s and choose the Desert Sand color and that’ll be my car.
(Maybe now women will unlock their front doors when I go to pick them up for our dates. 8^)

Here’s something cool.

The January numbers for my trek to Mt. Olympus. I had a total melt down this last week as far as walking/running goes but I’ll get back on the calves and knees and feet again this week. I maintained my other routine though.

I think I’m going to stop doing the Dips in favor of Military Presses and Arm Curls with the weight bar. It just seems more balanced. I’ll do push-ups every morning but the weight bar in the evening. We’ll see.

In other fronts the cookie jar was stolen. Well it wasn’t stolen but it might as well have been - it was definitely raided. I had to pull money out of the jar to cover expenses for the month of January. I didn’t get paid in January since in my job we get paid twice in December. It’s a holiday thing that totally screws up the ledger. Most of the expenses were unexpected bills, gas, and food.

So that withdraw is reflected in the Cookie Jar page.

That’s ok. This month will be much better. My auction website idea will see to that. 8^)
