These are just few of the items. One Lady spent $1800.00 that day and all she want are the irons. Some irons went for a $100 to almost $300. I even had a headache listening Mr. Burt going through the prices... But hey! its an experience. I am looking for another auction hehehe...

What a Week

What a week! It’s been a week since my last post. Last Sunday we went to an Auction. It's 2 hours drive but it’s worthy. Aside from the fact that I saw new town and places we meet new people. The auction is a blast. Hundreds of old or vintage cast iron and trivet. There are also hundreds of fishing stuff like vintage fishing reels, rods and lures.

Collection of a Life-Time

A life-time collection of the late Bill Norton. His wife decided put it in an auction and Scott R. Burt & Sons Auctions was chosen which by far did an incredible job. Everybody that went there got some and more. We got what we want, which are the fishing stuff and we did good considering we spend $800. We are into the buy low, sell high theory since we are selling a few items in eBay. Now I have more stuff for eBay and it keeps me busy the whole week and this coming days.

Auction Day!!!!

Good morning!!!! so excited... I will be going to an auction with my husband. There are a lots of fishing stuff in there...

Christmas is here!!

Christmas is here! It's 4:00 AM and I just arrived home from helping a friend decorate his house for Christmas. He is going to surprise his fiancee. She will be home from work around 7:00 AM.

They lost all of their Christmas stuff 2 months ago because of the flood in their basement. The worst part is, they just moved in that house for a month when it happened. His fiancee is a Christmas person. She loves to decorate the house and everything but can't do it anymore. They are on a tight budget as they just purchased the house. But my friend wants to surprise her. So while she was sleeping, we went shopping for Christmas decors and since we are on a budget we went to a thrift store, Ollie’s Bargain Outlet and Big Lots which we got some good deals.

When she went to work (around 7:00 PM) and that's the time he went to work. A friend let him borrow a 7 foot Christmas Tree and around 11:00 PM we started decorating the house. There was 3 of us and we had fun. I can feel the Christmas spirit while putting the Christmas tree together. Christmas songs was in the background and we are all singing with it. We did not put everything though. Just enough to lift her spirit and let her know that Christmas is here. It can still happen. We know that she also want to do the rest so we are going to let her have some fun too. I am so excited. I can't wait to hear what her reactions will be. I told my friend to let me know. So, as of now all I can do is to get some sleep.

And to everyone out there... Christmas is coming and in fact for some, Christmas is here!!!

Daylight Saving Time!

When I wake up this morning and sat infront of the computer I knew there was something wrong. I keep on looking at computer's monitor and I cant seems to know what is really wrong. I keep looking at the alarm clock infront of me and realized one thing. The time in my computer and alarm clock was different. So, that was it. Then I remember its the start of what they called Daylight Saving Time and the alarm clock was an hour early LOL!!! So I just set the time and everything looks thesame now hehehe.

Daylight Saving Time... Where it's all Begun!!!

It is said that Benjamin Franklin was the fist to think of Day Light Saving during his stay in Paris as an American delegate in 1784. But this idea was pushed by William Willet, in the a short essay intitled "The Waste of Daylight" in 1907. In his essay William Willet wrote "Everyone appreciates the long, light evernings. Everyone laments their shortage as Autumn approaches; and everyone has given utterance to regret that the clear, bright light of an early morning during Spring and Summer months is so seldom seen or used." This is where it has begun. The it was implemented in the US on March 1918 and after that there has been changes of the law. Just like any laws there are some inconsistency which caused some confusion.

Hmmm... as for me this is the first time that I am affected with daylight saving time. So I dont know if this will really effect my daily task. But hey! who doesn't like an extra hour in bed? Me... I don't mind at all LOL!!!

Trick or Treat?

Last night was fun. It's halloween and as usual (here in the US) kids wear their costume. Some are cute while some are spooky! What I love was the baby dressed up like an angel. She can speak and she has a bottle of milk with her. She is really cute. One boy wears what the killer in the movie Scream had. Some painted their faces and very scary. Being my first time to celebrate a halloween I am going to rate tonight a 9. I still have candies left. So I guess I still have a treat for myself. boooooo!!!!
