Virtual Yard Sales

So far I have purchased two items off of our area’s couple of virtual yard sale sties that I have found on Facebook. A play kitchen for my two year old niece that she really wanted for Christmas, but didn’t get and a futon mattress to replace the old mattress that got ruined several months back. I got good deals on both items, both items in good shape and the people were friendly enough during the whole process.

This is so much better than driving around all over town looking for yard sales.

 

School Days

It’s too bad that I wasn’t interested in History back in the days of my formal education. The old saying of “youth is wasted on the young” certainly holds true in this case. What I wouldn’t give to be able to go back to school and really take advantage of all that an education – especially in History could and can provide me.

I was telling my mom the other day that I really would like to go back to school and she is urging me to go ahead and give it a try. Well easier said then done at this point in my life, so many obstacles are in the way. Time is an issue, and although I know that you can take classes online I think that I would be better in a formal classroom situation. And of course money is a big issue as well.

My mother was telling me of all the financial aid information that is available right online, she even tells me that there is help for left handed students which is way cool since I am left handed. She is going to send me a couple of links to some websites that she was telling me about with this type of information for me to take a look at. I’m getting excited just thinking about going back to school. Where there is a will there is a way, right?
