Friday, June 26, 2009 at 09:54AM Just a quick Friday morning post full of randomness. :)
First. Jump on over to the Prism blog today to see one of my favorite layouts of late! Here are a couple quick sneak peeks:
Second. Does anyone know why we say "potty" training? Seriously. That's just weird if you stop and think about it. Where'd it come from? I actually end up most often saying, "Do you need to empty your bladder?" instead of "Do you need to go potty?"...partly because I think "potty" is weird...partly because I have very literal boys. ;)
Third. If I were to have a garage sale in mid-July, do you think too many folks would avoid it because of heat or vacation? Would it be worth doing then? I haven't had my own garage sale in like forever but am finally considering it. Tips from the pros would be highly welcome!
Fourth. Any fun weekend plans? Nathan's been sick here, so let me live vicariously through you. :)

I'm not a big garage sale person but anytime my block (or surrounding areas) organizes a big garage sale, it usually in May/June or in the fall. I think the heat and summer are definitely contributors to low turnout. But I read that with the ecomomy the way it is, more people are going to garage sales in general.
How does painting fence boards and cutting/laying paver stones sound for a fun weekend? Probably more fun than taking care of Nathan when he's sick!
I don't like the word potty either- and some parents use it for way too long ;)
In my own family's experience with garage sales they always do best Fridays. I would think you might end up doing fairly well because some people might be off work and looking for something to do- good luck!
