This weekend is the city-wide rummage sale.  In preparation for the baby I've been watching rummage sales all summer, looking for baby clothes and other needed items.  It's been sparse pickings;  before today I haven't been able to find more than 3 sales on any weekend, and one weekend had nothing at all.  Today I hit 14 sales in 2 1/2 hours based on only 7 ads.  I have another 19 ads to visit tomorrow.

My specific targets include 3mo to 1yr boys clothes (we have a bunch of 0-3mo now), a diaper pail, a sling, and most of all a nice baby monitor.  If I happen to see a really good bargain I want to pick up a trailer for my bike that Alice can ride in, or a basinet so we can return the one we paid $100 for.  I already found the diaper pail, but I can always use more clothes.  I found one baby monitor, but I didn't buy it because it was too similar to the one we already have that doesn't work very well.  I'm hoping to find a nicer model for cheap.  I also picked up a Chutes and Ladders game for Alice.

In between rummaging expeditions I'm gonna be painting.  I primed the nursery earlier this week, and I hope to get at least two coats of paint on before the weekend is up.  After the first two coats I'll decide whether I need or third or can just finish up with edging.  I might even have time to do one of those this weekend, but I'm not counting on it.
