For weeks I've been avoiding sorting out the basement as I have been terrified of the possible horrors it contained. But yesterday I finally tackled the dreaded basement storage room to find out once and for all what was in this large mystery box, with help from my mom. It turned out there wasn't a whole lot in it at all. We did find a dead mouse and that was pretty horrifying, but thankfully it was in a plastic bag that was wrapped around a large framed picture so we were able to pull the picture out and touch-down slam that mouse corpse into the bin.

Speaking of mice, if you live near a large wooded area known for being home to all sorts of woodland critters and you have a dog, make sure you keep your dog's food in a sealed container. We don't do this - we just roll the bag and keep in next to the door from the garage to the house. Mice are sneaky bastards, as you can see in Exhibit A below, where they have filled an entire ice skate with kibble as shown by my mom.


Also, if you look closely you can see where the mice chewed a chunk of the leather off for no reason whatsoever. Yeah, they are kind of A-holes.

Other then that, the garage sale went fairly well, even though people are complete psychos and showed up at 7:15am and then haggled over things priced at a dollar. Really, if you are that hard up just steal it, because you are pretty much asking me to just give it to you for free anyways. If I didn't want to make money I wouldn't have a garage SALE, I would just drop it off at Goodwill for nothing.
