Harvey and Gas

Not the gas that many are smoking to relieve the stress that hurricane Harvey has caused many Texans. This is the gas that we all use and need to get from one place to another. The closure of many refineries in the Houston area is causing a run on gas and the prices per gallon. Texas officials, say that we don’t have a shortage of gas. The lines and the gas stations that are out of gas in the Dallas area tell a different story.  The prices also went up by at least .30 per gallon, so can make the decision for yourself.

Starbucks and Work

That was a good ass muffin. That’s it, that’s all I have to say.

Okay, normally I pay for police officers food when I see them in line. I was working in Starbucks and a officer walked in and I didn’t get up in time to pay. I went back to work and shortly after I saw him walking toward me. What the fuck? He saw a sticker on my MacBook and from that sticker we had a great conversation. No moral to the story, I’m just telling you.

I listed about 6 items on ebay and sold one Alabama Nike DRI-FIT shirt for $10+$4.35 shipping. I paid $1.79 for the short and listed it last night. 11% eBay and PayPal fees, shipping at about $3.77, and the cost of the shirt $1.79. I made about $7.90-$8. Volume is the name of the game, but if you can repeat this over and over day in and day out you can win.

It was a special little lady’s birthday today! 12 years old and growing up fast.

I sold one hat today on eBay. One item a day is good for the amount of items that I have. Well, let’s look at what I use to ship, how I pack, and ship hats 1st class USPS.

I normally use a 9x9x6 box, but I ran out. This box is .48 cent at Wal-Mart, 11x8x4.

One hat in a poly bag with my thank you note. Next, it’s time to weight the box.

I always round up one ounce just to be safe. I have had one package returned for not enough postage before.

Monday, where did the weekend go?

It was a super fast weekend, maybe no faster than any other weekend, but it felt like it. I picked up some cool items from the thrift store to sell on ebay after work. The first three days of the school year had began for my children and they seemed to have enjoyed being back in class. And it is time to get ass back to the gym.  Shit!!! My summer body took off this summer.  Saturday was family day, so we went to the Nike store in to pick up a few shirts for P. Back to school madness, motherfucks were everywhere. Rude ones, bad ass kids(yes baby goats), and a bunch of in debt motherfuckers that couldn’t say thankyou (they could have said it that fast and I would have been fine) when you hold the door for them.
