Organized, Illegal, Broke, & Crafty.

Yesterday I fixed The Girl's closet.

Instead of re-doing the entire thing, I bought a new end cap for the closet rod.

$150.00 vs. $1.50.

Decision made easy.

I also went through every jacket/sweater/shirt/tank/dress and re-assigned them to color-coded hangers.

Then I organized everything by type, size, and color.

{OCD bliss}

I got rid of 1/3 of her closet items with big plans to have a yard sale, make money, and shop for new clothes for her.

And then today happened.

After dropping The Girl off at Zoo Camp, I was totally lost in an area I wasn't familiar with at all.

Driving by the wrong freeway on-ramp, I made a U-turn and decided to get on that freeway anyway and eventually make my way home.

Apparently the U-turn was illegal and there was a NO U-TURN sign.

Did I see that sign?

Obviously not.

{Mr. Officer thinks that I did in fact see the sign, and that I also decided to make the illegal motion directly in front of him.}

So, with a tired, crying Boy in the backseat, a lack of knowledge of the area, and an officer writing out what was sure to be a hefty ticket behind me, I broke down.

Yup.

Cried like a baby, got my ticket (and directions home), and drove home.

The yard sale I am planning will now go to fund traffic school and fines.

Goodbye, fun summer money.

Goodbye mini-vacay to Vegas.

Goodbye everything in my home.

The bright side: I can finally use my Cricut for some awesome yard sale signs.

Happy Monday, friends.
