Oh no, lulu! We are going to begin the blog tonight with a bunch of card stuff. It's pretty much only card stuff. How boring, amirite?!?! lulz
The first deal to get packed up this morning was a pretty big one with Misty, our second together. Some fun sets are going to get a dent put in them when this one arrives.
We ended up in Hortonville for the party quite early so we stopped at the local Dollar General and ran into p-funk and tyler picking up table covers for the party at the park less than a block away.
No selfies with the kiddos today. We briefly found kade's belly button, but for the most part they had plenty to entertain themselves and they didn't need us (this time).
Trust the process.
While at Dollar General you are damn right I snagged some cards from 2023-24. Always chasing wemby......and I just looked: don't have a RC from this set.
Let's hope this is me calling my shot.
Sometime in between the lame trades I put my daughter through just now and actually seeing her later in the day, I reused a Chipotle box from eeeeeeeemma's graduation party to store some cards.
It's now full of all of my unprocessed trades from tcdb. There must be a few hundred trades in there to process. Well, they are processed on tcdb, just not fully here or sorted into the right boxes quite yet.
The box was just a touch overloaded so I pulled out an old trade and processed it all proper like. Look at all that set collector progress and bonus cards too boot!
Always a surprise around every corner. This was was brought to by Tim (we've done three deals together overall).
Next up to bore lulu is Mike with our first deal together.
While I forgot to take this picture again (darn it), it was a nice and easy one to pack up and ship out.
Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
The big event of the day was aria's 4th birthday. We weren't sure how much she would really remember us from the last time she was over, and spoiler alert - it wasn't much. In fairness to her, she was having a blast well before we even got there.
Just a blip on the radar.
When we stopped to get a birthday bag at Walgreens I took the opportunity to buy some cards for the first time in a hot minute.
Chasing stephon castle and teenage mutant ninja turtles at some future date.
Sent cards use the sent date; received cards use the received or archived completion date recorded for each trade.
For whatever was left of the day, I tried to find time for project work. Starting with some more tmnt content.
I decided to retire a mask today with the help of some of the pins that I got at a chihuahuas a few months back. Remember that one?
Check out red eyes for the original post - I made that under duress.
PS......I just watched that again and realized the care bears shirt and those freak shoes I paired with it in the video was the same combo I wore to the birthday party today. What a coinkydink!
Sprinkled in throughout almost every day is me chipping away at the big re-org, one way or another. Today my binder shelving was reworked just a bit and I noticed just how old it all is. There's a 4% chance that it all comes crashing down on each other.
I finished up my bruce wayne binder and added it to this wall. 1989 (batman) through 1992 (batman returns) was probably the absolute peak of my frendship with derek to keep the recent theme alive. I have zero scientific proof, but minute-for-minute, it feels hard to top.
Perhaps the next man date can take this top spot.
Look at all those beautifully completed dark knight sets too!
