not my first idea of fun

So we kicked off the weekend with a garage sale.  I have never been the garage sale type, no real reason I just can never pull it together. With the move last year I had a good amount of stuff that was worth selling.  Grandma Jeanie was having her seasonal garage sale and suggest I have one...with all her marketing I knew there would be a crowd.  Grandma Jeanie is a serious garage seller, she has sneak peaks and tags everything with those tags with the strings.  Her set up was the Neimans and mine (and my neighbors) was the Walmart.  I started Friday night (after going through taco bell, yes terrible, but placed the whole order and got to the pickup window and had no wallet....no checks at taco bell!) and with the southern help went with a color coding sticker system.  It worked well.  Builder informed me that garage sales start at 6:30-7am according to Grandma Jeanie...seriously.  Yes there were people waiting at 7am.  Builder was the cashier and I pushed the sales.  Really no pushing was needed, we had crowds for our little sale.  Of course are prices were priced to sell but things were selling.  The clothes especially.  I was so happy to sell the rugs that Otto had made holes in...I say happy..bittersweet to spend 200 on a rug from pottery barn and sell it with a hole for $15.  Builder reminded me all am that there was no profit as we had spent way more to get the stuff...depends how you look at it right. haha!  I got great use out of most (not all) of the stuff,better to get a few dollars back and have a clean storage room, right?!  Again we did not have a ton of stuff so after around 150 look through it all, by 10:30am we were done!  2 bags to goodwill and napping by 11!!  Getting ready for the 1st Tiger tailgate.  Not an overly exciting game since McKneese State is not division 1 but we love the new seats (oh Angela in your event staff shirt, we do not miss you)!  MIZZOU RAH!
