    Do you honestly want the answers top these? Cause, I’m not sure you do. As a wonder killer, it’s killing me not to answer them all…

    (Give the clothes to goodwill, claim it on income tax – sure you’re only benefit the 25% or whatever tax bracket, but if you over estimate the value of the items when you fill out the receipt it will probably end up being more at 25% than you would have made doing the garage sale – plus is will save you the amount of time and stress you would have spent doing the garage sale itself.)

    Too hot for a garage sale. Goodwill is the way to go. I agree about the colored jeans–but what the heck; our dress code is whatever makes you feel good.

    Garage sales annoy me because people are always trying to bargain with you on things that you are selling for about 400% less than what you paid for it orignally. “Will you take 35 cents for this vacuum cleaner?” “But it’s brand new and works perfectly…and I paid $250 for it 5 months ago” “Okay, 50 cents?” It’s just insulting.

    I can’t help you with most of these answers except maybe the vacation for next spring. Let me know your budget, where and for how long and I can check some things out for you. When I’m not obsessing about John Mayer and Ryan Gosling (ARE YOU KIDDING ME THAT YOU HAVEN’T SEEN THE NOTEBOOK?!???!??!??!??!??!) I am a travel planner for my day job. Just let me know if you need any help.
