Sunday – Got into our attic to dig out items to sell in the garage sale BB and I are having on Saturday (postponed from the originally planned date of last Saturday). Apparently there are birds nesting up there. Ew.
Monday – The work deadline from hell that we had been preparing for and stressing over for the last two weeks. Fortunately it wasn’t as bad as my coworkers and I originally thought it would be, because we are awesome and got most of the work done ahead of time. Yet I was still quite glad when it was over.
Tuesday – Back to work, although with admittedly less pressure. Received a very cute bouquet of flowers as a thank you from a professor I had helped the day before. See?
Also on Tuesday - Got a promotion. It was a good day.
Wednesday - Took a carload of garage sale junk over to BB’s house. Stood around for a while, surveying the vast amounts of crap and the unfortunate lack of tables.
Thursday – Caused a scrambled egg to defy the laws of gravity and possibly physics, while microwaving it as I have done a million times before:
And now, I will predict the future:
Friday – Go to work. Go home, wrangle the kids into bed. Go over to BB’s and spend many many hours setting up for the garage sale. Simultaneously, drink wine.
Saturday – Wake up at the ass-crack of dawn to haggle with people over the price of a shirt that is already priced at a quarter. Drink eleventy-jillion gallons of coffee and hope to hell that all the effort we’ve put into this damn garage sale will have been worth it.
First, yes we are very awesome.
Second, congrats on the promotion. I don’t know if I said that officially yet, but I am very happy for you! Woohoo!!
Third, I am so ready for that garage sale to be done. My pricing is so inconsistent so I am sure everyone will want to haggle with me. The other day I was putting really cheap prices and today I felt my stuff was worth way more. Go figure. My pricing today will scream haggle with me. Ah well.
Congrats on the promotion!!
Yeah garage sales ANNOY me. I’m like, SERIOUSLY? This cd player that is in PERFECT condition that I paid $89 for and am now selling for $5 is NOT priced LOW enough for you? Well here, why don’t I just pay YOU to take it off my hands.
I have only ever participated in a few garage sales. And the plan was always – what doesn’t sell gets donated to the Womens Shelter…so I figure let ‘em have it for as little money as they want to give me for it, because when I donate it, I won’t get anything at all for it (well, except the tax deduction).
Garage sales – biggest waste of time and effort ever. I’m a big proponent of just giving it away or donating it all.
