Just a quick post to tell you that I lived through the garage sale. The turnout wasn't as good as we'd hoped (my neighbor put an ad in the local paper but it didn't run.. phooey!!!).. but we still made some money. I'd guess we made about $300. But unfortunately I still have SOOOO much stuff left over that I had hoped would not be returning into the house.
I mentioned to H that I might try to have another garage sale in August (since I'm planning on moving in September) and he thought that sounded like a good idea. I also mentioned that I'd like a little more help with the next one since I did all the work and he pretty much just showed up this morning and helped me sell. He said that he would definitely make more of an effort next time.
Overall we had a good day. He liked the haggling.. and the ridding of unnecessary stuff. At about 12:30pm we put all the remaining stuff back in the house and went to the neighbors for a beer. Didn't stay long because they had somewhere they needed to be.. then we went out for lunch.. then travelled around the "hood" taking down the 12 garage sale signs I'd put up.. then we hung out at home for a couple of hours... and then he took off to go get ready for his night with his friends.
I am trying to reassemble my home since I have garage sale stuff everywhere and it's driving me crazy.
I am also missing my D2. I brought her to my Mom yesterday.. she spent the night with Grandma and she'll spend tonight too. I'll meet them for breakfast tomorrow.
Just wanted to stop in and give an update that the garage sale is done and was semi-successful.
I hope you're all doing well. I may log back on tonight to check in on all of you.. if I don't get the chance I'll definitely look in on you tomorrow night!
((((Everyone)))) W2G
PS. Not sure if I mentioned it or not but I'm going to cross the border and shop at Walden Galleria with a girl friend on Wednesday. I'm very excited about it.. and can spend garage sale money so I don't feel guilty about it!!
