getting rid of the 'stuff'

I am sitting in our driveway right now, while we are holding a garage sale. Here are the things that have ran through my mind this morning (and the last few minutes):

  • Novelly house was much more convenient to have a sale. The driveway and yard held a lot more stuff and did not have a slant to deal with. Location there was much better than here. We are off the radar a bit. But we have a nice shady area to sit right inside the garage!

  • With a newborn, you will need the extra help. I can't put out much stuff while trying to feed a baby.

  • It is hard to sell toys of the child who keeps running around taking them back into the house.

  • Nobody should EVER give us pennies when buying something. Okay, maybe if you are five - but not a fifty cent item from an adult woman. They went right into Lola's piggy bank.

  • NO!!! The baby is not for sale - quit asking!

  • I still think my stuff worth a bit more than Marc will let me mark it. This is an awful thing - I am the worst at bitching about people who mark their stuff too high.

  • Get out of your car. It is a short walk to the driveway. Can you really see everything anyway? (I am guilty of this maneuver.)

  • Nothing in the garage is for sale. After you ask, you can quit checking out stuff out. Makes me nervous.

  • Lola is a great help in selling. I think people are just taken with her, "Good Morning!"

  • I have had way too much coffee this morning.

  • I should have countered $7 on the baker's rack that I just sold.

  • I was hoping that our neighbors would come out and meet us. This was part of my intention in having a garage sale after we moved.


I think I better go....my body is telling me that Sidney will want to eat soon. If you are reading this on Sat morning, get your arse over here and buy some of our stuff!
