Garage Sale

  • Oct. 5th, 2008 at 11:35 AM

Color us insane but my husband and I have decided to hold a garage sale this coming weekend. It’s a lot of work and not a lot of fun but mama’s gotta pay bills and there aren’t any money trees in our backyard!


There is no doubt that we could fill a garage with plenty-o-stuff but first we must clean out said garage. It’s not that bad, mind you, but we do have a few boxes of stuff lying around; why not mark said stuff and get rid of it?


My husband, son and I are all collectors....hoarders, if we’re keepin’ it real. We don’t really *need* half of what we have but it’s so darn comforting keeping it around, until the clutter starts to get on my nerves.


So, why not kill two birds with one stone and make a few pennies while transferring our stuff to another needy soul? Time’s-a-wastin’ so I’d better get to work!

My sister-in-law is gearing up for a yard sale, too. Actually, in her case it will be a barn sale. :)

You have to wonder how did we get ALL this stuff? When we moved 4 years ago, we took over 20 pickup loads of stuff to the dump, and another 3 pickup loads to the computer recyclers. Yep, three big loads of monitors, CPUs, and printers, not to mention various and sundry cards and whatnot.

And after all that, now I'm already overloaded AGAIN! What's with that??? And I agree, you might as will make a dollar or two and get it out of your hair.

Hi, Jacquie! It's good to know we're not the only ones. ;) I've moved at least nine times in the last 20 years and you'd think I would have learned to live simply by now. HA! I guess we both love our creature comforts, eh?

Good luck with that! I'm not very good about selling stuff. I'm so attached to everything we own. Actually, we did go to a garage sale a few months ago...didn't have time to get through everything that I needed to get rid of, but I did lose a few pounds!

good luck with your yard sale!

Thanks, Amber! Let's hope I can lose a few pounds along with all the stuff!
