Garage Sale!

we had our 1st real garage sale.

(i had attempted one before, but when you wake up Satuday and see your neighbors stuff on their driveways and put your junk out too, that doesn't really count.)

this time, we planned ahead! it was THURSDAY when we decided we'd really do it. so Friday we gathered our stuff to sell in the garage and put an ad on craigslist and printed 8 signs to put out. i also went to the bank (last minute thought at 5:45pm) to get some change. (I asked for the "standard garage sale change package", but they didn't have one. However, the guy was nice enough to let me know that they would be open Saturday so I could just bring everything over to change back to the larger bills when we were done. while i am not fond of BofA the establishment, my BofA sure has kind and helpful tellers.)

Saturday, Scott & I got up at 5am to move the stuff out of the garage to the driveway. I put up our little signs and posted an "open for business" ad on craigslist and we were crazy-busy with "customers" from 7-11am. By noon, we'd packed up most of what was left in Scott's car to go to the goodwill. He picked up subway on his way home and picked us up from the bank (where i rechanged my proceeds) to go watch some soccer.

(then i went to joann and spent about half our profits on "furniture"! (more later) didn't we have this sale preparing for a move?!?)
