This weekend we are having a MAJOR garage sale. There is still so much that needs to be done like weeding through closets, cabinets, tubs - setting up tables - labeling items - signs, etc.
So what's the first thing I do????
Head to the store and grab 2 bottles of Bloody Mary Mix, a bottle of vodka, a few limes and some celery. Priorities.
I'm actually not drinking them today I just figured that if we have to be up at 7am two days in a row, watching Gypsies rifle through our stuff I'm going to need some help.

You absolutely are right. We have so much crap I could probably have a garage sale every Saturday for a month, but do I? No. I just don't want to deal with haggling, bargaining, and hassle. So, I put it in my basement, close the door and forget about it. And after 8 years in this house, my basement looks like a storage center. Boxes everywhere.... CRAP everywhere.... (candidly... boxes I don't even remember what is IN them....). There is cat fur down there from cats that have been dead for 7 years. It almost would be a blessing if our basement would flood. It would force me to get rid of it. And the crazy thing? I'm not a packrat in ANY other area of the house.... I just DON'T want to deal with the basement (I should be on Oprah.... one of those "intervention" episodes...)
Oh, wow, HWHL, I'm soooo with you! I really did get water in my basement one year (inches, not feet, thank God!) which forced me to get rid of a ton of stuff! I'm the WORST!! I seriously have thought about calling Oprah myself :(
Bloody Mary's will make the day go by better. Love the term Gypsys. Those people make me crazy. Husband won't allow garage sales anymore...the last few were crazy.
I had someone change their babies diaper in the driveway and throw the diaper in the grass. Then a crazy woman was haggling on a brand new pair of shoes I had marked for $1.00. She was so rude I told her I would give them away before selling them for less. She spit on the ground as she walked away.
nasty
I hope you have better luck.
Best have some help...people even steal at garage sales.
These last three posts make me tired. Are you having your friends stop by to cheer you while you are at your garage-sale post? Maybe you could "plant" some hagglers to fight over your stuff and make it more fun? Just kidding. What a process. It sounds like a major challenge, with pets, realtors, and incontinence in the mix. God bless you.
Suz, are you serious? She threw a used diaper in your yard? That is so VILE! (Not to mention a biohazard....)
Why are some people so disrespectful? I just don't understand that.
Hope your garage sale is going well today. Are you still drinking? Wait. Why do I even bother asking.
