AAAaaaaarrrrrgh!

Remember two weeks ago, when my Beloved called the homeowner's association and asked when the yard sale was, because the sign said '9 3' which made no sense, because it was a Tuesday, and we were told it was actually October 3rd they meant?

Well, the HOA was wrong. It is THIS weekend. So all that, YAY I'M SO AHEAD OF THE CURVE I was doing? *snicker* It's now turned into EEP!! IT STARTS FRIDAY????

So we had to call and arrange to get the tables sooner, and change plans for this weekend (Wee Boy's Birthday is Sunday *headsmack*). My Beloved crawled up in the attic, and I've excavated a few other closets. We're not bothering with clothes, just old linens. We have several sheet/comforter sets with matching curtains and things that the previous owners left and we never managed to get rid of, plus all my things from my first apartment.

With extra board games and kitchen stuff, plus kiddie toys and computer games, it already seems like a lot.Now we need to move up our trip to the storage unit, too. We had hoped to put out some books, but YOWZA.

Think kindly of me, my friends. *shudder* I'm off to slave for a bit, harder thatn I had hoped, but at least it will be over sooner than I thought. Ye gods.

Got any gas for sale?

[asatomuraki.livejournal.com]

Sorry. ;)

Put Ben to work tomorrow night! (I think he just told Ron something to the same effect, so I'm not volunteering him without his knowledge.)

[asatomuraki.livejournal.com]

Thanks. It's not too bad, really. Just unexpected.

Good luck with the sale! Sounds like a lot of work. Hopefully, it will pay.

[asatomuraki.livejournal.com]

It will pay a little, at least, but the main thing is just to get mounds of stuff out of the house.

*eek*! Good luck! :)

[asatomuraki.livejournal.com]

Thankee!

*stuffs massive amount of caffeine at you* I think you're going to need it.

[asatomuraki.livejournal.com]

Yep. Just might need it. ;)

Every time I try putting effort into the yard sale, I make no money and lose most of a day to sitting around. The year I threw an old sheet out on the lawn with a collection of junk and a sign that said "ring doorbell," I make over $100, painted the dinning room, and installed recessed lighting in the kitchen. Someone actually paid $80 for the disgusting microwave we replaced. I would have been okay with someone just stealing the stupid thing as that would save me the trouble of disposing of it.

Huh, I wonder if we missed ours because we were out of town. I haven't actually seen anything in the news letter about it.

I don't know how it will be this year, since the stupid HOA didn't advertise, and didn't even KNOW when it was supposed to be.

But it is usually pretty busy. Busy as in we don't even try to leave our house when it is going on. I don't have high expectations, except that it will be cool to be rid of all this stuff.

I think te baby books and younger kid toys will make great donations to church nurseries, and the older kid stuff that is fairly small will be given to the schools for their prize boxes or sent to Good Will.

No moss!

[asatomuraki.livejournal.com]

LOL! No kidding! I thought I was doing pretty well, but losing a week sent me into high gear.

Nothing, of course, compared to your globe-trotting schedule, though. You must be wiped!

[sarah-prineas.livejournal.com]

Not wiped, surprisingly! Good thing, as I've got six more weeks of this, about. Whee!
