GS.

As most of you know, I hold Garage Sales every five minutes.

According to the rules, you can only hold a garage sale in OKC twice a year...yet when I call to get a permit, they don't stop me, even if I've reached my two-sale max.

I think they just want my $7 again.

Anywhoo...we had one this weekend. And as much as I love to hold them, it is quite different when you have a baby.

Here are some of the things from this weekend's sale that I found either amusing or insanely stupid:

-When you have a GS that is full of baby clothes, your buyers ultimately say, "Oh, you have a baby!" HA.

-Additionally, they'll try to guess the sex and/or age of your baby BASED on the clothes hanging up. "So, let's see...you have a GIRL and she's older, right?"
Wow, excuse me but your HUGE BRAIN is making this garage really cramped. Let me step outside! Geniuses.

-I posted an ad online to sell Billy's Honda CRX. Posted it Monday...sold it Tuesday. A man showed up at the garage sale this weekend to buy the car. Though I'd never gotten an e-mail from him, he chewed me out for not posting an additional ad to say the car was sold. Wow, I SUCK, don't I?? hee hee

-We tried to sell my exercise bike in the GS also. Wanna guess how many people's KIDS climbed on this thing? Dude.

-I LOVE my next door neighbor, Ruby. Every time we have a GS, she runs over to her house and comes back with a shirt or something for us to sell and keep the money. We made a buck-fifty off her pink Gitano sweatsuit! Thanks, Ruby! (btw, Ruby is 85 years old, still drives, mows her own lawn, cusses about the crazy kids HA)

-I made peace with our crazy across-the-street neighbor. This is the one with the nutty dog and the one who told my husband that he was breaking the law by parking in front of the house. YES, the one who called the cops on us at 11:30 at night ABOUT the car being parked in the street. She came to the GS and bought some stuff and chatted with me about stuff. NOW we're best friends. Apparently.

-GS's bring neighbors together, did you know that? Well it does. If you don't know your neighbors but WANT to? Have a GS. They'll come on over. I got to meet the two twenty-something frat boys from the rent house a block away. This is the house that every time we pass it I think, "Looks like college boys live there." (Beer sign in the window.) Sure enough, I was right. They come over around 10:30 (A.M. FOLKS) carrying their cups of "refreshment" and buy all the "cool" stuff we have. Such as: Black Sabbath and Conway Twitty trucker hats, Audrey Hepburn poster, etc.
They THEN invite ME (hahaha) over for "refreshments". (YAYAYAYAY I'm still hot! hahahahahaaaa!) THEEEEN, upon finding out I'm married to a skateboarder, they invite HIM over for "refreshments". They were hilarious. Hi Sam and Brian!

We made (thank You JESUS) over $320 in this GS and still have tons of stuff! WOO!

Wish you were here!
