Life After the Rummage Sale

April 22nd, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

I suppose the garage sale went well, despite a sunburn and a broken vase - which we pulled out the hand vac and yes, we vacuumed the shattered glass out of the grass. Of course, it had to be right where all of the kids walk every day, so the last thing we wanted was to have little cuts on little feet. Thoughts rolled through my head during the garage sale…the same thoughts I’ve had during my past sales. I’m never doing this again and it’s not worth it! Both thoughts kept replaying in my mind. The time went by much faster having the sale with a friend rather than alone. In the end, Jami and I both made about $100 and of course, Christine made much more than we did. By the time we had Sonic for lunch and took the kids to IHOP for dinner, that dwindled down our earnings. That just goes to show that it pays to spend a bit more time preparing and to sit out there longer. I’m telling myself again….I’m never going to have another garage sale. Hopefully it’ll stick this time.
