well, $350 bucks in our pocket and 1/3 of the crap is gone!

and someone bought the ugly ass fake plant for a quarter!

i invited the neighbor’s kids to set up a lemonade stand, which they did after school. ha. their mom was over here, telling me that she was trying to get the kids to sell their toys, too. apparently, though, stuff they haven’t played with in months is all of a sudden too important to let go. mini shag carpet bombs in the making!

but, now they are motivated. someone stopped and bought some of the toys. so, i guess they’re going to ransack their stuff to sell more tomorrow.

the little boy, he’s 6, from Bosnia, made his way among the rows of tables when he first came home from school. as he perused the stuff he said: “wow. you have lots and lots of junk.”

lol

i also learned from neighbors why our hasidic or orthodox (i’m not sure which) neighbors are so stand offish: because they are. i wasn’t sure if it was just with me that they were but today i learned that it wasn’t me, just the way they are. one guy stopped, pushing a strolling with two kids on small banana bikes (that’s what we called them as kids) taking up the rear. i tried to make small talk, asking him about where he lived, but he just didn’t want to say much. he bought a desk lamp that used to be sonshine’s and took off once he learned we didn’t have any hand tools for sale.

this bitch is beat. i got a license to hold the sale for this weekedn, and maybe another weekend in October.

forget that noise! there’s no way on earth i’m ever, ever having a garage sale that requires more than an hour to set up and tear down. big items only. the rest donations.

fortuitously, we rec’d in the mail an invitation to donate our stuff to some fundraiser for ‘men in crisis’. they will come pick up your yard sale leftovers. hooray!

and with that, r is out of the shower and i’m going to go wash of the grime. later.
