I Can't Get Rich This Way

You know its starting out bad, when its raining on your garage sale day. We needed the rain, but... Now the really bad news, its truly unbelieveable, we made $1.50 today on the garage sale. Yes you read right, $1.50. We had a total of 3 people stop, with one actually purchasing. Now, you all know I really don't want to waste my whole day tomorrow at a garage sale and make no money! Its at my daughter's house, you remember our great strategy, the busy street? I can't even get my housework done! (Yeah, like everyone knows I'm on vacation so who does work).

The best part about the sale was I got to spend time with 2 of my daughters all day. I rarely get to spend time with my oldest Jessie since she has moved out. Her company was more than worth the big $1.50 sale. Heck to tell you the truth, she sold $1 and I actually sold 50 cents. Tomorrow, I'm selling all of my stuff full price at that. (Don't wake me from my dream, I'm on vacation)

Fridays aren't usually good garage sale days. Today should be better plus today should be cooler. I had two 95 degree days for my yard sale!

I really want to laugh because I recently read a blog that made $5 bucks and people thought they were crazy for going for one more day. Well really you have to you know? You did all that work and it is all set up. Well just don't spend all your dough in one place. lol
