I Hate Having Yard Sales

Nevertheless, I am having one on Saturday.  It became super-official today when I ordered the tables.  Yes I order tables.  Nobody has enough usable tables and junk sells better if it's off the floor.  It at least gives the appearance of something worth handing over some cash for.  And it's easier to sort the glut of junk we (the Udderly Pink team) have managed to cull from our homes.  Again.

So the question is, WHY ARE YOU HAVING A YARD SALE IF YOU HATE IT SO MUCH?  Basically, I am having it for the following reasons:

1.  The last time I had a yard sale, I swore by everything I know that I would never ever have another one.  For sure and for realzies.  That alone should have been an indication that I would have another one, possibly in the same year.  So this time, I am saying that I am having another one, date to be determined.  And I'm leaving it at that.

2.  Apparently the junk that was in my house and didn't warrant a yard sale position last year has now multiplied into an even huger plethora of stuff.  So I must get out the stuff that didn't make it and all of its junky offspring, before "Hoarders" calls and tries to film my house.

3.  Apparently the other members of Udderly Pink have also had the junk virus hit their homes, and they too have hoards of junk that must be excised from their homes.  Wonder if we picked up that virus from the 3-Day ...

4.  And then there's the other family members who have dumped generously donated their crap into my sunroom.  Yep, they're "helping the cause."  And getting their house cleaned out in the process.  Aren't they benevolent human beings?  They must have had excellent mothering.

5.  And finally, the real reason we're doing this is to raise money for our 3-Day Breast Cancer Walk, this time in Philadelphia in September.  If for some reason you can't make it to this bleepity-bleep wonderful occasion of a yard sale, feel free to donate your hard-earned cash to members of our team.  You can do that if you click here on Udderly Pink.  I've reached my goal, but my team members can use your help.  And your donation will help someone who's been diagnosed with disease and those who love her.

So, in conclusion, the yard sale is at my house this Saturday from 7am until noon.  Come and unload some of that money you've been stashing in that sock drawer.  Oh, and be sure to come to my next yard sale.  Because I'm having another one.  For realz ...
