Yard Sale!!

Oh. My. Goodness.  Everything got put out and priced.  The signs were hammered onto the neighborhood light poles yard sale posts.  The event was posted on Craig's List.  The doughnuts were purchased (although every time KB is in charge, it seems like the boxes she brings only have 11 doughnuts in the box - a mystery, for sure).  The UP Team were all clad in our UP Team shirts (including someone who managed to find it, possibly in her dirty clothes hamper).  Anyhow, the good news is that the rain stayed away.  And that resulted in the crowds coming in.  Yay?!

To put it mildly, we were busy.  Which is a good thing.  Unless you're trying to haggle and price with your customers, which I hate.  Because apparently $3 is too much for a bag of stuff, but $2 is perfectly fine. Anyhow, by the end, we were all exhausted and hot (not in the good sexy way) and starving.  So while we inhaled our lunch, we told our final customer she could just grab a box and fill it up and take it for free.  This was after we loaded up another customer's truck with who knows what for $10.  Needless to say, by that point we were over it - hopefully forever!

In the end, we made enough to finish off the team's donation quotas and cover our hotel costs for the 3-Day.

And hopefully have all resolved to NEVER DO THIS AGAIN.  We did promise to keep each other from doing this again, and are thinking of starting a support group.

And the good news is that we didn't have to sell any granddaughters!
