Everyone Needs To Have A Yard Sale
If you want to be incredibly happy/tired/amazed/rich then you need to have a yard sale. First, where do these people come from? It's like they can smell junk...I mean, merchandise, from miles away. Waking up at 5:30 am on a Saturday was totally worth it. Not only did we get rid of tons of stuff but we got money for it! I would've thrown it all away or given it to Goodwill...now we can pay for Jennifer's class at Spartanburg Community OR buy an iPad?? Eh? Which one is wiser? Ipad, of course. (Jennifer may punch me if I mention an ipad again).
Speaking of Jennifer, she was an excellent addition to the Ridings family. I am pretty glad we got married. She is terrific. We giggled all morning at the stuff that sold..old tvs, broken end tables, 98ยบ Cd, Dave Matthews poster...just to name a few items. I was amazed that we barely had anything left. People are savages at yard sales. You seriously need to have one just for the experience.
I met a lot of my neighbors. The highlight of my morning was when an old guy who lives down the street asked if we had just moved in. Jennifer said "yes, I just moved in" and he thought we were new to the neighborhood. I've lived there for 3 years with a bunch of dudes and we were slobs. He went on to say that "the guy who used to live here parked cars in the yard, had an ugly trailer sitting in the front yard, didn't have any grass or bushes...this place looked terrible!" He congratulated me on my yard and cleanliness and asked what happened to the previous owner and I, of course, told him he died. I am SO glad Willy and Gene (my old roommates) were standing there because we laughed for about 30 minutes once he left.
I love my neighborhood. I also love yard sales. I wasn't looking forward to it at all but it was hilariously awesome. You need to have one. You will meet some raaaaaandom people. You also will get sunburnt. But it's well worth it.
