My great friend Tammy and I are suckers for having a twice yearly garage sale. She has an awesome setup on the highway coming into town with a huge carport. We planned last month to make it official once again and I have been gathering boxes of stuff like crazy, because I can't stand for my house to be overly cluttered, and of course the girls constantly grow out of things. For me it is usually a great day to make a some money to have for back-to-school shopping, and of course getting ready for Tax Free weekend here in Texas.Here is what I did not count on.
1. The 100+ humid weather with no breeze to be in full effect.
2. That when a garage sale opens at 4:00 pm people will misread the paper all day long starting at 9:30 am
3. That my allergies, lack of sleep, and general cheerful nature would reach it's tolerance in said heat and weather.
4. I can be quite snippy and short with people when I am in a bad mood....case in point:
"What size is this shirt"?
"I don't know lady what does the tag say"?
Yup I said it....and then I was a little stunned with myself, because that is not in my nature.
5.I have learned that so far two aleve does not work to get rid of my headache....not sure if I should go for a third.
6.People will ask take off price tags in hopes that you will not remember the price you put, and will quote them lower.
7. People will steal stuff.....even at a garage sale! Seriously? That is insane people....what does that say about you if something is pretty much dirt cheap and you still steal it?
I am in fact so grouchy that Tammy suggested very nicely that I come in and cool off a bit in the AC, and blog from her computer, but I think she is really afraid I will scare the customers if I stay out there any longer.
