HOW TO HAVE A GARAGE SALE......GROSS STYLE :)

Step #1:  Find all the old crap that you don't want anymore, but that you hope someone else might want to buy. 

Step #2:  Put prices on all the stuff.  Remember to price just a tiny bit higher than you actually want to sell it for because they will always try to bring the price down. 

Stop #3:  The night before the sale drive all of your stuff over to Amy's house so that all that has to be done in the morning is set up. 

Step #4:  Wake up at 3:30 AM, put on the first pair of clean clothes you find, and throw your hair into a pony tail.  

Step #5:  Wake up kids and do your best to get them dressed while they are still half asleep.  

Step #6:  Be at Amy's house by 4 AM.  Set up tables, cover with tablecloths, and set all of the stuff that you want to sell neatly on them.  

Step #7:  Drive around the neighborhood and place signs to advertise your sale.  

Step #8:  Eat a breakfast that consists of doughnuts, and cinamon rolls while watching the customers pick up random items, and pray that they pick up something that has your initals on it and take it to the cash table to pay for it.  

Step #9:  Sit around for hours and watch people shop. Check on the kids every few minutes who are playing in the house to make sure that they are doing alright.  

Step #10:  Eat lunch, this usually consists of hot dogs, chips and soda.  

Step #11:  When it is just too hot to sit outside to sit outside anymore, and the shoppers have stopped showing up, drive around and pick up all of your signs.  

Step#12:  Wander around the sale, and lood at all of the stuff that everyone else brought that didn't sell.  Take whatever you want.  

Step #13:  Pack up everything that remains and save it for the next sale that will happen again in 6 months.  

Step #14:  Count all the money, and divide it accordingly to what you sold.  

Step # 15:  Go home, and fight to stay awake late enough for it to be an acceptable bed time.  

I love our family garage sales, they are always so much fun!
