Let’s start off with the bad news that I received this morning-
my mom called and told me that the people who are buying her house had backed out at the 11th hour
(apparently the husband was layed off from his job)
So that’s terrible news of course- but what makes it infinitely worse is that fact that my mom held a garage sale on Saturday- and sold all of her living room furniture, dining room furniture, and her washer and dryer-
plus my sister came to town to help box up the ENTIRE house.
My mom was actually happy this weekend- packing up boxes for storage and selling stuff to move to my Aunt Sharon’s until she finds a job.
Things were looking up…..
Well she called me- obviously upset- and I couldn’t comfort her because 1) it made me cry 2) i was at work and couldnt really have a full-on discussion.
THIS SUCKS!
Well at least she made TONS of money off of the garage sale (not including the furniture/appliances she made 400ish).
I sold a bunch of clothes, purses, shoes, beauty products, old barbies, and random stuff from my storage boxes.
I made $64.50 and sold everything for .50 cents except for a chair and my stereo for $5 a piece.
I figure- the lower you set the price- the more likely people will buy more than one thing- and then I won’t have to haul it to goodwill.
I had a pretty good game plan because I had one bag of stuff leftover- from like 8 times that to begin with.
Note to self:
next time, take clonopin before garage sale starts.
After the garage sale, I came home and took a luxuriously long nap then a shower-
I picked up Bastian and ate at Pei Wei (Mongolian Beef) and then attempted to go to the Secret Tattoo Art Show at the Continental Club. Unfortunately, Bastian refused to pay the $10 cover so we bailed.
I also wanted to go see Jacob’s rap group- Balls Deep- at Boondocks but I didn’t want to go alone.
(unfortunately I was unaware that my friends had actually gone)
Instead, we watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall and then crashed.
Sunday- I woke up and withing 5 minutes of being awake I decided I would go to a movie by myself.
I ended up at the 1pm showing of Slumdog MIllionaire (I woke up at 1245).
THAT MOVIE IS SO GOOD!!!!!!! Seriously. If you haven’t seen it- or even heard of it- SEE IT.
If you hate it, then I will buy you a pizza. —Which I doubt anyone would hate it because its seriously marvelous!
Afterward, I went to Onion Creek with Candace and Lauren to have some drinks and eat an OC Poboy. DELICIO.
I had forgotten how much I like Onion Creek but they do not serve liquor just beer and wine…
We stayed there for a few hours until Dannipants and Mike joined us…
I eventually bailed out and went home to watch Rock of Love Bus.
Thank god the crying porn star was kicked off!
I need to start carrying around my camera.
Pray for my mom. thanks.
