We decided Monday to have our huge garage sale this Saturday in Corpus Christi. We moved all our stuff down there in July and it has been sitting in storage since then. I'm glad we're getting this out of the way but I'm pretty nervous about it already. I had a big garage sale right after college and if I remember correctly it went something like this...
LOTS of organizing stuff all over the house, price stickers everywhere, staying up super late setting stuff up in the garage, not sleeping at all that night because I kept thinking about all the little things that I needed to get done, finally just getting up at 5 am and going to Krispy Kreme to get donuts for whoever showed up, and then we started to set up about 6 even though it wasn't supposed to open until 7. People started showing up right about 6 and we tried to get them to wait until we were done setting up but they didn't speak English and I don't speak Spanish. It was out of control, people fighting over bicycles and shoes and counting money in Spanish that I couldn't remember. Finally, it was over around 2 pm and we took everything we couldn't sell to goodwill in trash sacks. I spent the next 2 days trying to recover from that experience. 2 years later I'm not sure I'm fully recovered. There is this sense of dread already filling my insides.... So, if you think about it in the next few days, please, please, PUHLEAZE pray for this garage sale on Saturday that I will not loose my mind or sell my mom's furniture that wasn't for sale or Jeff's clothes he still wants - things like this. If you're in Corpus this weekend - stop by! 2517 Quebec, but don't come before 7 am!
