Yard sale, day 2

Today was much much better than yesterday. A lot more traffic, both on foot and vehicle. I'm up to about $60 cash in pocket for the two days, which is pretty sweet. It'll pay for my Mickey's Halloween Party ticket this fall. Been a few years since the Halloween party at the resort was held parkside... I went the past three years in a row to Mickey's Trick or Treat in DCA and had a lot of fun. Cannot WAIT to see Halloween Screams again! It's my favorite show out of pretty much all of them, rivaled only by maybe Fantasmic!. (Yes that includes the brand new World of Color. My reaction to WoC is a whooole 'nother entry.)

Buuut I digress. Can't help it, sorry.

So yes, sold a bunch of stuff, and also had a lot of interest and people saying they'd be back tomorrow. Two ladies in particular cleaned me out pretty well for about $20 worth of stuff combined, which is saying something, considering they got mostly 25¢, 50¢, and $1 items.


I did go back and buy Juli the bowling ball. Isn't she lovely?

It was not particularly enjoyable carrying her while riding my bike back to my house. I almost fell over a few times trying to adjust my grip. She's a good 11 or 12 pounder... didn't trust my wicker basket to hold her.

We had our first Crazy today as well. She didn't speak English very well but she kept talking about how Michelle Obama cares about the children, and how she (the Crazy, not Michelle Obama) is better than most Americans because she went to a local community college for 23 years, and an education is good but being smart is better, and other random things. I was insulted at first but when I finally caught on that she wasn't all there I just did my best to look politely bored and say "mhmm" and "yes" and "no" at the right moments and not smack the stacked baseball caps off of her smug little head.

Tomorrow is the last day! WHEW

Ah yes, the amazing power of the smile-and-nod! Sorry you had to deal with her. Hope the rest of the yard sale went well :)
