Sale O The Century

Today was one of those days...we spent yesterday hauling furniture and other items out of a friend's old house to help her sell this weekend at a garage sale at our house along with the junk crap gently used items we have piled crammed neatly stacked in our home.

As a result I slept the day away and it seems senseless to go back to sleep now so I'm probably going to spend a little time with Amy and go to work early.

Actually Erin our personal organizer (Erin's organizing skills can be purchased by the way - blatant plug) has set aside stuff into piles which should make putting the piles out on the lawn and slapping "for sale" signs on them easier.

Erin went out of town for a couple of days and so our primary goal is to get all the crap junk gently used items which we crammed stuffed neatly placed in the garage out of there before she comes home to see how quickly we've disorganized what she organized. Of course if we were to sell some things in the process that would be nice too.

The other issue we're dealing with is something of a moral dilemma - almost all of the items we are selling for our friend are far nicer than the crap junk gently used items we have in our home so I suspect this is going to turn into something of an internal swap meet: we take her table and put it in our living room and then toss our table out in the yard to sell...we take her chairs and put them in our house and then put our crumbling crappy gently used chairs up for sale. In the end our friend will get about 6 bucks out of the sale and we'll get new furniture.

I see only one real flaw in this plan - we can never let our friend in our house again lest she notice that she's furnished our home.

We haven't figured out that part of the plan yet....but the night is young.
