Garage Sale

You can tell a lot about a person from what they are selling at their Garage Sale.
Our books: Christian self-helps and lots of non-fiction fairytale princess meets her night and shining armour, live happily ever after books.
Then you see the clothes no longer fir or the dresses that you just had to get for a special occasion that at the garage sale you sell for $1 b.c it's on a hanger. The prom dress that will so be a wonderful Quince dress for a young girl.
And so this one is different there will not be a "put it back into the garage" moment. We are dropping off the clothes and small items to Goodwill. Before we take the books that are for a quarter that we just had to read, I am taking them to a used bookstore to see if we can get any store credit. They called yesterday and said that we have $125 in credit and that they took 80 % of the books that we had brought in.
Again how I didn't realize in time that the library is FREE!! And I felt that I had to show everyone and keep all of the books, like an adornment of how smart that I am. How wrong was I?

And news from the sale is that we will be able to get a tank of gas down to Florida in Feb for the Disney Princess races. Which really means that we need to start training. I could say, oh, anyone can do a 5K and so I don't have to worry about it and train. I did that once for a race. I had done some 5K's and had been no much at the gym and tried to do a half marathon. It didn't work out that well for me.
