Welcome to Monday! And I am ready to take on the week, especially one enormous and slightly overwhelming task - my garage sale. Yep, I have crap and lots of it.! I am officially admitting it right here and now on my little ol' blog! I having been pretending for years that it doesn't really exist and that all the "stuff" I have been hanging onto means something and I just might need again one day. But, I have come to the realization that it is just taking up too much space in my life and is not important to my existence on this planet - the time has come to get rid of it - I am a woman on a mission!
Over the last month I have been a crazy lady cleaning out the attic, the basement, the closets, drawers, cabinets - 10 years of stuff that I thought I needed - the pile is embarrassing! Really! I look at it and I don't remember where it came from and why I own it, I half expect Neicy Nash from Cleen Sweep to show up for an intervention.
But no tears, no regrets - the stuff has got to go - I AM ready! ( are you cheering for me?)
Now I do have a few concerns, mainly, what will my neighbors think when they see this crazy pile of stuff on my front lawn. You see, this Saturday they will witness for the first time what I have been hiding in the nooks and crannies of my little house for years. Will they start looking at me differently? Will they allow their children to continue to come for play dates? My hope is that they run home and grab their wallets!
The big day is almost here - so think of me as I sit on my front porch welcoming the treasure seekers - probably a few gawkers - and make deal after deal and wave goodbye to my stuff. Bliss!
