SUCCESS LOSING MONEY
WELL SHE'S GONE TO FLORIDA FOR A WEEK. AFTER 15 MINUTES OF INSTRUCTIONS, AVERY GOT INTO OUR DAUGHTER'S CAR AND LEFT FOR O'HARE. THIS WAS AT 2 PM. AT 2:30 SHE CALLED TO SEE WHERE I WAS AND WHAT I AM DOING. OF COURSE, I WAS TRYING TO TAKE A NAP SINCE I GOT UP AT 6 TO FINISH GETTING READY FOR THE GARAGE SALE.
THE GARAGE SALE STARTED SLOW, THEN REALLY PICKED UP. AVERY BEGAN TO PANIC AT FIRST, AND STARTED REDUCING SOME PRICES. I HAD TO TAKE THE MARKING PEN AWAY FROM HER, BECAUSE IF SHE CONTINUED, WE WOULD BE PAYING PEOPLE TO TAKE THE MERCHANDISE.
WHERE ELSE CAN YOU SELL $6000 WORTH OF GOODS, MAKE $516 AND CALL IT A SUCCESSFUL SALE. ACTUALLY IT WAS A LOT OF FUN, AND PEOPLE WERE VERY CORDIAL. MY FAVORITE WAS THE GUY WHO LOOKED AT MY GOLF CLUBS FOR THE LONGEST TIME, THEN HAD TO GO HOME AND THINK ABOUT IT. IN THE MEANTIME, SOMEONE CAME IN AND PAID FULL PRICE. HE HAD GIVEN ME A DEPOSIT, LEFT THE CLUBS WHILE HE WENT TO THE ATM TO GET THE REST OF THE MONEY. IN THE MEANTIME, CUSTOMER NUMBER 1 RETURNED TO MAKE AN OFFER. HA HA! TAKE UP TENNIS.
WELL, I GUESS I'LL WHIP A MACARONI CASSEROLE OF SOME SORT AND A SALAD. I'LL PUT SOME MACARONI ASIDE FOR MACARONI SALAD TO HAVE WITH MY LEFTOVER SUB TOMORROW. TRYING TO GO TO SLEEP TONIGHT SHOULD BE FUN. OH WELL, THINGS COULD BE WORSE.
