clean closets...stuffed wallets

Ok, I have officially been up for over 12 hours and it is only 5pm. The good news is that the 1st Annual Cheap Women Garage Sale is over!!!! We both agreed that it was a rousing success.
I made $175 and have rid myself of a lot of stuff. Not sure how much Carrie made, but considering she sold the Powerbook (Yeah!) and a dining set, I am betting she did alright.
As we were driving to the Goodwill to donate the leftovers (by the way if anyone wants some good books, check out the Greensprings Goodwill soon), we were talking about how this sale put things in perspective(s). Here is what we talked about, albeit tiredly:

This makes buying a coke seem like a much bigger deal, if you think that in a year we may have to sell stuff we really like to make back the buck.

It is a great thing to do, as we rid ourselves of things and made a little extra cash. Even though our apartments are messy in the aftermath, it is a totally different messy. As opposed to the 'it looks clean, but every closet is brimming and making my life seem a mess', now it is the 'I need to put this stuff away...oh good, I actually have somewhere to put it'.

I cannot think anymore. Must nap. Hopefully the blogs will get back to being the gripping tales that they used to be.

Oh yes, I had my 3rd interview with the company I have been flirting with, I think it went pretty well. Will update next week. Am hoping and praying (but in the other order).

SHOUT OUTS: All of our friends who helped out. Jimmy for his help with Carrie's stuff, Scott for mine.
John for lunch when we were about to drop
Charlotte for good company and stuff that sold
Booth: For taking all that stuff at the end and helping clean up
Courtney: for buying a bunch of my crap, and giving me extra!
Weningar: Water and food offers
All of our other friends who came and visited, and bought some of our stuff. We love you guys.

Pictures and Totals coming soon. Stay tuned.
