200 Blog Posts ~ Wow!

Two hundred posts! So cool! I can't believe I've blogged that much?!?! Wow!

I know yall aren't here to recap my 200 blog posts yall are here to find out how well I did at my yard sale?!?!?

I went well over my goal of $150.00! I made $361.25 and Mr. "S" made $72.50!!! He didn't even put that much stuff in the sale!!! Two chairs, a motorcycle helmet and a few shirts. The chairs were a big item, they sold for $40.00 - $20.00 each! Very nice, very modern! Danielle's mom bought them for her TV room! Great buy for her! I told her I was only letting her borrow them till we get our game room built! =)

Yall are going to be upset! I didn't take ANY pictures! =( I left my camera in my car the whole time. It didn't even cross my mind! The sale was very very overwhelming to me!!! We had sooooooooo many people stopping by! We were still trying to set things up and people were trying to check out! It was nuts! I wasn't as organized as I would have liked to be! I will be prepared for the next yard sale!

Let me just tell you - I did NOT do very well with the people that were trying to bargain with me! I felt I already had a GREAT price on my items and I wasn't going to be talked down! This one lady and her son were trying to talk me down on my (3) blankets like THIS! I had them marked at $3.00 each! Just like new - they were navy blue, black, white and gray! They wanted all (3) for $7.00! I was like NO way! I told the lady I will keep them before I sale them to you for that price! These (3) blankets were worth $30.00 +! I told her, "I think you can pay $9.00 for all (3) which was a steal of a deal" and she did!!! I had my items priced to sale! Not priced to haggle! There was this one guy that wanted to buy this decorative kitchen set that I had which consisted of a brand new apron, dish towel, (2) pot holders and (2) oven mitts - I had it marked at $10.00 for the set! Which was a GREAT deal - it was $50 new! He wanted it and he wanted it bad but he only wanted to pay $8.00! I would NOT come off the price what-so-ever! He had a box of stuff that he was buying! He said if you don't come off the price then I'm not buying what I have in the box! I told him so what! I don't care! I wasn't about to let him talk me down (he was a jerk...I didn't need his money that bad)! I told him I would keep it before I sold it for less than $10.00 and guess what - I kept it! I took it out of the sale but he did buy the box of stuff he had because he knew he was getting a great deal!!! We sold over $600 Friday and Saturday! It was GREAT! We are going to do another yard sale in the spring!

On to other things....

Saturday when I got home from the sale I was beat but there was no stopping there! Mr. "S" brother Shane came up with his new girlfriend and we had planned on grilling burgers. I had been gone from our house since Friday morning! I was staying at Danielle's were the yard sale was being held which is about a 45 min drive from our house. Any ways...when we were wrapping things up at the sale on Saturday Mr. "S" called to asked me to stop at the store to get the groceries for the burgers. I was instantly pissed about this! He went to town Saturday morning to Lowe's and Wal-Mart. Why couldn't he have picked things up? Please tell me? So I came home with a little attitude! Tired! Not in a very good mood! I had to go to the grocery store after driving 45 minutes home and then come home and season the burgers and get them ready for the grill, make cheese dip and cut up the veggies for the burgers. I just thought he could have done this since he was already at the house! I may have over reacted? I don't know! Now we are going at it! He is pissed at me because I had an attitude and that I didn't care that he had mowed the grass, put up a small shelf in the laundry room, picked up the spare bedroom and changed out the light in our bathroom. He did these projects Friday and Saturday. I still think he could have picked up the hamburger meat while he was in town Saturday morning at Lowe's and Walmart! It's like he doesn't think that far in advance...there is no initiative on his part? I feel like he thinks that is just my job...I felt like I was being taken for granted! It's like we aren't on the same page? I think one way and he thinks another and we both feel we are right and neither of us want to give?!?! Ugh! It's over something soooooooo dumb but yet neither of us will give! Why can I convince other people that I'm right but yet I can't convince him that I'm right? He doesn't see it my way! Not that my way is right. It's like he doesn't understand me and the situation! Hopefully we will make up tonight! It's more fun to make up than fight!

The Cowboy's won last night! YIPPEE!!! We really needed that win!!!

Wow! 200 Posts! Thanks to all yall for being there for me!!!
