Makin' Money for the Man..the Irish Man


(Scroll down for my Wordle!!)

Yep, I am having a yard sale today and tomorrow! I will be slaving away trying to rake in a few bucks, selling off everything we own so I can continue to afford Irish dance. I will catch up with ya'll on Monday! Got any yard sale horror stories for me? What about lucky yard sale stories??? Anything???

Before I go, I want to share this delightful tidbit that I happened upon while visiting my friend, Ladystyx! Do you like Chick-Fil-A? Do you enjoy their tasty chicken sandwiches with pickles and a nice cold Cherry Coke as much as I do?? Then be sure to click one of those linkys! You will laugh your pa-tootie right off! Seriously, go check it out!!! Even if you have never heard of Chick-Fil-A it's worth checking out because it will give you the giggles! My kids and I can't stop watching it! (just scroll down a little when you get there!)

Have a wonderful weekend!


Don't forget to join Shannon over at Last Shreds of Sanity for her Week-end Wordles!

As long as you don't sell your computer. ;o)

The best yard sale I ever had was with my mom. Before the sun rose, we blew up balloons and hung them everywhere. In the glare of daylight, we realized that they looked like blown up condoms. Hanging EVERYWHERE. ACK.

Good luck with your garage sale! I know how much work they are to do. I have them about every 2 years which means I am due this year. I'm skipping though. Maybe next year.

I saw that vid at her blog for Chick-Fil-A and it was hilarious!

You will do fabulous darling!

Seriously..I have had great luck with the yard sales I have had. Made almost $500 one time. (I had a lot of baby stuff to get rid of). There was one time though..I was helping a neighbor with her yard sale, and two of her 'customers' back into each other. One of the drivers was so upset over the whole ordeal she dropped the glass table she had just purchased, breaking it. She demanded her money back. After discussion, my neighbor agreed to give her half back. As the table was still usable, it just need a glass insert. Silly people!

Good luck and I look forward to hearing about your success!

Good luck with your yard sale. We have been fairly lucky as of late in the way of money coming in but the horrors are the people who will try and steal from you. YES! I have caught people trying to walk away with stuff. Like paying 50 cents for a shirt is just too much! But I don't let it go and usually they are guilted into buying more.....lol

Have a great weekend!

Arrrghh! Yard sales. People haggling with you over a toaster that already costs a dime! I hate them! They are so much work and people are so cheap. I ran an ad once with a start time of 7:30 am and people started ringing the doorbell at 6:00 am. Yard sale people are nuts! Hope you get some good sales!

Good luck on your yard sale. I want to have 1 this year & sell all the old baby stuff. I love Chick-fil-a, but we don't have 1 in our mall. I want to go to the other mall & eat there soon. I've been missing it.

Not Me Monday! I Am NOT Adding More Prizes to My Monster Giveaway..or am I???

NOT ME Monday is brought to you by the fabulous MckMama over at My Charming Kids . Please send your well wishes for her wee Stellan. He needs our love and prayers. Thanks! I did NOT curl up and rock back and forth sucking my thumb in a dark corner for hours last week because of the stupid surge that sent my laptop to the Geek Squad hospital during my MONSTER giveaway. I would NOT act like such a baby. Also, I did NOT cry so hard on Tuesday (and Wednesday) that my right eye was actually swollen shut for a while. I would NOT be so emotional over a computer. My son did NOT tell me I was EMO because I did NOT wear black all week and act depressed. I did NOT stand in the middle of my yard shaking my fist to the heavens and yell (in my Scarlett O'Hara voice) "As God as my witness, I will never be laptop free again!" I also did NOT roll around in agony in my yard screaming.."WHY? WHY? WHY is this crap happening to me!!!!???? Why this week????"" I did NOT feel HO...
