Getting Ready For Saturday.

Griffin and I went to the YMCA yesterday to swim in the "big pool". We met up with our friends Keisha, Damion and Darius ... it's always so nice to spend time with them.

There were ALOT of people there. We saw a few other people that we knew, and some familiar faces from last summer. We swam about 2.5 hours and then left for home. Griffin fell asleep on the way home. He took a good long nap and that allowed me time to work on yard sale stuff.


(This is the last reminder for the yard sale on Saturday ... I promise it's the last time I post it ... and yes, I went in and corrected the word "toddler" on our signs before posting them)

If I have some time, I'm thinking about making some punch art daisies, put them in a little baggie, adhere my business card for missymadeit.com and have some little gifts available for my yard sale customers. Is that silly for a yard sale?

And while I'm talking about the yard sale ... I have a little bit of a rant. I'm usually a pretty positive person ... but c'mon we can't be Mary Sunshine 100% of the time right??

So ... here's my rant ...

Earlier in the week I had posted a bunch of yard sale flyers around town at different businesses that have community bulletin boards. Well, yesterday Griffin and I went to the local grocery store to pick up a few things. I had posted one of our flyers at this store ... and I looked to make sure it was still there. It was there alright ... but almost covered up by everyone else's yard sale flyers. And, I had posted ours with four of MY OWN push pins ... and when I went there our flyer was left with only one push pin. When I posted our flyer I made sure not to cover up anyone else's flyers ... ughhhhhh ... I'll admit, I was a little (read LOT!) mad. So, what did I do? I re-organized the entire dang bulletin board. That way you could read everyone's ad and no one was covered up. Why can't everyone be respectful? C'mon it's a yard sale ad for heaven's sake ... let's respect each other here. Okay ... rant over.

I'm hoping our yard sale is a success ... we are setting up in a very busy area of town that has a lot of drive by traffic. We've advertised in the local newspaper, posted flyers & signs around town, sent email alerts to over 2,000 interested "yard salers" via local Yahoo Groups, and advertised via word of mouth as well.

Wish us luck on Saturday ... will ya???
