sale

we had a garage sale over the weekend.

and i was reminded how much more i like going to other people's garage sales rather than having my own. sure it's a lot of work, but the social anxiety of having people rummage through my junk alone is too much for me to handle these days. i would panic if bryce left me alone outside with buyers. thing is i don't remember feeling like this before. i'd like to blame it on the pregnancy {along with everything else i keep pulling the p-card on}. each time a car would drive up, i would hurry and beg bryce not to leave me alone with them. i laughed at myself each time, but seriously couldn't get over it. bryce laughed at me, too.

the girls were the big money makers, selling cups of lemonade for 25 cents. they loved it. they sat at their table drinking cup after cup of lemonade themselves as they waited for customers. ava greeted everyone with a good morning and after a little while, got bold enough to even ask people if they'd like to try her lemonade. at the end of the sale we counted up the money and figured that they sold about 30 cups of lemonade. the rest of the day ava asked me at least a thousand times if we could have another garage sale, so she could set up her lemonade stand again. it was almost enough for me to get over my social anxiety and give in. i told her maybe in a few weeks we could have one at grandma's house, and that was sufficient for her.

in the end, we got rid of lots of stuff and made some extra cash along the way, which is always a plus.

goal achieved.
