National garage sale day randoms

[thechickencoop]

Dude, you are up EARLY. Woah.

I had no idea this was a thing today. Hm. Guess there's a day for everything lol.

[BabyStandish]

Need coffee.

[ohinvrtedworld]

I want to go to garage sales! I wonder where that might be going on in our area.

We just moved to a city that is the working class sister to a reallyyyyy affluent community and I bet their estate and garage sales have some good stuff.

[ohinvrtedworld]

I'm drinking coffee and watching the Olympics. Last night my ILs came to see our new house and go out to eat and it was so fun. MIL just loved how cute everything turned out at our place and that's always my coveted seal of approval haha. She has good taste!

There is a big craft and antique fair today but we are under flash flood advisory for the next week.

I thought August was suppose to be hot and dry.

[mill23]

I did not know this was a thing! But yes, we are going to a big flea market today if I can every get H off the couch.

Good morning GKU!

Oh no! I hope it doesn't get that severe!

Morning! It is a rainy day here and I have to work tonight so I plan on being totally lazy and napping later. Also AF is finally showing up it is so bad. I need this copper IUD out so badly.

[BurritosAtEveryMeal]

I love a good thrift store or yard sale. None of those planned into my day today and didn't know there was a day for it lol.

We are traveling up north for vacation, so I have already read through a billion magazines and am now internetting. Not driving has its perks.

[mill23]

We should really get our stuff together to sell too. My parents recently downsized and we inherited so much crap many heirlooms and now need to figure out what stays and what goes. The house looks like a disaster zone.

I did not know this was a thing! H is on his way home from the Syracuse University athletics wear garage sale. I'm excited to see what he got me!

I didn't know THAT was a thing. Does it happen every year? H's grandma is a huge Syracuse basketball fan, it would be awesome to get her something. Are there pretty good deals?

[cjchio]

I need to clean out my storage closet and sell some stuff. I'm running out of room.

Husband and pup are still passed out. They are two peas in a pod.

My husband and I need to get out of the house,so I'm going to suggest grabbing some lunch and walking around the mall or something.

I might be able to talk him into taking pup to our favorite brewery later for a drink. Pup loves people watching so I think he would enjoy it too.

It does! They sell off all the left over, brand new stuff from the athletic department. Apparently it opens at 9am for faculty/staff and season ticket holders then 10am for generally public. H got there at 830am and said the line was insane and that they didn't check know to verify employment or season tickets so to just go early regardless. It's probably wiped out by now, but definitely jump on it next year!

That is really good to know, thanks! It'd be a 6 hour drive for us but we might be able to talk other family members that are closer to go next year.

Add us to the list of people needing to clean out and sell shit lol. DH always talks about want to do a yard sale. I feel like we live a little too rural to have a successful one though.

Are there any community ones you could do? We did that and we sold everything and got a ton of money from it.

There are community groups online and I have sold some stuff through CL. I am mostly too lazy and we have a huge garage so I can keep all of our crap out of sight lol.

I miss having a garage!

Well, the flea market was dissapointing. I was hoping for cool finds but it was mainly junky stuff.

Hey everyone! DH and I are at a tattoo convention in Wild.wood, NJ for the weekend. The convention center is right on the boardwalk which is nice. H is going to be working on a tattoo all day so I'll have to find a way to keep myself busy for the next 10-12 hours. This is going to be a loooong day.

[cjchio]

Please help me.

My husband decided he needs to buy new pants for back to school. He's super picky with clothes.


Eta: I should have known he didn't just want to walk around the mall.

[wannabmama]

lilsneezy we went there every year as a kid for summer vacation, oh the memories!! I haven't been in 25?? years or so I'm sure it's changed!!

MH is being a colossal dick today and just stormed out to who knows where. And now I have to go see my friend's baby alone. Awesome. Me thinks wine will be in order this afternoon!!

He is a 40x29.

And the 29 is sometimes too long. He has short legs but a super long torso.

This is my first time here but I have a feeling it hasn't changed much in the past 25 years, haha. Definitely has that old NJ shore vibe. Much nicer than Seaside.
