My very first yard sale

All this week I have been working around my house to prepare for my upcoming yard sale. Today was day 1 of my yard sale. It is 2pm here and I am still open because people keep coming! I'm very fortunate. So far we have made $740 in the past 6 hours!! I think it's great! We're continuing our yard sale tomorrow too. I would love it if I could sell almost everything so I don't have to lug it to Goodwill on Monday! Ha! My ultimate goal is to make $1000 and it could be possible. We are saving all the money we make with the exception of $20 for me to get hair cut and $25 for my hubby and I to go out to eat tomorrow night. I know we shouldn't go out to eat, but my hubby wants to and I feel he deserves it for working 91 hours this week!

I had my third interview yesterday with a local hospital. This one was a peer interview and the last step in the process and lasted 90 minutes!! They said they'd let all the applicants know next week. If they offer it, I'm taking it. It would only be full time for 6-10 weeks and then would go to an on-call/PRN basis. So I'm thinking it would hold me over on pay for 6-10 weeks and allow me to continue to job hunt.

  4. We finally closed it down at 430pm, but people were still stopping as we were boxing stuff up. I'll be out there again with the sun, but hopefully I'll remember the sunscreen because I am red as a lobster...stupid 100+ degree weather. The day ended with $831 and some change. We sold a lot of furniture, laptops, video games, movies, clothes, baby stuff, and purses. We're trying!! I hope all of you have a fabulous weekend!!
