Buy our stuff -- this weekend only!

The garage sale seems to be a rite of passage as one fully enters into adulthood. Sure, you'd think that getting married would tend to make a guy gravitate towards adulthood but my fart jokes contradict that. You might also expect that having a baby on the way would catapult a guy fully into adulthood. Wrong again, that just signals -- according to a freind of mine -- that my boys can swim.

Well it turns out that a garage sale means that adulthood is full reality. Sure, I've been at least partially mature for many years but making garage sale signs is just like a drill sargeant telling you that your pushups make you look like a little girl. It's on. There's a deadline to get the signs made. We have a lot of stuff to set up and I know I'll be stuck peddling the tables of crap at least part of the day Saturday.

But who's to say how little fun it will be? I look at it as a fabulous opportunity to overhear odd conversations and view the behavior of a certain cross section of society. Yes, the cross section that feverishly hunts for hidden gems at garage sales (a.k.a. the last step before the thrift store or Goodwill).

Our garage sale, though, is different and despite what others say in their garage sale ads, ours is the best. We literally have everything including the bathroom sink (it even says it in the Craigslist ad I posted). If you expected the kitchen sink to be for sale, it isn't because it's still being used in our kitchen.

So if you want to buy someone else's crap barely used goods and make them your own, come see us as we haul our crap cherished possessions out to the semi-rural city of Belle Plaine, Minnesota -- it's just 15 minutes from the twin cities suburbs and an half hour drive from Minneapolis and it's city-wide garage sale weekend in Belle Plaine!
