what a wonderful (and hot) day for a yard sale! i cleared out a ton of junk, and brought home $60! wahoo! the rest is getting listed on ebay over the next couple of days, as well as listed on craigslist. i'm not worried about the profits-whatever it sells for, it sells for. at this point, i like seeing the free space, and have ideas over what i want to do w/ it. i don't know what i want to do w/ the profits from the yard sale or the ebay sales; for the time being, i'll add it to our dwindling savings account.
as far as the rest of the morning, i was tempted to go looking at the other 40+ home yard sales in the neighborhood this morning, but avoided temptation. my friends scored lots of gently used name brand clothes for their children, only $1 per item! where else could you find a whole wardrobe for under $20? there were also deals on children's toys, but i decided that the boys have enough, so didn't bother to look around. instead, i stayed put, and sold a few more items of mine that probably would have gone unsold had i wandered around.
tonight we're hanging out at home, have carne asada for dinner, but too tired too cook. we may just nibble on what's in the pantry, and use the meat tomorrow. our main goal is to not go out-so whatever else happens, that's fine by me.

Congrats on doing so well at the yardsale. I thought about going over there and seeing all the sales, but decided it was better for my wallet if I didn't. It sounds like you were pretty smart sticking to just selling your stuff and not browsing around.
