garage sales are my favorite. and recently, i was told that i can be a bit scary when i go garage sale-ing. of course, this may be true, but it pretty much applies to any avid garage sale enthusiast. psh. yes it does.
last weekend, i went to a community garage sale. and at one of those houses, they had a "disney princess enchanted tales deluxe castle". holla! (this thing originally retailed for around $140.) the lady wanted $30. and i looked at her. and smiled. but man. all these numbers and scenarios were running through my head. and then before i could counter offer. she said she'd take $11. fear me and my thinking process! or the eggs i had for breakfast!
so i'm wondering. am i on my way to being "the lady who brings the pain"? um. it's not what it sounds like.
see. there was this lady who walked past me while clutching her heart at the community sale. and if you're wondering whether i stopped to ask her if she was okay. well the answer is - not really.
now don't go thinking i'm cruel. because heart clutching, heavy breathing, bringin' her own pain woman, didn't need my acknowledgment. she had one hand on her heart. the other hand on her bag. and both eyes set on the next participating house back behind me. and i feared her.
the thing is. i don't have twenty-five cent cat figurines running through my veins. but i can't help to think that one day, i just might. but honestly, i won't pay anything over a dime for cat figurines anyway.
