it’s yard sale day!

It’s yard sale day… actually Saturday was.  Hot off the cusp of the season premier of Jessie and I’s favorite show Clean House on the Style Channel perhaps we were energized to finally have our own yard sale.  If you haven’t seen the show, the premise is pretty simple, they come into your house which is filled with “clutter, foolishness, mayhem” and the like.  It’s a pretty hilarious show with a cast that keeps you pretty entertained.  We probably watch the show 2 or 3 times a day.  We like the people so much, we stalked found them all on myspace. 

We got up early and hauled the overflow from our marital material merger (MMM). Our possessions are really pretty sparse.  But we sold and sold and sold and made out with like $190 (a guitar got sold in there).  Not too shabby.  It’s nice to sell stuff you’re never going to actually use.

But how do we do all that we do? OOOOOH Honey! You know it’s not by ourselves.  We brought in a little help from Cate (DJ EggiP), our yard sale diva.  Who made out like a bandit! And our two new french horn playing neighbors Katy and Amy!  They made us some vegan pizza that was off the hook!  Possible vegan venture for the Ruperts?  I doubt it.  That night we pigged out on chicken nachos… d’oh!

Now I realize we should have promoted our yard sale a bit in advance, but to be honest we failed at having this thing like 3 times already.  But now it’s finally done and under our belt.  We might try to craigslist a few things (like my car) but that will have to wait because we have a TRIP TO AUSTIN coming up!  August 15th ~ 25th!  Get your game face on!
