Adrian is having a yard sale today. I'm not enthused. It's actually coming to an end. There have been lots of old guys, including one wearing a Subway Series hat. We've sold some stuff. Some people come and look and then leave without even saying a word. I find it offensive. It's as if they're saying that we suck and our stuff sucks. If I ever end up at a yard sale, I'll remember that feeling of dejection and buy something. I mean, what's 25 cents? Buy a book. If you don't like it, burn it for heat.
I think our big score today is about $100. It hardly seems worth the work. After all, I woke up at 4 a.m. to the sound of the alarm clock and again at 6:30 when Adrian suggested that I go outside and move a table or have my man parts rearranged. It was my choice.
Probably the worst part is that I have nothing to sell. The yard is littered with toys and children's clothing. I didn't realize how much I've neglected myself. I just always think of the kids and Adrian first, I guess. I sacrifice. I knew this, but I didn't quite understand how pathetic I am until Adrian mentioned that we might do this again next week and that we had more stuff in the house.
A guy asked me what all I had to sell, I couldn't think of ****. I have boxes and boxes of baseball cards and an iMac that doesn't work. I have a USB floppy disk drive. My guess is that anyone younger that 15 won't even know what it is. I bought a used laptop three years ago for $500. I bought an exercise bike for $100 last fall and a weight bench and weights last winter for about $100. Other than that, I can't think of anything I've bought in quite some time.
To hell with the kids, I'm going shopping with our $100.
