Is it Saturday yet?

Words can not express how excited I am for Saturday. Perhaps an interpretive dance can though...I'll work on that for you. My heart's racing just thinking about Saturday! Twice a year this shindig happens and every time is better than the next. I suppose I should tell you what I'm talking about...I'm about to reveal some of my inner dork to you....are you ready?

The 14th Annual Monster Garage Sale!!!

GLORIOUS!! Whoop Whoop!!

That's right ladies! Over 200 homes of other people's crap just ripe for the picking! You can't see me but I'm shaking with excitement right now. And I will be there. Oh yes, I will....with fanny pack in tow (it's a garage saler's must have for fall '09) and a stack of ones for all these cheap arses.

{My radical fanny pack! Don't hate.}

Now I know some completely crazy people out there don't like garage sales. I get it. I however, LOVE them. Ahhh, the thrill of the hunt!! Because you see, I'm no rookie. No sirree. You're talking to a seasoned veteran right here.

{I wish I had this to place upon my dome}

Paying full price?? BAH! Not this girl. I was born with the wheelin'n'dealin' blood. The peso pinching runs deep in my veins (at least when it comes to garage sales because they're SUPPOSED to be cheap). PLUS, the area where this is held is fabulous! Because yes, I have garage sale standards. I don't go to just any dive to shop. Straight past the ghetto and into the gated communities is where I venture! It is in such a beautiful upscale neighborhood and I can't wait to take their gently to mildly used possessions at a bargain. I've got some kids rooms to decorate up in this piece!! This is the part where I do a mildly wicked chuckle and rub my greedy hands together.

Hopefully I'll be able to beat some of those hardcore early birds. You know those people. The obnoxious ones that show up an hour EARLIER than you're supposed to, trying to gaffle all the good stuff, usually right in the middle of when you're setting up shop. The best is when they just roll by slowly without even stopping. They check out the goods from a distance because heaven forbid they waste any of their time!! Hello, ruuuude. At least wave! Ughhh. I loathe those people.

But I'll be there with my game face on and my fanny pack securely attached. I've been preparing for this day...it's time to put all my training to use. Hopefully I come back with some fantastic loot!

In other news, Jordan's birthday is on Monday and I have NO FRIGGIN CLUE what to get him. Any suggestions??

And thankfully, my mood has lifted and the days are getting better. Curses to this week! HISS!! So glad it's almost over!

Last but not least...I have an AWESOME surprise in store for next week. I'm dying to share, but I just can't!!! But soon, my loves, soon.....have a fabulous Friday!
