I've never done a garage sale and in day 2 of prep, I now realize why.
Please forgive me if I'm not around much this week. It's because I'm up to my neck in awesomeness that I'm selling.
Yeah.
I said awesomeness. Cuz I don't have crap, ya know. I have awesomeness.
Reminds me of George Carlin's old joke, "Ever notice how other peoples' stuff is shit, but your shit is stuff?"
Sorry for the language, but really, you can't edit George.
Some gems that I've uncovered:
All the stuff I used in planning our wedding including but not limited to:
lists of stuff to buy
lists of presents received and from who
thank you cards for the gifts (which i did send out, but i have some left)
napkins (wth?)
our complete itinerary for our honeymoon and souvenirs.
including...barf bags from the airplane (?!)
all of that circa 1998
glamour shots circa 1997
things that my husband was convinced he threw out or lost circa who the hell knows when?
PlayStation
Nintendo with games (the original, folks)
lots of stuff i thought i lost
Let me leave you with this, it's good for a laugh. Or one thousand.
none of that crap i'm wearing belonged to me. i didn't even like cowboy crap.
Hahahahahaha! Are you done now?? No??
I'll wait.
Now?
Just one more minute? 'Kay.
Now??
Alrighty then, shut it.

You're selling your glamour shots? Awesome! How much?
HOTTTT! Look at that hat! Hahahahha!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just kidding, you look hotttttttt!
Don't you feel like you're uncovering hidden treasures!!! What fun!
The glam shot...oh my. It's actually not that bad but that bouffant hairdo sure does dates the photo!!
Oh my god... Thank you for this. I'm serious. There is no other appropriate word besides "awesomeness". And there just may be a bidding war between me and McVal.
You look gorgeous. For that era. LOL JOKING! I have a glamour shot too. ugh
Garage sale....good luck with it! We don't have enough stuff to sell. hahaha
-->Oh THANK YOU for sharing that photo. I would love to see what the founder of Glamour Shots photos would look like.

I {heart} you!!!
Awesome Photo! I hate getting ready to have garage sales, it is a pain in the butt!
I like to go through crap every once in awhile just to see what I can find.
Awesome picture! Good luck with the garage sale. Maybe you'll make a ton of money and splurge by getting some more glamor shots taken.
This makes me so so so unbelievably sad that I never went and got glamour shots. That is EPIC. I want to be a cowgirl too!
that is awesome - i bet if you put it on ebay you'd get some serious attention :) garage sales are lots of work :(
I am afraid of what I would find if I started going through stuff. We are planning on selling our house next spring though, so I'm sure it's coming.
hawt mama
Barf bags from the airplane AND Glamour Shots? Please tell me your address so I can come to this sale. There seem to be quite a few things that I NEED to buy!
Ahhhhh Glamour Shots! I never did them, but almost every single person I've ever known has...and now your added to the bunch. SERIOUSLY, great photo - glorious hair, beautiful thick makeup & the added tough of the cowboy hat... I just have no more words :)
LOL - love the glamour shot!
Love the post title even more! My friend used to say "don't hate me b/c I'm beautiful. Hate me b/c I say it. That's just obnoxious."
I always TALK about doing a garage sale but once I start organizing all my 'stuff/shit', I just can't deal. I usually just ship it off to Goodwill and sell the rest on ebay. Good luck on your garage sale....the people watching will be AWESOME!
Ok, that Glamour Shot killed me. Why did they put a cowboy hat on you????? I think I have a similar photo but without the hat but I have the most awesome pink and black background. hahaha
Oh man, George Carlin cracks me up. He died didn't he? That's sad. I LOVE love L-O-V-E the Glamour Shots. I so had some done like that. I believe they were circa 1997 too! No lie! If I can find them, I'll post one!
Good luck selling your "stuff"!
Tess♥
hahahahahaa~!!! I can only laugh.....because I have a glamour shot of me - wearing almost the same thing! hmmmm...wonder where that picture is?!
AAaaaaaaagghh!!! LOVE it! Those probably cost a fortune too, huh? Oh my gosh, please use this for your profile pic on FB!
All kinds of AWESOME!
Love George.. cracks me up every time.
We still have an original Nintendo WITH GAMES & it's hooked up in the boys room. We also have the Super & the 64. Don't ask me why. And if I'm not mistaken, I saw an Atari in a box in the boys closet not too long ago.
Those pictures are HAWT. I think I'm the only female currently aged 25-40 that never had Glamour Shots done.
I love George Carlin!
I had Glamour Shots as well, in the early 90s and my hair was WAY bigger than yours. LOL!
Oh glamour shots! So sad that their big hair and Funny outfit days are over
I'm thinking new profile pic! Also, you will make some serious cash if you sell those Nintendo games online (if they are in okay shape).
Never had a glamour shot, and now I'm sad! Can I buy yours? I like that hat- rhinestones and all ;)
Nice...I would sell the Nintendo somewhere where you get get good $ for it...My nephew has my old nintendo...He loves it...LOL!
Can I have your Nintendo? But only IF it comes with Mario World 3. That is all.
LMAO! That doesn't even LOOK like you!!
We did a garage sale in April and it was a lot of work. I feel your pain.
Love the pic girl!
Well to quote Bruce Willis...
Yippee Ki Yay Mother-^#(!)&*#
I just couldn't resist, the cowboy hat made me do it! Hope you make lots of money at your sale!
Lovely picture...
omg. i have a glamour shot picture that is SO similar to this!! hahaha.. i've gotta try to find it so i can post it!!
LuckyDame has a glamour shot? Whaaaa?
And you look fuckin hot Meems. Don't ever think otherwise. You'd make a good shitkickin cowgirl.
wow now that picture should be submitted to the ellen show you might as well get paid for a picture like that :) wow nintendo my hubs still has the og too
Dang - I always wanted to get a Glamour Shot done but never did! And now they're not around anymore. You can't get rid of it - it's a classic!
I never understood them dressing you in crap you didn't like. The hat kills me because of the half-ass way it's sitting on your head. I'm sorry.
I think we should start a bidding war on the Glamour Pic. Love the curls placed perfectly in your face the shine off of the cowgirl hat and the way your hand is placed just softly on your chin. AWWW so sweet.
When I was at my parents' house last week I was bemoaning the Glamour Shot I took for my high school grad photo. What was I thinking? ;)
Saddle up cowgirl. Wow. At least I am not wearing a hat in mine. How fun is that. I love it.
And this is why I love you.... looks like good strawberry shortcake eatin' outfit to me.. xx
I LOVE it! You need to make it into your new facebook picture!! So awesome! I love your pose too!!
XOXO

OK, how much did you get for the pic at the garage sale? I just gotta know ;)
What? I thought you were brunette lady!
Oh. my. goodness.
glamour shots! those were awesome, but I never had one done....love it!
and garage sale? say no more. i feel your pain. p.s. i always saved the barf bags, too. it''s good to know great minds think alike!
Oh you gotta sign that shit and send it to me
Ok, that is hilarious! But I can't believe you've never done a garage sale before. You'll make good money and you'll do it again and again and again!
Still laughing! I doubt CJ wants to let ANY of you have that sexy pic of his wife. Oh la la.

Glamour Shots? Really? Ok...there went some of my respect. Ok, so I'm lying...you totally redeemed yourself by bringing up Carlin. Although some of his stuff was a little raunchy even for me.
Oh my gosh, I wanted these so badly when I was younger!
The cowboy hat really seals the deal though.
I will never forgive my parents for depriving me of this joy.
I did Glamour Shots twice. Each time I got a glimpse into the future as to what I'm going to look like at 60. WTH??!!
glamour shots...wow. i think i have a few of those hidden somewhere. i am dying over the whole popped collar and cowgirl hat...BWAH haha ha ha ha. i love it, i really do.
been there girl. now i need to find them.
oh and you could get some major cheddar for that nintendo. be careful not to get ripped off...try an EBay auction but start the bid HIGH...do a little research.
I think I have the same glamour shot... EXACT same hat and jacket.. Same hair and makeup.. oh but I think it has my face instead of yours LOL
Don't tell me that that piece of MiMi fantasticness has been locked away in a SHED?! That is too good not to share with the world! I sy frame it, and display it with track lighting...
You should dress like that picture for the garage sale!
