GAY YARD SALE


OK, Enough with all the crap. I have way too much stuff that holds way to many emotional attachments, and they need to be got rid of immediately. all of it if I could.... Sale, sale, Sale

Last night Rachael called and we talk and talk and talk all night long,,,,,,
,,,,, then we sang,, real 1970/s songs that I definitely grew up with, as did Rachael,, but she is not near as old. Don't let her fool you,,, she can too sing. Even if she was depressed, it is always good to sing a good depression away. We talked about the seriousness of depression yet I had a blast, and got to thinking about my up coming yard sale,, unbeknownst to her,, but she somehow switched a light on inside of my head that said,, get it all out. And I am going to....

My witchy friend Kim and her beau came over and I got an early start by selling all kinds of stuff to them. Got rid of alot. and I want to get rid of more,, Hell, I wish I could just open the doors and let people walk through,, but these yard sale nutwings I have dealt with before,, too many sticky fingers as it is,,, no need to tempt fate.. so, I am spending tonight hauling as many things out into the yard and driveway as I can. I have 3 huge tables that have umbrellas,, and it should be the BIGGEST AND GAYEST garage sale around for miles,, I was slack on the signs but have a newspaper ad and that usually is enough. We will see.

as I emotionally detach myself from all of the years of STUFF....... it feels like peeling mud off after a day/week of working in the fields... EVERYTHING I OWN is Magickal in someway in my pantheist mind. I am taking my Sacred Items and rethinking what they mean to me now,, are they still the effective items they used to be,,,,,, if not,,,, in the box,,,, FOR SALE OLD SACRED ITEMS,,, all for a dollar.... or two.
Scares me to death,,, don't know how I am doing it.
I always try and tell people the stories of the items,, but sometimes it is lost in translation and the hustle of the first 'real' pro yard salers. Sometimes I will freeze and say some Outrageous price that I know they will not give me,, nor will they even counter offer,,, cause I can't get rid of somethings,, TOO ATTACHED

but not this time,,,

I am letting it all go,, and my neighbor who is also doing this with me,, I may have to call her over to make me do what she does near the end,,, $1.00 any item,,, for an hour, then FREE>
gotta go,,
To make room for NEW,,, OUT with the OLD.

I always have people tell me,, you have the most unusual things,, and I do,, I have a real collection of stuff,,,
Alchemy symbols in very cool art form on plaques,,,Gods and Goddess, Totem items, My tiny glass jar collection that held all my herbs,,,, ( I dumped all the herbs in a bag for a ritual BURN),,, my Herb BOX which really is a little liquer cabinet that is shaped like a barrel cut in half. real cool, Tarot cards, drums, Art pictures out the ass, more pictures and frames,, and this doesn't include all of the canvass that Giovanni painted,, which are to go too. ,, computer stuff, printers, tables, chairs a bust of the god ZEUS,, whom may have to go as Moses depending on the person. a cool dancing Shiva statue, wicker tables, jade trees, all kinds of esoteric symbols and knick knacks,,,
what does not sale goes to Ebay if it is a 'sacred' thing,, the rest is yard sale,,, $1.00
PURGING
and
doing the Spring clean out in the fall,, guess not only is my sleep messed up ,, my sense of seasons is too,, feel like I need a Spring clean.....

So everyone wish me luck,,, will be bushed by the end of the morning as I don't see sleep coming on anytime soon and got to much to do... so back to looking in closets,,,,,, You know queer stuff is in closets sometimes,,, and this homo is doing a big
big OUT!!!!!!!

How the hell did I inspire a yard sale? My garage is filled with crap right now. I meant to have one beofre school started, then I got busy feeling depressed... then I assumed it was too late. I should run an ad and open my garage doors. I feel like spring cleaning too. It makes semse to srping clean in autumn... because whatever you hang on to, you'll be stuck with all winter... not a big deal in warm states, but here in wisconsin, everything hibernates.

Ill take a giovanni painting. How much? I don't even need to see it... just pick out the one you think I'd like best and tell the least you'll accept for it (I call that the "good-guy" discount!)

Every time I have doubts about the Creator I find God in human beings. Thank you both!

And I hear you have a very sexy southern accent!! Woo hoo!!

Yes, I think we can all relate to having too much crap! But a gay yard sale is a hoot, and so original. Wish I could bring over some of my junk as well.

Have a good weekend!

I'll totally take one! The only "art" in my house was purchased at Wal-mart... the only cool shit I have was bought at thrift stores... and no body thinks it's "cool shit" except for me!
