Lessons learned...

...at a yard sale:

1.) My alarm clock can go off at 4:15 A.m. On a Saturday.

2.) People will buy just about anything.  I actually saw someone walking down the street with a toilet seat.  Really?  Who buys a toilet seat at a yard sale?

3.) Junk sells better than clothes.

4.) Unless a supermodel walks up to your sale, husbands should not make any attempt at comparing their wives "build" to any other woman's.  Ever.  (In his defense, though, he tried to smooth it over by saying that he meant they were short like me.)
5.) You can't hide from 96 degrees, even in the shade.
