Sale time!

This Saturday is the semiannual Mother of Twins clothing and equipment sale for my club. It's a fun event where a lot of the moms from our club get together and sell massive quantities of stuff. I love it for a number of reasons:

• I get great deals on clothes and toys for my boys
• I sell some of my stuff (and that money is going right into our "trip" fund so that one day, a few years from now, we'll be able to drive cross-country).
• I clean out my over-filled basement of some of the accumulated stuff from the past three years.
  
• I help raise money for my twins club. The sales are our major fundraiser (since the club takes a cut of all the sales), and help fund a lot of our activities, like an annual scholarship and a Halloween party. It's such a fun and easy way to help our club.
• I see a lot of my friends and acquaintances.

However, it's also a massive amount of work, requiring hours of tagging clothes, plus spending Friday evening and most of the day Saturday setting up, working the sale, and cleaning up. But I'm looking forward to it. Hey, if I'm lucky, I'll get to rearrange books and have another "best day ever". Wish me luck!

Replies to comments on John Travolta's Bread:

Melodie: That would be kind of cool, if John Travolta bought all my bread. Of course, I'd probably be pretty annoyed at him then, so perhaps not.

Goddess in Progress: They still have other varieties of the small slice, just not the Oatmeal. So all hope is not lost :)

Dawn: Thank you for stopping by! Hope you enjoyed your SITS Day, and I'm so glad to meet another Heroes fan!

Jules: I have a bread maker, but it's one of my kitchen foes. I just can't seem to make bread that doesn't just fall and turn into a dense, small block of yuckiness. And I'm still kicking around the idea of another blog to do with you, although I think you should start your own personal blog. You know I'd be reading!!

Nancy: I guess that could be a future job opportunity for Travolta!
