Back Wall

Would you chuckle? Maybe roll your eyes a bit, if I told you that yard sale we had scheduled for three weeks ago still hasn't come to fruition yet? However, it WILL happen this weekend. If it's good weather and it doesn't materialize, I'll promise you this. They'll be a pile of our stuff at the end of the driveway come Tuesday morning's trash collection. Scouts' honor! Am I allowed to say 'scouts' honor', if I was a Boy Scout for just three weeks? Now, I was a card carrying, pledge reciting and multiple merit badge receiving Cub Scout for quite a few years. Might that count? I got one badge for making my bed everyday and keeping my room tidy for an entire summer. It was worth it, but I must admit it might have been the longest summer of my life. Those that know me well, will be very quick to point out that I still struggle with that 'organizing thing'. Junk drawers, a messy workbench, a desk at work that leaves a lot to be desired are my calling cards.
It's embarrassing too. 
I still really haven't mastered that bedmaking technique.
Can they take back merit badges?
I might need another lawyer.

 ps. Well, at least this back garage wall is neat. Can I get points for this? 
Didn't think so.

    He didn't mention that the boy scouts sorta asked him to leave after 3 weeks after some knot tying incident or something.....

    Hmm, I don't know if they can take merit badges back or not. Something to think about.

    Anything worth doing is worth doing well so take your time to have a huge bang-up garage sale. Actually, I think they're a huge waste of time. Call Goodwill!

    Cool license plate. Cool metal against warm wood.

    You know, "One man's junk..." Good luck with the sale. Fine still life today. Is that your shop wall? Must be a market for that license plate.

    Ah procrastination! It's funny, our neighbors has a garage sale EVERY WEEKEND in August. Whatever they didn't sell one week carried over to the next. I wondered why they didn't just get the hint that no one wanted those last few things. :S

    Don't feel bad, I've been "going to have a yard sale" for the last 4 years and I still haven't done it. Now that it's cooled off somewhat, it's on my to-do list again. I wonder if it will happen this time.

    You'll feel wonderful once the garage sale is done. ;))

    So your career in scouting lasted just about as long as mine. If I received any merit badges, I'm sure I cheated.

    Yard sales seem to help organize our things -- so there is hope that there is organizing ways in your future. Personally organizing is great with some things but not all -- barbara

    If you want to cut back on the organizing detail, just get everything out on tables and write a big sign, "no reasonable offer refused" and stick to it. Take any offer. The point is to clear out the stuff, right? Right?

    Not my field but I'll help if I can. As they say, a messy desk is a sign of a creative mind.
