Garage Sale, Interrupted

My mom and I have been working hard on getting a garage sale together for several weeks now. She wants to clean out her house, and now that we’re on a pretty intense saving budget right now, it was a chance for me to earn some mad money for myself. So you could say I was motivated.

The ad ran in today’s paper, we had the signs, I was arranging things on tables, et cetera, all day today in my mom’s garage … until 10 minutes to 4, when a nice man in an official green vest came to the door to inform us that they were repaving mom’s street tomorrow, and no cars could park or drive on it from 7am until 7pm.

Oh. Thanks for the tip.

I guess we won’t be having a garage sale tomorrow.
