Vero ended up buying Beauty and the Beast at the garage sale so we ended up watching it last night.
I haven’t watched a Disney movie in ages so was pleasantly surprised at how good it was, although I had forgotten the crucial part of any Disney movie – the singing.
It was funny to see Vero watch it because she had only seen it in French so the words to the songs had changed.
All in all, one thumb up, only because we all know Aladdin is THE Disney movie of all time.
The Glebe Garage Sale has come and went…was I impressed?
Well the sale itself is always impressive. I’m not very impressed with my purchases each year – Benoit seems to get crazy good deals out of thin air.
But, I succeeded in purchasing the one item I wanted. A weed wacker.
Oddly enough, when we went to pick up Eric and Annie, there was a garage sale going on across the street and when we got there I heard the owner and a woman talking about three weed wackers sitting right there.
Owner: Yeah, we just don’t want them anymore. I think some of them work, one has a problem with the choke. I’ll sell them each for $1.
Myself (thinking): Dang, of all the times to show up, I’m losing out on a $1 weed wacker.
I look over at Mike and his eyes are saying something to me.
Myself (to purchaser): Lady, I’ll give you $2 for one of them. I just want the electric one, not the gas powered one.
Purchaser: Oh, I’m not buying the electric one at all.
That’s how I bought an electric weed wacker for $1. It doesn’t have the spool on the end, but no big deal. It still works. Mike ended up finding one with a spool on the end at the Glebe so we will see if it works.
I loved how I didn’t even have to leave Orleans to find what I was looking for. So, in the end, I purchased a James Bond book and a book about Souvenirs of Canada. Not too bad.
Total money spent:
$1 – weed wacker
$2 – Souvenirs of Canada book
$0.25 – James Bond book
$4 – sausage from street vendor.
Puts things into perspective really.
