Junk of the Week #8

"Island Mango" Yankee Candle - $1.00
"Kiss the Girls" hardcover by James Patterson - $.50
"The Dark Half" paperback by Stephen King - Free

No, that is not the floor of a casino, that's my bedspread. A yard sale find from last year. I love it, the crazy colors relax me for some reason.


Anyway...

Sigh. Another lame week. We found a lot more sales than we did the previous week, of course, but nobody had anything good. It was very frustrating.

The free book was cool. The lady was just piling stuff on the curb she wanted to get rid of because people were driving by looking for a yard sale that was in the paper but was never set up. And it gave me something to read while I sat in the van at all the other lame sales we stopped at that I could look at in three seconds but my mom had to peruse for five to ten minutes each.

The island mango scented candle was a good buy, I'll say that. That size Yankee Candle is usually, like, fifteen to twenty dollars. I don't know how the people who make Yankee Candles sleep at night. Other than on a huge pile of money. That smells like fruit.

And I got another James Patterson book. I like Patterson. I can read his books in, like, five hours, and there's always that twist at the end to make it fun. I once read one of his books in the large-print edition, it felt like I was tearing through it at a page a second.

Okay, that's all I've got for this week. I really hope this yard sale season picks up soon. It's not like I've got room for a lot more junk, or money to buy more junk, for that matter, but still, I feel like I'm wasting half my Saturdays lately.
