friday afternoon, jack called me at work: "i just got home and my neighbors have a sign out that they're yard sale-ing tomorrow... want to bring over all of that yard sale stuff you've been collecting and do a joint one?" a couple of hours later, i showed up at his house with a car packed with stuff in the hopes i could unload some of it the next morning. it was "eh", we're past yard sale season so most of the shoppers we got were people who drove by and stopped. i ended up making $45 which jack and i blew (and then some) on a BBQ dinner date that night. the rest of it went back in the car and over to my local thrift store in the hopes that they'd have more luck in selling it all.

all i have to say about the yard sale is -- if you want to meet a fascinating cross-section of americans, have a yard sale. if only i'd had a hidden camera set up, i could have turned it over to [livejournal.com profile] ms_violet and she'd have enough wacky characters for her next 100 plays.

sunday was grilling with jack and my dad, then a red elvises concert. rest of the time in-between was spent going *squeeeeeee* at the fact that i was highlighted on the home page of hooping.org... the views on youtube had jumped to over 600 as of last night, and i've now met (virtually) a woman who lives near jack who's looking for people to hoop with. hee!

ETA: hooping.org just unblinded all the comments on my video over the weekend... thanks you guys for writing in, you're so sweet!!! jack's in particular almost made me cry. *swoon*

My pleasure!

I hooped until I bruised this weekend! Even my mom got in on it.

We need animated hooping icons....

I got all schmoopy/sappy/misty when I read Jack's comments. *squeeeeeeeeeeeeee!*

You realize his comment only solidifies everyone's collective gender-unspecific gayness for him. :-P
