Today we got up early to hit a huge YARD SALE happening at a local Baptist Church. The thing about this church yard sale is that, a lot of houses in the surrounding neighborhood also schedule their own yard sales accordingly...so we basically hopped from one yard sale to the next all morning. But first things first - we had to stop at the ATM to get cash and we needed some HI-NRG music to get us in the mood (and to wake us up)...
Whether at a grocery store, a gift shop, a thrift store, or a yard sale, Missy and I can spot something designed by the company we work for from a mile away. In this case, it was a green ceramic TEAPOT...we turned it over to confirm what we already knew:
We finally hit pay dirt - a bunch of CRAFTING SUPPLIES that no one seemed to care about. We ended up getting three bags of POLY-FIL STUFFING, a bunch of EMBROIDERY HOOPS, an embroidery kit, a bunch of felt, and miscellaneous crafty odds and ends...
I was curious to see what kind of music I could find at a church yard sale. Not surprisingly, there were a good number of AMY GRANT recordings. I found this CASSETTE BOX SET of popular movie and TV show theme songs. THE GODFATHER, KOJAK, and ROCKY were on the cover so naturally, I had to add it to my music collection...
At one of the neighborhood yard sales we picked up this sturdy CAMERA TRIPOD for cheap, and even picked up a movie to watch later in the day...

I vaguely remember seeing Clockwatchers and liking it - it's got a stellar cast, anyway. I LOVE church sales and this one looks like so much fun. Swoon!
I think we got to the church sale a little late...they started at 7am and there was no way we were gonna be up by then! I know I had seen Clockwatchers before, but couldn't remember it (it's from 1997, I think?). But for a dollar, I couldn't resist. Plus, having been a temp myself I have a certain affinity for that profession as subject matter. Anyhoo, we watched it and it's really low-key...not at all what the cover suggests (which is: "9 to 5, updated for the 90's"). I guess they wanted the movie to match how monotonous being a temp can be, and they succeeded. Pretty good movie, especially for only spending a buck on it.
