Kat and I have had a nice little routine these last few weekends. Right after breakfast on Friday or Saturday (sometimes both), we head out and hit as many garage sales as we can before lunch. Most days, I only carry a max of $10 on me. More often than not, I come home with at least $8.00. It's a great way to spend a morning. Kat gets to say an enthusiastic, "Hi!" to every. single. person. she sees and I get to browse through people's old junk and see if I can find any toys from my childhood.
This morning, we actually ended up spending more than $10 (gasp!). We bought a ball for 10 cents, a square of puffed wheat cake for 25 cents, a jar of home made rhubarb/strawberry jam for $2.00, a Dean Koontz novel for 50 cents and a bookshelf for $9.00 (none of these items were purchased at the same sale...we did a fair amount of driving this morning).
Next Thursday marks my return to work so I am savoring these final few days of summer. Now, before anyone breaks out the pity party for me, I should mention that I'm still only working two days a week - Wednesdays and Thursdays. Life is so tough when you have mega-long weekends, every single weekend. Pardon me while I go dry my tears :)
Tomorrow, it is just us girls at home, since Joel is at his mom's and Mike is heading up north for the day to go fishing. The majority of our day will be spent shopping. I want to take Kat to the Farmer's Market in the morning, followed by some more garage sales.
I don't really have anything funny to say, so just imagine me making farting noises with a cupped hand in my armpit while Kat is in the background yelling, "Niiiiice!!".
