Garage Sales

This saturday I decided to forgo the Arts market for some garage sales. I'd only been to a couple since I moved here, and really don't buy much. I do enjoy picking through things to see if I can find any real treasures. I especially like to collect Homer Laughlin pottery, which was pretty easy to find up north, and I'm always on the lookout for books that I haven't read, and clothes that I can use for work or otherwise.

Yesterday I got word of a subdivision-wide tag sale so a friend & I headed out to see what we could find. There was plenty of walking to do and we needed it! It was all we could do to keep warm. The morning started out in the mid 40's and never got past 57 deg. all day. BRR! I'm such a wimp now! :)

So, here's a collage of  what I picked up. I'm not sure where I want to use the stool, but the tower shelf looks good right where it is. Still not sure what I want to use it for, but I'm sure a use will present itself soon enough.

Grand total: $4.50 for all of it. What a deal!

New Years Day - 2010

I probably should take down the Christmas Tree soon.
Cat has been chewing the needles off of it.
It's an artificial one, can't taste too good.
I've been lazy all day, drinking coffee & watching the Twilight Zone Marathon.
Started a Facebook-based Project 365 for 2010 with Jeanne.
I will probably make a weekly collage to post here.
I'll leave you with a photo taken a few days ago of the almost full moon.

What a week..

And I'm so glad it's over! It started out normally enough monday morning, but by lunchtime I knew I was comin' down with something. Tuesday morning at 8, I headed out to the local urgent care center, since it's easier to get in & out of there than it is to see my regular doctor. It took her exactly 30 seconds to look in my ear and at my throat, and pronounced me the proud owner of a sinus infection. YAY.

I knew with my vacation only 2 weeks away there was no way I was going to be sick during those blissful 10 days back home. Been there, done that.

So home I went with my trusty Z-pack of antibiotics. First dose threw me for a major loop, and my stomach took a couple days to settle. I stayed home on wednesday doing nothing but sleep and reading. I didn't even have my coffee! Thursday & Friday, I still wasn't quite myself. Today is looking much better. Hopefully I have enough drugs running thru my system to keep any other germs away while on vacation! :)

Here's a shot of one more Turtle that I don't think I've shared yet. He's located at Everbank, close to where the Arts Market is.

Have a great weekend everyone!!
