Thank you, Saturday

I woke up this morning to a text message from my ever faithful, former roommate.

It read, "Hey girl, so it looks like about every other house on like five streets around my house is having garage or estate sales so you might want to come look"

I seemingly skipped over my morning phase that normally requires answering internal questions such as "where am I?", "what time is it", "did I oversleep?" and rolled outta bed to get my garage sale groove on. I had stayed the night at my parents so it was time to wake up my partner in crime. Mom-guess what??

That's about the only thing that will get my mom up before noon on a Saturday (and it was 9:30, thank you).

So off we went. But not without getting coffee first. Lord knows I can't function without it. (I know, I know...don't judge me) All of a sudden my body realizes its morning and decides to go on strike. Sore throat. Headache. Dizziness. Great....just what I need.

After making a pit stop to my trusty chiropractor and loading up on some sort of cherry flavored herb filled chewable things (he knows how much I hate swallowing pills), we were ready.

We were expecting a few garage sales. But seriously, it was six blocks of literally every other house having a garage sale. Antiques galore. I especially enjoy estate sales in these quaint neighborhoods because you get to go inside these grand old houses and take a look around. The wood floors, the sliding doors, the built in cabinets and secret cubby holes. They just ooze with a story.

Shockingly, we didn't buy anything. Well, I tried once. There was a fabulous tree statue that had little colorful glass birds on it. Mom, of course, thought it was hideous and was appalled that I actually wanted to pay money for it. Come to find out, it wasn't for sale. Dang it.

There are a couple other things we wanted but the "bargaining" won't happen til tomorrow. So we'll go back and see if we can make a deal.

By the time we were done I was fading fast. We picked up some lunch and headed home. And I haven't moved off the couch since. Thank the Lord Almighty for CSI marathons.

What a Saturday. Stay tuned.
