Oh, Friday, I'm glad you're here. I've been looking forward to this
day for a long time!
Here's a look:
I woke up about 6:45 when Max shouts from his room that he's ready
to get up. Once, he's set up in the kitchen with some miniature donuts,
I rush upstairs to get a quick shower. I usually only wash my hair maybe
two or three times a week...so that's why my bangs are pinned back.
I'm rushing around this morning in anticipation of the
Springfield Flea Market. My plan is to try and drop Max
off a wee bit earlier so I can get on the road sooner. I decide
on some leggings, loose tee, and jean jacket (because the morning
is still going to be on the cool side).
I do manage to convince Max to move a little quicker today.
I drop off at Jessi's but forget the diaper bag - so I turn around
quick to drop it off (again). I decide to stop at McDonald's for a
large diet coke in a Styrofoam cup. Totally worth it.
I'm on the road to Springfield - it takes me about an hour.
But the traffic once off the high way is a nightmare. I can't
go my usual way through the back gate - so I'm a little lost.
I wind around and finally buy my entrance ticket. Hooray!
One of my favorite parts about the flea market is the food.
My lovely mother has already stopped and got me
a breakfast sandwich and coffee. Bless her.
My first purchase is a Mexican blanket. I've been searching
and so has my mom for what seems like ever. I finally
just decide to buy one for $10.
I wander the aisles with my mom...she is searching for
Pyrex. I'm not really "looking" for anything. And I mostly
spend my money on flowers and vegetables.
I just love the flowers. Geraniums. Petunias. Ferns.
Lantanas. Verbenas. Hostas.
Lunch time. We finally meet up with dad. He does
his own thing...mostly looking for records and beer signs.
We all get walking tacos for lunch from Oliver's food truck.
So delish. I finish it quick.
Afternoon snacks now. Soft pretzels (even though
dad tries to convince me they will be out of them).
The rest of the afternoon goes by quick!
By about 4:45 I need to hit the road.
My car is loaded up with all my goodies...
as evidenced by my plants in the front seat!
It takes me forever to get out of the parking lot (20 minutes!)
On the way home, I call Rob and we decide to get Pei Wei
take out. Honey Seared Chicken for him. Teryaki Chicken and
brown rice for me. Max eats mac and cheese, grapes, and
applesauce at home.
The rest of my evening consists of text messages with
my sister and sister-in-law Courtney. Stacy and I make
plans to meet up on Saturday. I also decide to go to bed
early (for me) - at 9:30!
I take a quick shower, throw my hair in a braid, and
settle in for the night.
Looking forward to a busy Saturday.
