Hey everyone. I'm still here and have been taking it easy this week for a change. We skipped ALL auctions this week and that meant no trip to pick things up. Yay! I did however, have to run to Baton Rouge earlier in the week to meet one of my friends from the boutique for lunch. She needed makeup and I didn't mind delivering for her since she spent over $100. She suggested lunch and I agreed to that. We enjoyed catching up with each other and visiting. Other than that I have been loading more on Ebay for holiday sales and tagging things for the flea market. In fact, we are headed that way this afternoon to restock. I was gong alone until I remembered the weekend shrimp boil at one of the restaurants in the small town the flea market is in. So I tempted the hubby and asked if he wanted to go eat there on the way home. He, of course, did. So that takes care of supper tonight. I was going to hit Walmart after the flea market, but I will make a run over there tomorrow during the day. I don't like going there after dark. Other than that, I'm just waiting for the LSU-Old Piss football game tomorrow. And no, that is not a typo!! What is everyone up to today? Photo Credit: Public Domain

I worked today, and got news that I may be getting an opportunity to work elsewhere, too. I tried to work on yarn dolls tonight, but I kept having to glue and re-glue things because I was messing up. I think I'll do it tomorrow when hopefully I'm more awake.

Congrats on the job news! Do you think you will eventually put some on Ebay?

Sounds like a nice break honestly, good to take it easy sometimes. That shrimp boil plan sounds smart, get the hubby on board and dinner's basically done. Have fun at the flea market and good luck to LSU tomorrow!

Well looks like they took the other team a bit for granted and so far are behind in the game. Not sure if they can pull it off or not. We will see.

I'm jealous that you spend so much time at flea markets. I'd find it a lot of fun - at least for a while.

It's fun until your feet start hurting! I didn't really look around the other day, but my hubby did. That is more fun than helping me tidy up..LOL!

It seems so weird for you not to have an auction.

Tell me about it!! I wanted some more artificial trees for the flea market that an estate sale had listed. But pick up was the next day and I just didn't want to go!! I got the flea market run done on my Friday when I like to do and be ready for the weekend there, groceries today and maybe back to flea market tomorrow. I am not ready, so will see what I can get done tonight and tomorrow morning. This heat has me dragging.

Sounds like you had a relaxed day. I was just working online, and I just made a tomato pie. They are so good, and a good way to use up tomatoes. I decided I need some assistance to put in a new air filter in my car. It should be simple, but if there is a way to do it wrong..I will.

I hope you got the new air filter in!! My hubby's trick is to always take a photo before taking old parts off and you can see how it should go back that way.

I hope that you have a nice drive and a nice supper following. I am just about to go and meet the kids when they get off of the school bus. there's alot of stress regarding the schools here, the teachers are in a work to rule position, and might be going on strike very soon. I hope it doesn't come to that.

Taking it easy for a bit is good...still sounds productive with everything though. Not much going on today here...especially with the gloomy weather outside.
