Monday was spent on Michael. He dropped his Ecco van off to get a new wrap (wraps are the advertising layovers you see on all these vehicles) on it while he's gone to New Hampshire for sales meetings, so he was without transportation. He suddenly realized he needed clothes for his meeting. That blazer from the college years doesn't fit anymore! I was a little exasperated by the last minute rush, but I remember Craig always doing the same thing. So Monday afternoon was spent running him on his quest. He hates shopping and gets really impatient, so thank God for Men's Wearhouse! And he's a lucky guy because he found a new black cashmere blazer on sale that fit perfectly and they had all the shirts and pants that fit.
Tuesday, Michael needed a ride to the airport. I never thought about Tuesday morning being the time when all those Fiesta Bowl people were flying out. Ugh. After that, I spent some time in the dentist's chair.
And here we are at Wednesday. How time flies when you're having fun? Now I'm trying to plan a free day! Woo hoooo! Walk the dog, clean up around here. Maybe a trip to the local antique mall?
Speaking of antiques, while we were in California, I hit a couple of their malls. I didn't buy anything because everything there is quite pricey! But I did take some photos.
A lot of the stuff was really ornate.
I thought this crown would be perfect for a certain friend who sports a tiara in her avatar!
Are those tires antique?
I love old wicker! This is kind of a beachy scene.
I thought about carting this chair home for my living room and recovering the red cushion!
Loved this old cruise ship souvenir made of shells.
And here's the typewriter that got away. I thought about buying it, didn't, wanted to go back, and then we never did. When will I learn that with antiques, you buy it when you see it!
The antique malls in California are heavy on the retro stuff from my 50's/60's childhood. I think they call it mid-century.
I love old suitcases, but where the heck would I put it?

I'm trying the ginko too, but so far, nada!
That crown is rather ornate! Perfect for Princess Moongirl!
Have fun with your "extra" day!

I have a blue suitcase just like that up in the attic--I think I got it for some occasion--HS graduation, maybe? And it's monogrammed!
I like the cruise ship souvenir, too! And, like Ann, I had a suitcase just like that one when I was young...but maybe EVERYONE did! Ha!
I had that same suitcase too!
I am so with Michael on the shopping. I hate it. If it weren't for the going naked if you don't do it I'd give it up all together.
I just howled at the gaining a day. I've been there. Take another dose of Gingo.
