This was a very non-traditional Memorial Day.  Tradition has me sleeping in, waking up when my mom calls me over to help get the food ready (and me getting there a couple of hours later) and everyone ending up at her house by 3p to start eating.  This goes on until about 8 or 9p, the kids play outside, one of my brothers decides he's going to challenge the youngsters to a game of basketball and ends up getting hurt, half the family is watching a game on television and the other half talking so loudly that you can't hear the commentary.  Didn't do any of that, but it was chilly and wet, which seems to be the case more often than not on this holiday.

Today, I went out thrifting with a friend.  We went to a Salvation Army that was so packed with clothing and people you could barely move.  Not that it stopped me.  I came out with two bags of Gap, Michael Kors, Banana Republic, Express and Prada.  Score!!  

Then on to Whole Foods, not to grocery shop, but to get lunch.  Whole Foods is the perfect place to eat when you don't know exactly what you want.  Between the hot bar, the salad bar, the pizza, the sushi...if you can't find something you like, then just skip eating altogether.  You're a lost cause.

Of course I did end up at mom's later in the day.   I showed off the "spoils" of my shopping trip, ate dessert (should have skipped that) and got back home to 14th Street at a decent hour.  Tomorrow morning will be interesting.  I'm trying to empty out a house for a friend.  She moved and is renting out the old house.  Clever me, I listed a "FREE STUFF" ad on Craigslist.  The response has been overwhelming.  OVERwhelming.  There's really not that much free stuff to go around, but we'll see what happens.  Tomorrow I'm sure I'll be blogging about crowd control and what not to post on Craigslist.  

Popped some tags today!
