So with all of the projects I completed last week, both planned and unplanned, and all the driving and sitting in the hot sun over the weekend, I didn't have the energy to hit the great thrift store Memorial Day sales that many of my friends were planning to visit.  I stayed at home all day, and in the afternoon enjoyed the company of most of my family.  That may not have come out right.  There weren't any there whose company I did not enjoy, it's just that not everyone was there.  If they were, there probably would have been at least one that I could take a pass on...just sayin'.

I've finally gotten the cooking thing down to where I don't have two weeks worth of leftovers.  Each holiday I'm left with maybe lunch for the next day, but that's about it.  After a while, leftovers get on my nerves.

I spent all day Saturday and Sunday at a soccer tournament.  I managed to get in a little thrifting on Saturday.  I make it a point to locate all the thrift stores that I can visit while my son is either practicing, or during the one hour that he has to be there before the game starts.  I found these pretty coffee cups at Goodwill for .50 each.  I bought them because I love flowers, I love yellow, I love yellow flowers and these were very high quality.  Even though I bought them for myself, I was happy to learn that they are selling online for $20 apiece and up.  A very nice lady gave me a $10 coupon, which brought my grand total to $6 for the mugs, a pair of shorts, a scarf, two CD's and a handful of the videotapes that my daughter keeps buying for her after school classroom.  This little side trip kept me from feeling completely left out of the thrifting fun on Monday.  Tuesday found me with another hour to kill and one of my favorite thrift stores just down the street from where I was.  I found a two-piece dress that is a bit overwhelming (really bold print) but I'm going to wear the pieces separately.  There was also a .25 jewelry bin and I picked up a few vintage bangles and a vintage barrette.  And me with no hair to put it in.  But it was tortoiseshell!  I've never met a tortoiseshell or root beer piece that I didn't like...

In all, it was a great weekend.  I drove a lot, nearly dozed off a couple of times, got in a little thrifting, watched my son's team win 4 out of 4 games, and spent some quality time with my kids.
