One of those days

Did you ever have one of those days that started out a bit rough and ended up turning around and being great?

I knew I had to go to my Moms and feed and water her pets. Not so terrible but she lives 25miles away, so there goes an hour and a half of my day, gas is already being guzzled by Monster Truck due to all the soccer practice trips to town( we are hoping to sell hubbies vehicle and get some little hatchback instead but until then) Then I decide to go and have lady issues.

Oh well, buck up wuss bag and just go. I figure unless I have car trouble, I can just stay in my jammies, who is going to see right? So the Bone and I load up and get going.

The drive to my moms is a beautiful one, all farm houses, fields and such. Only one stoplight. The pets are fine, do my jobs and go.

Driving back I see a moving sale with a big old barn in the distance. MOVING SALE, BARN, I have no choice.

Lookie at what I got for $8!

Chicken wire, tomato cages, 4 fishing poles, and a big chicken waterer.

I got the cigarette butt for free!

The lady wanted $4 for the waterer, I talked her down to $2.

Was it my awesome negotiating skills or......

.....did she feel sorry for me?

Jammie pants, no name brand crocs, and a happy Halloween t-shirt.

I have officially become one of those people who wear their jammies in public.

So at the next sale, yes i said next sale, why stop now? I got a brand spankin new air popcorn popper for $2. It had to be my awesome negotiating skills again, right? Say yes, please.

So at this sale if you buy one popcorn popper they throw in a........

....Metal shelf for free!

It's ugly now but I am going to paint that baby up and you'll see what I treasure I really scored.

By this time T-Bone is tired of things being crammed around him, so we went home.

Then..

.....while weeding in our 78degree day, I discovered my asparagus is starting!

I love asparagus season!

So then I have to blog to you all, T-Bone, Ratface and the chickens don't care, so while I'm down loading photos, 7 of 30 shots were mine. Yep the girl got the camera again, so I'll include just a few for your viewing pleasure.

One of her yarn dolls that she makes, just chillin.

Our tree fort slide.

T-Bone going down the slide action shot.

You can't steal a camera without including many, many, many photos of Ratface (Rascal).

Ratface and his green mustache.

I also want to say thank you to Twinville at http://laughingorcaranch.blogspot.com/, Farm M0m at http://childreninthecorn.blogspot.com/ and Tabbyfactory for making this just just an amazing week for me business wise. I was so close to taking a giant step backwards and now I have the energy and motivation to keep moving forward. Thank you so much!
