Mother's Day at the Chinese Buffet

 A picture of my Mother and I and our GIGANTIC plates of Chinese food.

Every time we go I grab at least one oyster... but once I get it from it's shell and examine it. (No clue why I do that.) My feelings change. *lol* I think it's the 3rd time it's happened. So I think from now on I won't put the tongs near them.

 My Inspiration for my outfit was a Flamingo eating a Kiwi!

Since it was Mother's day and I am not yet a Mother I decided to take Mr. Coco to the park.

 I wore my Valentine Cowboy boots cause they matched my pink dress pretty much perfectly.

 "Yeee - Hawwwwww"

 "You naughty Dinosaur!"

 Be careful Loo!

 "THROWN FROM THE DINO"

 On Saturday when I was out shopping I noticed Walmart had their "Big Balls" on sale for $2.50

I like to buy these for Jersey every once in awhile. He LOVES them but makes sure to KILL them within minutes. So they are a special treat.

Here he is sitting waiting patiently to get his ball.

Let the craziness begin....

It's a &#@!*# ALIEN POD!!

 "Go back to your PLANET!!"

Well that was a bit of my weekend.

I will share my Saturday garage sale finds with you on Tues or Wed as I still need to take photos.

On Saturday I went and had my weekly Ramen. I was thrilled when I realized the green onion in the bowl matched my freshly painted nails!

Yes I am easily fascinated!

Happy Mother's day to all the Mommies!!

Whether your a  mommy of a human child or a dog mommy, a cat mommy, a bird mommy, a rabbit mommy, a snake mommy, a goldfish mommy, a hamster mommy or any sort of animal mommy.

The yard sale

What took me so long to post this? My laziness of course... it took me a few days to re cooperate after having my Saturday yard sale last weekend. I made all the signs on Friday and decided to add a little sparkle piz-zazz to get some extra attention. I have a personality that hates normalcy. I don't like boring, bland & simple. I like eye catching, dazzling & fun!! So I portrayed that through my signs. And no worries I did not sell a zebra.

And if I did have a zebra I would have never sold it, I would dye its white fur with green kool-aid and ride it around the neighborhood with a set of fairy wings on my back and a little green elf hat. (Woops there goes that damn imagination again.)

(Early Sat morning before setting up)

I decided to make a little *Welcome* sign for the front yard to greet the people saling.
The purple balloons were for extra excitement. *lol*

I forgot to take pics of the whole setup. Behind the clothing rack was two tables. One with kick knacks the other with electronics and dvds and stuff. This garage sale was not that big because last spring we had a ginormous multi family sale and I sold most of my unwanted items then. And since then I have been pretty much only purchasing vintage items which I do not want to rid myself of. heheh

The main thing I sold was clothing and surprisingly it did quite well. I sold at least half of my clothing on the rack at the prices of 2 & 3 dollars. At 12:00 one and a half hours before garage sale end I marked the clothing all down to 1.00 each in hopes to clear out a bit more before the end. That got some people quite excited and I really did sell more clothes than I expected too. *wooohooo*

This was one of my last customers vehicles. I asked if I could take a pic as I thought it was hilarious!! I don't think I would ever be able to garage sale on a Scooter like he was. The fact he purchased a air conditioner and a set of lights that were sitting where his feet go gave me a good laugh.

After the sale last year was done we packed everything into the vehicle and donated it to Salvation Army.

(Which is what I did at the end of this yard sale too.)

It was getting so hot on Sat I could not wait to pack things up at our 1:30 p.m. closing time. By then I already was sun burnt and intensely hot and uncomfortable. The temperature outside was 32 Celsius which is 89.6 ºF
Thank goodness I wore a checkered fedora on my head since the beginning of the day or I probably would have felt much worse. Once packed up I sprayed myself with a water bottle and sat in front of the living room fan. *hahaah*

(Not so spry and happy as the early morning photo)

After donating un sold items to Salvation Army. My family went out for a Chinese buffet!! (I mean really its the best way to celebrate the ending of a yard sale.) We had a delicious dinner and it was actually very nice because we haven't all been out together in quite a long time.

After dinner I came home and had a much needed 2 1/2 hour nap. I did not get much sleep the night before because my mind just would not turn off. I kept thinking of what I had to get done and where I would place this and put that. It was ridiculous!!!

The money I made was mostly to go towards the purchase of my (Not found yet) Vanity. *Bites lip* BUT... I have been naughty spent a bit finding some other things I liked in thrifts. (I am not too horrified that I spent some because you see its my B-day in exactly 1 month minus one day.) "I have been dreading this one" *hmmmpff* So I talked to my man and I am sure we will be able to work something out. *lol*

"After all... I will need a mirror to peek into to inspect for any new wrinkles"

*hehehe* *CRY*

No worries I am just being dramatic I am sure most of us have all felt this way about aging at one time or another.

I suppose I am not thrilled about it because I still feel like a teenager. (Even though I have not been one for 10 yrs...) Just Yesterday I ran away from my man in a department store and phoned him on his cell and told him I was hiding and I bet he could not find me. It was a fun game.. I would see him pass and say "Nope wrong way Babe" And run off briskly to another department. This went on for 10-15 min till I decided I better let him find me. *hahaha*

I suppose getting older doesn't mean we have to "Grow up" I will still be a teenager in my mind and that is what counts.

(I was 23 in this picture)

But I just don't want to go and dig for my teenage year pics atm.

It's almost the weekend

*Smile*
