Busy weekend

May 5th, 2013 at 03:18 pm

I had a good Saturday. In the early hours, I did two loads of laundry ($3), and then at about 9 I went to the big rummage sale. It was in its second day, so was pretty picked over, but I did manage to spend $8. I bought a white sugar bowl (for my white pretties cabinet), a plate with a calico cat to give to a friend, a cool wooden Santa for my Santa collection, and a tank top - beige & coral, Oriental print. I considered a very nice olive green purse which had been priced for $75 and marked down half-price -- however, still too much. Nice purse, though.

Then I went to my new doctor, and I like him very much! He gave me an order for lab work and to get my semi-annual Cat scan. The office was clean and professional, the staff friendly -- the only down side is that I had to pay for parking ($2), but now that I see that the building is right by a train station, I can actually take the train in the future.

After the doc visit, I went to a school fair with my grandsons -- we used to call this kind of event a "penny carnival." I spent $5 on tickets, and they spent hours bouncing in the bouncy castle, throwing balls at a target, making sand "necklaces" and all the other usual activities. We also indulged in cotton candy and sno-cones.

When it got to be dinnertime, we went to McD's and I spent $16 on dinner. (That was for four of us; the boys' other grandma was with us, too.)

This morning I did three more loads of laundry -- two of them were a blanket and a quilt. ($4.50) Just part of my spring cleaning.

Not sure how the rest of my day will shape up. I want to see the boys again while other grandma is still visiting, but I also have to grocery shop, go to Best Buy, and shoe-shop. I may have to do some of that after work next week.
