undisclosed locations

Today, I was going to take my mom “out” for her birthday (actually next week), but she didn’t feel like going “out,” then later in the afternoon she did feel like going “out,” if only to buy peat pots at the garden supply store on 286 because some of her seeds arrived today. While on this trip “out” (I continue the quotes because this barely qualifies as “out,” I suppose), we stopped at a thrift store on the way, which I will not name for hopes of being able to go back and find sweet stuff. Although, I was there once before and there wasn’t much. But this time, in addition to a 3-in1 foosball-pool-something else table for $50 which I did not buy, I found a ton of pretty sweet books, at no more than $2 each! I only got a Philip Roth novel and a 20-year-old film studies textbook, but there was some media criticism stuff (more of the McChesney strain than what I’m interested in, but a good thrift score nonetheless) and a ’70s-era Dr. Spock book, and who knows what else. Also, clothes that don’t fit me, and a lot of gaudy knick knack stuff. I scored some sweet picture frames as well.

Otherwise, reading for my classes and watching some TV (I actually had to turn off “Hogan Knows Best” for the first time today; I couldn’t stand their foibles in Mexico).  You?
