The Not List...

While I was at the flea market on Saturday I noticed a few things that I wouldn't buy at the flea market or things I wouldn't do at the flea market.

There are a few things I wouldn't buy at a flea market tampons, underwear, bras and medicine. Things I wouldn't do at a flea market get a massage, get my teeth whitened or wear heels.

I couldn't believe you could get your teeth whitened at the flea market BUT you can. I also don't know how much I could relax with everyone walking by while I was getting a massage.

Just a few thoughts!

The Flea Market...

I had a GREAT weekend with my parents. They got here on Friday afternoon. We went to dinner and to downtown Franklin to walk around.

Saturday morning we went the the flea market. There are two different parts of the flea market. One part is like Holiday House and the old Memphis Flea Market (when it came to town) all rolled into one on steroids. Everything you can think of there...all new stuff. Then there is the real "flea market' part of the flea market. It has antiques, vintage clothes and furniture pretty much anything you can think of. Mom and Dad spent their time in the "flea market". I went to the "new stuff". They did better than I did. I didn't buy a single thing...they did :) We did some more running around and went on a drive on Saturday afternoon.

We had breakfast this morning and they got on the road. They are back home in Arkansas! We had so much fun!

I hope everyone has a great week!

Week In Review...

Well it has been a really busy week at work.....that's great! It was CRAZY busy yesterday and today. I have a bunch of stuff to get done tomorrow morning. I will be leaving early tomorrow afternoon...why? MY PARENTS ARE COMING FOR A VISIT....WOOOOHOOOOO! I cleaned the apartment and baked cookies tonight to get ready for their visit. I'm very excited.

We are going to go to the flea market in Nashville on Saturday. The April flea market is the BIG spring flea market. It will also be a great weekend of the flea market. It will be in low 80s on Saturday.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

One Year...

Well I'm a little late on this post! I've been here ONE YEAR! I made it one year at my job...I had my doubts at times. I had kind of gotten use to doing my own thing at work so it has been an adjustment.

I'm so excited...ONE YEAR...I personally never really thought I would make it...living away from my friends and family BUT I made it.

A few weeks ago I signed another year lease on my apartment...that's exciting.
I'm still enjoying getting to know my new town and area. I still have a lot to learn. There are still a lot of places I would like to go in Tennessee.

Happy ONE YEAR in Tennessee to me!

Road Trips...

I'm a fan of road trips. The perfect road trip for me is if I don't have to drive! Well when I drive home I have to drive.

I'm always seeing things on the way to and from Arkansas that would be great blog posts...most of the time I can't remember them. I also think about what a great photo this or that would be...however most of the time I'm in such a hurry to get to Arkansas or get back to Tennessee I don't take the time.

The other great thing about road trips are the snacks. Well I love convenience store/truck stop food i.e. corn dogs, hot dogs and burritos. Yes that's right burritos. Well on the way back from Arkansas this past weekend I stopped and picked up a corn dog. It was the NASTIEST corn dog I had ever had it was so gross. I think it may have been in the little warmer thing for about a week...maybe longer...I was so disappointed.

I love the turn the radio up and sing. I have the radio up and I'm singing, I think to myself, "I'm not that bad"...then I turn the radio down a bit to hear myself and the truth is I am that bad. I suspect I will get a call from some famous singer, group or duo BEGGING me to STOP singing their songs!

Something else that happens while I'm driving between Franklin and Wooster is that I see things that I think my friends/family would think are funny. So I think it would be great if randomly different folks could hang out with me on my way to and from.

I should really start writing stuff down but that really causes a problem if you are trying to drive. So I think I need a driver. I've always thought that would be my one luxury in life if I had the option.

You know the game if you had the money what would you get...a big house, a new car, a maid the list goes on. As for me it would be a driver!

Kinda BLAH...

Well I made it home safely on Sunday evening. It rained all the way home. So it was a stressful drive.

I usually get a headache after the drive from Arkansas to Tennessee. This trip was not any different. I'm not sure why I get the headaches but I do. I've been able to work but have had a headache since early Monday morning

BLAH...
