Saturday morning, Kate and I decided we needed to drive around town and buy crap from people that we didn’t need. I only spent $10.50 and Kate spent over $40. I was very proud of my purchases. Some guy bought ALL the comics at one garage sale right before me. That pissed me off but I survived. He had forgotten two of them, one which I thought was very topical:<\/p>\n

I also bought a $1 croquet set, a student nurse patch, several books, several retro repro food and drink posters, a miniture round table (as in knights of the), and a Felix the Cat duffle bag.<\/p>\n

My favorite thing that I bought was a framed cover from some sheet music.

It’s called “Are You From Dixie? Cause I’m From Dixie, Too”. I told Tess last night that if I move to Seattle then I was hanging that in the hallway where all guests could see it and I was wearing Matlock seersucker suits exclusively.<\/p>\n

I have a feeling my Southerness is inversely proportional to my proximity to Athens. The farther north and west I go, the redder my neck is gonna get.<\/p>\n

After the sales, we picked up kristin at her hotel and we had a great brunch at the Grit. I hardly ever get the pancakes but they were raspberry almond and I really couldn’t resist. Then we went to Airee’s flea market and there was cool stuff but it was HOT.<\/p>\n

We came back to my house and Kristin burned CDs until her Dad was done at the conference. I picked up new eyeglasses and then last night Jocelyn and Kate and I had a quick drink at Room 13 and I came home and crashed.<\/p>\n

Today, I went iPod shopping with my Mom and we both got tiny ipod shuffles because they were on sale and it makes a lot more sense for me to wear that when I am walking up and down Millege or in the woods or whatever than my $400 ipod that is all fragile and breaky.<\/p>\n

This afternoon I braved the 102 heat index and biked around 5 miles or so on the Greenway. I did much better on hills today so we are seeing some progress. I might even go back out tonight when it gets a bit cooler but we’ll see.<\/p>\n

Jocelyn and Tera spied me riding on Oconee St. and took a picture of a very hot and sweaty Chip. We’ll hope this doesn’t show up on her flicker page.<\/p>\n

All for now!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
