i should go to bed.
yesterday i went to snohomish to do some shopping with brent. whenever i see brent, which is hardly ever since he lives in NY, we always do THE EXACT SAME THING. well, i shouldn't say exact because we used to go to the thrift stores in everett/marysville and eat at tacos tacos guaymas. but this was a long long time ago when shop and save existed. anyway, now instead we go to the antique stores in snohomish and eat mexican food at the mexi place there. yesterday we had pizza instead. i think brent wanted coffee and thats what the pizza place had. but whatever, that is not the point. the point is that we always do the same thing because it is very comfortable.
i can remember specific trips we took and certain things that i bought and still have..... like this one time we went WAY up north to mt. vernon. i got a pair of real tortoise shell hoop earrings. then later we went to the vans store and got these weird moccasin shoes. i wish i still had those shoes. i also still have this velvet jacket i got the same day.....or another time that brent insisted that i buy these shoes that looked like clarks wallabee's . i thought they were W.E.I.R.D. but they fit and i STILL HAVE THEM and they are some of my favorites that i don't wear often enough because i'm afraid they will wear out.
there were a lot of things i didn't get but wanted to. like this 125 doll-hair quilt. i suppose that is actually a great price for it, but i can't afford that right now. but i loved all of the old quilts i saw.
i had my heart set on something of the vintage pyrex variety and there was not stopping me!!! i found a teal casserole dish for $6 and i was really happy. i also got a little orange dish that i will eat cereal or something out of. buster got a gigantic enamel spoon. he's a dork.
frontal found some harry potter glasses from the 20's. i forgot to get a picture of him though.
