Where Have I Been????

Alas, I have been remiss in upkeeping this wonderful blog - been feeling a little under the weather.  But, I have picked up a few nice things and would like to share them.  But, first - let me tell you a little about my weekend.

I did have a two day weekend this past week (YAY) and got to head off to a storage unit auction.  First of all, let me give you a little heads up - Google Maps SUCK.  Why was I using Google Maps instead of, say, a nice GPS system you may be asking...even if you aren't I'm going to tell you. :)  I purchased a Tom Tom because I know that I have a tendency to get lost.  Yes, I can read a map, yes I am good with directions, but still...I get lost.  Rambling today - sorry, back to the Tom Tom.  I just got my new Tom Tom and it was very very nice, worked well and was easy to use.  Except for the suction cup that holds it to my dash - sucker (ha ha) came loose and it fell and crashed into my console.  Cracked the screen and no more Tom Tom.  Since I bought it through an online auction site Tom Tom would not replace the sucker.  So, I was stuck with using Google Maps to find the storage unit auction I was going to attend.  They had me on the wrong side of the town - on the wrong street - and actually heading in the opposite direction.  After futilely looking for the place I called the storage site and got directions.  These directions were so good that I only had to stop and ask for additional directions three more times before I found the place.  I got there finally, late but there.

Then, so my luck would continue to be completely bad - they decided that they were going to sell off each individual item in the units.  Not a box, not a container - they opened each box and sold the items out of the box.  No opportunity to find a nice surprise, no opportunity to luck out with a great item, and no excitement at all.  If I wanted to attend a traditional auction I would have gone to an auction house which has nice comfortable seats and where I don't have 50 tall people standing in front of me blocking my view.  Needless to say, I did not stay.  But, so the day would not be a complete loss I decided to hit a few yard sales and thrift stores on my way home.  It was an interesting day to say the least :)
