You don’t understand, no-one does. When a woman makes the choice to marry, to have children; in one way her life begins but in another way it stops. You build a life of details. You become a mother, a wife and you stop and stay steady so that your children can move. And when they leave they take your life of details with them. And then you’re expected move again only you don’t remember what moves you because no-one has asked in so long. Not even yourself. You never in your life think that love like this can happen to you. -Francesca, Bridges of Madison County

Random and Odd

If my weekend was more exciting I would probably explode.

Did you detect the sarcasm?

Saturday Shaun and I went on our thrift store hunt. He manages to find really cool clothes and I end up looking at coffee cups and purses from the 70’s. I’m the worst thrift shopper in history.

It seems like every time I go in those stores the smell makes me have to poop. I walk around with stomach cramps and then go franticly searching for Shaun. “I’m done. Let’s go.”
This time it wasn’t so bad. I was on a search for something particular. Shea has decided she wants a fake fur jacket. I searched every shop and didn’t find any her size that was under 30 bucks. In the process I found an old coffee cup that looked like the one my grandmother had. After I found that, I decided that I am going to find ALL those coffee cups and spend all my .50 on them.

Six thrift stores later, I had two cups.

I’m tellin’ ya…thee worst thrift shopper. EVER.
