Today was an errand day. Hubby has to work on Saturday so he had today off. So we slept until we woke up. I got a call at 930am but sent it to voice mail and went back to sleep. Hubby woke up half and hour later, and I woke up half an hour after that.
Hubby and I talked and decided what errands we needed to do today. Highest priority is getting two payday loans to pay off two other payday loans. We are skating them until we can afford to start paying them off in June. The wedding is the most important thing we have to pay for right now. Pay day loans are an evil until themselves but came in handy when we needed.
We fed the beasties and headed out of the house. We ran into a guy named John, who we found out bought the house next door to us. He is a house flipper and thought the previous owner's son moved in and fixed it up pretty good, it is still outdated in some areas and John is teaching his boys how to work on houses, so it will be a good long while before we get new neighbors. Bummer as I was looking forward to getting to know a new neighbor.
So our first two stops of the day were the pay day loan places getting new loans. These are places where hubby has done lots of business so it didn't take us long. Afterward, hubby took me to La Baugette for lunch. See, every once in a while I get a craving for their La Vegetarian sandwich, a slew of veggies including avocado on a freshly baked crescent roll with a balsamic glaze. And just the other day I had told hubby that when we got paid again, I wanted to go, so he took me there today. Yum!
After a wonderful lunch where I could only eat half of my sandwich, the other half I will eat tomorrow for lunch, we headed over to The Mill Outlet, a fabric store. I had talked to Cassie, my daughter, and gotten her new wedding colors, cream, amethyst, and turquoise. So I need to get stiff fabric to make the fabric flowers to put the broaches on to make the wedding bouquet. The pictures Cassie sent me of the bouquets that she wanted are pretty squashed together broaches, lots of them, and your don't really see the fabric flowers under there. I told Cassie I would do the best I could and send her a picture of it once it is done. So I found the fabric to match the colors as close as I could, the cream and turquoise were a stiff fabric at $14.76 a yard. I got 20% off the cream because it had a wonky hem. The amethyst was a nylon that was pretty thing was only $6.46 a yard. All together the total was just a few pennies under $77. Surprised the heck out of me! This is turning out to be a very expensive wedding bouquet. I am hoping to get a couple of bouquets out of this. One of Cassie and maybe a couple of bridesmaid's ones.
We dropped by the drug store to drop off a prescription and pick one up then headed for home. When we turned down our street, I saw a sign for an estate sale so we stopped by. I found an original Hagen-Renaker Boston Terrier Pup vintage miniature and a Royal Heritage Koala Bear figurines. I paid the lady $2 for them, knowing that they were worth more. When I got home, I did some research on the website and found out both are vintage pieces. The Boston Terrier Pup is in great shape and is still on the original paper so is worth about $10 - $12. The Koala doesn't have a certificate of authenticity but it does have the stamp so is worth about $9.50 - $12. Tomorrow I want to take pictures of them and put them up on either Etsy or eBay.
Hubby had to go back out and go grocery shopping so when he did, he got a lot. I asked him to get everything to make 2 hearty chicken casseroles, one for us and one for the family of my fellow Red Hatter, Lori, who passed away a couple of days ago. We are going to take it over to her house tomorrow. Lori's memorial service is Wednesday and the Red Hatter's are getting together at 10am in our outfits and going in group. There is a reception afterwards.
Hubby and I ended our day by watching a couple of episodes of Netflix's series Z Nation, about the zombie apocalypse. Fun!
