Great day yesterday. We got up early and headed down to the flea market around 7:30. We got there a little after 8. Nothing was quite setup yet and it was actually really enjoyable walking around in the quiet. No big crowds, no crazy heat, just being able to scope out what things we might be interested in and getting a lay of the land. While we waited for everyone to get setup we had some breakfast. I had a great chorizo breakfast burrito. It was quite tasty. When we were done more vendors were ready to go. B was looking for a purse she decided. She also wanted to find some boots for her trip back home. I decided I was going to find her anniversary gift. We walked and talked until about 1 including a lunch break - tamales and rice and beans. We ended up leaving with new boots for her ($20!) and I did find her anniversary present. I haggled at three different vendors until I got the price and package I wanted. I got her a working N64 with two controllers, memory pack, and three games for $90. She loved it. I had been wanting to find her one for Christmas but things just didn't line up. We headed out from the market and had to make one quick stop on the way home. Our friend went to the dispensary to pick her up something. Luckily they live pretty close to the flea market and it wasn't a big deal hitting their house on the way home. Once more we had an east coast/west coast moment for B. When my friend handed her over the jar of Purple Cadillac she was amazed at the quality. She also remarked on the way home how easy it was to do all that where as back home it would have involved four phone calls, meeting in some secret location, etc. Not a nice jar with a UPC code on it. Got home around 3 and we both decided to nap. I woke up at 4:30 and around 5 ordered pizza. B woke up at 5:30 and we were sitting on the couch and she looked at me all sad and said "I can haz food soon?". I said sure and left it at that. She gave me a quizzical look but didn't say anything. 10 minutes later there's a knock on the door. Tada. Food. After dinner we decided to play scrabble. OH MAN! First draw, first word, seven letters. Bam off to a 99 point lead. While B was frustrated at my opening move, she kept playing. Final score? 383 to 209. A good game for her, but a GREAT game for me. We then watched TV for a while and headed to bed around midnight. I had tried making bananas foster for dessert but I only had little bananas and it came out too dry. When we got in bed we laid there and talked for quite a while. It was nice. We talked about the past present and future which was nice. I think it was finally around 1 when we fell asleep.
Today we have nothing planned. Should be a good day.
