EAT, SHOP, PAY OR PRAY

What a busy weekend!!! 

Saturday was a blur of shopping and driving.  The original destination was Havana, Florida.  I have always wanted to go to Havana, Florida.  With a name like that, who wouldn't want to visit http://havanaflorida.com/ ?  Instead, we ended up driving here there and yonder in Tallahassee, which proved to be the wrong choice in retrospect.  Oh well, the day wasn't a complete waste.  Along the way, we made a few stops, and ate a most fabulous homestyle meal at a farmer's market.  Thank the Lord for the mouth watering pork and that scrumptious cinnamon roll.  I needed all the fortification I could get.  Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a HAPPY RUG in the HAPPY COLOR at the HAPPY FREAKING PRICE you want?  In case you don't, let me tell ya, the Holy Grail would probably be easier to find!   We are still rug-less and that succulent pulled pork was the best thing we found for all our efforts.  If we had a magic carpet, we could have hopped a ride to the ATL, but without knowing that urban sprawl inside out like we do our own mid-sized city, we would probably still be without that Happy Damn Rug! So, its time to bite the bullet and order the rug which we all like.  It's only money. Right?  

I spent the whole of yesterday in a neighboring state with someone whom I enjoy spending big chunks of time with.  We were wiling away some of those sweet hours in a Wal-Mart sized "antique" mall and had made our way about halfway through the building when I heard someone calling my name.  Slightly bewildered, since I wasn't anywhere near my home, I turned towards the voice, and attached to it, was my niece's father (no longer my brother-in-law), and with him was his latest wife.  Huh.  What are the odds of running into someone you haven't seen in at least a year in a neighboring state?  Pretty good I guess.   

I've been in three states this weekend, which sounds sorta exotic and jet setting, but really, all that feat takes is a car (zoom zoom), gas money, minimum stamina and a strategic geographical location.  Oh, let's not forget the pulled pork and cinnamon rolls.  We all need a little sinful sustenance along the way!!!
