Yesterday was the last day of Chris's vacation. We started off the day with a trip to a flea market. It's new, but it's not. Meaning, there's been a flea market once a month for years at the Rose Bowl. The same people who run that decided to have one at the fairgrounds every few months as well. We had a ball! I had so much fun showing Tabitha all these toys that I had when I was a kid. One booth had some fabulous stuff, but he must have thought it was a collectors show. $110 for a Snow White Barbie, I think not! Chris found an old rotary phone for which he had been looking for the play. One booth was full of Nazi memorabilia (complete with a guy in uniform that made me want to hide my German heritage under a rock) and they had a rotary phone. $120. Did Hitler himself use it or something? A few booths down we found the exact same phone for five bucks. Much better. We also found an über-cool hanging lamp shade. It's a similar style as the one we have in the living room that we bought at a thrift store years and years ago. We were so stoked to find it and it too was only five bones so naturally we bought it. Now to buy a lamp kit and figure out where to put it. We were thinking our room since we just got rid of a very old light in there and only have our "mostly for decoration only takes a 20 watt bulb" lamp. But this new shade is burgandy and gold which doesn't really go. So I'm thinking the living room since we have a gorgeous blue lamp and our couch is a striking purple so we could go with a sort of mishmash of jewel tones. Plus, we need another lamp in the living room too so it would be useful. The only other items we bought were more Golden Books for Tabs. We also saw an old Disneyland autograph book, sans autographs even, and decided to think on it and never went back to get it. I do wish we had. Maybe we'll hit the Rose Bowl flea market next month. Their tagline is "Where the stars shop" lol.

Speaking of stars, Chris ran into Morgan Spurlock at the airport last night when he went to pick up his parents. We have a strict no bothering celebs when they are with family rule, but he was just by himself sitting and waiting for someone so Chris bent the rule and told him how much he loves 30 Days. He was thanked, they shook hands and Chris went on his way. He was very happy about it and called me immediately to tell me :)

Today was supposed to be the day Chris drove down to San Diego for work but there were tons of conferance calls for him this morning and they didn't want him to use a cell so he worked from home then headed out to a closer store for awhile to do a bit more work. Since my inlaws were back in town we went over there in the late afternoon so they could see their babies and had an early dinner with them. We talked them into Pick Up Stix and it was as good as it sounded on the menu. Kung Pao Tofu was positively yummy! The Mongolian Tofu was okay, but not as good. Cream Cheese filled crispy wontons were more yum. I was quite sated and cannot wait to try other menu items.

Chris is at rehearsal and I popped one kid in bed, played a game with the other, then popped her in bed as well. Now to start the exciting adventure of washing diapers and sorting laundry. Woo Hoo! LOL
