rummage sale

i went to a rummage sale today with Natalie and mom. i usually don't like going to rummage sales because you have to look through piles and piles of clothing to find something that you may be interested in purchasing. Natalie and mom are really into them though. As soon as we got there and opened the door, they both exclaimed "Shoes!" simultaneously.

My feet are size 10 so I rarely if ever have any luck finding second hand shoes for myself. In fact, I don't think I have ever bought a pair of shoes that were second hand since I was a kid.

Luckily for me, the venue was also selling things to eat and drink so I got a hot dog with relish and mustard and some potato chips and a root beer. I walked back over to the tables that Natalie and mom were rummaging through - scarfing down my hot dog on the way - and I ran into my aunt, who also loves rummage sales. I asked her if she wanted any chips, she said no and then she reprimanded me for having a plate of chips in my hand, said I would need two hands for rummaging.

And then Natalie said the exact same thing to me.

I ended up getting into it late in the game and I found some tops that I liked and mom found a few pairs of pants for me, so all in all it was a pretty fun expedition.

I've been working on my comedy set the last few days and I'm really excited to get back out on stage. The show is a couple of weeks away, and I know that will fly by, and this time I will be more prepared because I am planning on going to a couple of different open mics and fine tuning the set before the show.
