Flea Market Hunting & Other Shenanigans.

Today was a very eventful day! Matthew and I literally went from one corner of Springfield to the other. But it was so fun! 

First we went to a flea market off Trafficway. Honestly, I couldn't tell you the name of it. But we found some super awesome tables there! They're originally from Pier 1 Imports. We got them for $30! What a steal, right?


We're gonna paint the smallest one and the biggest one red and then the middle one black. It's gonna be super cute! After that flea market we went to Vendor's Mart over on Glenstone. We found a table to put in front of our bed. We're going to paint it black and do the trim red. Here's that table:





We got that awesome table for $12! Basically so awesome. I'm really excited about it! (If you can't tell). I wasn't read to end our adventures after Vendor's Mart, so we stopped at an antique place near Vendor's Mart. Buuuut... it was sketchy and there was SO MUCH stuff EVERYWHERE. We didn't stay there very long. After that I convinced Matt to go to Vintage Stock to look for a Gamecube and Animal Crossing. I used to play that game and I looooved it. So we bought a Gamecube. They didn't have the game there. 

 Since they didn't have the game there, we went to Game Stop, the other branch of Vintage Stock, and Entertainmart. NONE OF THEM HAD ANIMAL CROSSING. I was so upset. Since our search was over for the time being, we decided it was probably time for dinner. We went Ruby Tuesday. Here's some evidence in the form of their delicious biscuits:





 Those were delicious and our dinner was too! Our adventures of the day weren't quite over though. We then went Lowe's to buy paint for our new tables. At that point it started raining, and so we headed home. 

I was not about to accept defeat in not finding Animal Crossing, so I turned to the awesome internet. I searched Amazon, Ebay, and Craigslist. FINALLY, I found something on Craigslist. The seller was actually selling a bundle of 8 games (one of which was Animal Crossing) and some other stuff. They wanted $150 for it. Well, I didn't care about the other games. So I replied and told them I'd give them $15 for Animal Crossing and the memory card. AND THEY SAID YES! So Matthew and I are meeting them tomorrow morning to get my game. OH MY WORD, I can't tell you how excited I am.



As if our day wasn't full enough, I also did school work. I completed a pretest, post test, media assignment, and three chapter exams. HOLY MOLY. This was such a busy Sunday, but it was so awesome. I loved every second of it. Even the seconds where I was angry about not finding the game. Now though, I'm going to go enjoy a big bowl of ice cream!
