this weekend we ...

This weekend we did a million little things like watch big daddy and fun with dick and jane back to back which turned out to be a lot more entertaining than expected. Mom and I went on a hunt for good garage sales and came home with no luck only to discover that our neighbor was having an enormous estate sale ... one of those good ones with lots of quality stuff and practically giving it out for free. I came home with a 1920s desk lamp, skirts, old books, purses and a vintage sewing machine that Aaron was kind enough to let me buy without knowing for sure that it really works. ah, but isn't that part of the fun?! Then sunday night we went to the beach ... and played chess ... because that's just how we roll. We grew up in LA and even with our college campus being just 15 min from the beach, we were never really beach goers. However when we DO go to the beach, we have a habit of bringing along a chess set and setting it out on the bench like a couple of old men. Yup, that's who we are - we enjoy a nice game of chess on the beach, a dinner date at costco, an afternoon stroll through ikea ... if that makes us odd, at least we've found each other.
