with no particular place to go...

On a Sunday afternoon after leaving a gathering of over 400+ people I breathed a sigh of relief as I headed off around town with less than a quarter tank of gas. With no particular destination known I just sat back at the wheel and let the vents of AC cool the roasting insides of my '91 Corolla. My trunk held the contents of my dirty clothes basket and detergent. Darn, I forgot my favorite family 'laundromat' was not available, because the owner was out-of-town at their ranch in OK for the weekend. (So much for clean bedding.) It was just me, my car, my laundry, and the open road. And though it was approaching lunch hour I did not stop at any of the restaurants I passed as I cruised the streets of South Austin. I wasn't hungry, but I did have the urge to go shopping. There was no one to hurry me through a store and no one to 'keep-an-eye-on'... a perfect time to shop Goodwill. The nearest was across town and I ended up nearly driving in a full circle just to get there. Goodwills can be a dirty place to shop, but they can also be so much fun. I found a number of very good finds. I love it when you find brand-new clothes, and I do mean brand-new, complete with the tags still attached. Wheee! What a steal! Who would pay full price for clothing when you can get lucky at the Goodwill?! After an hour or two my tummy started to growl and I craved a Freebird burrito. Mmm Mmm Good. So I drove back to the shopping place by my apartment and proceeded to inhale a 1/2-bird-chicken-on-a-spinach-tortilla. Yum! yum. After creating a foil-decoration for their wall (you'll have to see this place, it's definitely an Austin-hot-spot) I drove home to show Molly my 'goods'. Being quite happy with my afternoon 'alone' I was ready to return to the Foremost hall to face the 400+ again.
