5 for 5: Rachel's five reasons this week was wonderful!

Reason #1: Surprise Flea Markets! We just stumbled upon a great little flea market that had, among other things, a vintage video camera Complete with lenses, two rolls of film, and a handy 'how-to' booklet inside a cute lil' leather case. We are going to be the power couple who reinvented silent film for the modern age.

Reason #2: Asparagus and Zucchini on sale. The husbot and I have been eating this stuff non-stop, all day, for every meal. We may have a fiber overload soon. 

Reason #3: Whoopie Pies and old ladies. Hus-bot and I (can you tell yet that we don't have any other friends..haha!) got the chance to play skip-bo with some of the ladies at the local assisted living facility. We had a crack-up time and took some footage on our new old camera. Can't wait to win at least once next time.

Reason #4: Bean. This is our mouse Bean that we got on accident. A gift that went awry. Frankly, I don't like animals. So much so, that I don't even eat them. But hus-bot on the other hand love animals, namely cats. Which happen to be the worst animal ever. This little guy is our compromise. The other day he ate a quarter of a hamburger and drank a thimble of coffee. Definitely a keeper.

Reason #5: Baby fever. Or as Hansie likes to call it 'baby golem'. This little troll doll is our niece, Iz, and she is the cutest little sproutling ever and I want to squish her face off all the time...

I wish the cute little couple that made her didn't live in Texas.

What a dumb state.

5 for 5: Rachel's five reasons this week was wonderful.

1. I was pleasantly surprised on Monday, when I went to the dollar store in search of some batteries and instead found a mustard yellow nail polish. The color name? SHOCK. Too perf!

2. My new shoes I got Tuesday, I love being artificially tall…

3. So on wednesday I had to read a paper on the mating activity of Balloon Flies and this INCREDIBLE quote made the paper worth not skimming:

"This observation led him to propose the fantastic theory that the male hilaras use the flattened objects as aeronautical surfboards on which to cavort among the sunbeams."

4. New favorite Thursday pastime: Reading in the bath until the water freezes over from the cold winter air that has taken up residence in our apartment

5. Friday: Should I use the 800$ to pay for a semester of school or use the money for this bag from Jcrew?
