My friend asked if I wanted to hit the bins with her last night. I was so excited, cause its been a while and she is the only person I know that can dig through those bins with such force and reckless abandon as me.  We did a great job and left with 26 lbs of stuff(or crap as some like to say).

Lately when I arrive home after work I find my daughter sitting on the couch watching Friends. I love to sit and watch Friends with my girls but sometimes I think we may watch the show a bit too much. For example on Sunday we were sitting at a restaurant eating lunch and our 12 year old asks; "What does a restraining order mean?" My husband and I look at each other, wondering where she heard this word, so I asked, "Why are you asking?" and her reply, "well remember when Phoebe gets a restraining order?". We started laughing. Or another good one would be when she told us; "I had a dream and Joey and Chandler were in it". See my dilemma?

I did a little shopping today at my favorite thrift store – the Red, White & Blue Thrift Store in Gladstone, Oregon. After a nice lunch with my mom, I decided I would stop by the Red, White & Blue to see what I could find. They have the best deals in thrift shopping with specials for everyone everyday. And apparently on Wednesdays its Senior Citizen day and they get 50% off everything. I was so bummed when I heard that because I had just dropped my mother off at her house. But it didn't stop me from finding some great deals without the discount.

Today is National Thrift Shop Day! I hope you all can take a trip, even if its a quick one, to your local thrift shop and check out their specials in honor of National Thrift Shop Day. I have a pretty busy day but I am hoping I can do a quick 10 minute stop by at the Lil' Gypsy down the street. Ok scratch that idea, they are closed on Mondays. I will have to see if they have anything going on at the Goodwill near our house.

Every few weeks(as you may or may not know) my family along with some friends, like to make a trip to some of our favorite restaurants/shops on Alberta St.

This time we tried something new – The Grilled Cheese Grill – where I tried the BABS, which is Bacon, Apple, Blue Cheese, Swiss on Rye. It was delicious! You can eat in the bus or out under the umbrellas.

One of my favorite stores to visit in Portland is Buffalo Exchange. I always seem to find way too many clothes that I want to take home and have a hard time leaving anything behind.
