its saturday

I got up picked up one of my friends and headed to the swap meet. I haven't been on a Saturday and I know why now. It was PACKED. We even got there early. Wednesday is definately the day to go & EARLY cuz of the heat. She had never been, she picked up gifts for family since she is going home on vacation. She did a good job shopping too. I left dd & dh home it was weird not having her with me..I felt like I was forgetting something. She even mentioned it was weird not having my sidekick along with me.

Also stocked back up on DVD's thanks to CompUSA.

I got home ate lunch and watched good ol' Paula. I even saw a local show and they were showcasing a resturant at Ala Moana and they had stuffed artichokes. I have never seen them stuffed like we stuff them..served at a resturant. It makes me wonder what they are charging and how they taste.

One of the things Paula made today....instead of writing them down i am just gonna keep the ones I want here. I love this WOMEN!!! I watch her daily 2 different show so it will be easier if I get the recipes I want by each show.
