Today we went to Durham's Flea Market to see what all the hype was about. I keep talking about food, but buying handmade mozzarella cheese and locally raised sausage really makes me smile. I might have found a mini-passion here. Plus check out the gorgeous colors on these veggies. North Carolina plants seem to really love flashing their peacock feathers.
We also had a great lunch at Toast, an Italian Sandwich shop downtown. It was so wonderful- I love how creative Durham-ers are with their food! I'm so in love with this place.
So many photos from our mini-vacation!! For the most part they're self explanatory, but here's a quick list of what we did while in Columbus.
1. Visited cousin Terry's house and beautiful garden for the first time.
2. Went to a family reunion, where there were a lot of babies. It was a side of the family I don't really know at all, so it was a big surprise toes so many young'uns!
3. Went to the zoo!
Hope you enjoyed! And here's an interesting fact: I've still got tons more to go!
What a wonderful week, crushed by a terrible, terrible ending.
You all may (hopefully?) have noticed my lack of, well, anything in the blog world this past week or so
(dare I say two weeks? Surely not!)
because I've been savoring my last week with Chris.
That's right- last week. Until Thanksgiving, or maybe Christmas break.
We've had a really great week, half in his town and half in mine, and I really can't complain about a single thing- except that our week had to end.
I do realize this is way, overly mushy, and that my mother/grandma/aunt/(dad?) who have read this blog are currently rolling their eyes and getting icky slimy feelings in their stomachs. But I'm okay with that.
I just miss my boyfriend. He's just way fun.
Plus Sadie will miss him. She told me that they're best friends.
Can you argue with that?
So I should be back into the world of the internet now, instead of the world of real life.
Here's a juicy tidbit for you, though.
When I was in Tennessee with Truchi we went to see a concert.
These guys:
Of Montreal, for those poor souls who are currently un-informed
and this little lady happened to be there
It's Janelle Monae!! For reall!!!
and they sang this!
And it made me and Truchi's week cooler- although it was near perfect to begin with anyway.
Tune in tomorrow, when I tell you about my disgusting internet discovery. I'll give you a clue- it has to do with eyeliner, plastic bags, and severe, society-crippling amounts of vanity.
