The story of the thrift stores!!

September 11th

It was a cold, cloudy day and no one was seen in town. Two girls wandered from store to store looking for something......DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, story mode over. Back to blog mode...I guess that's what it'd be called since this is a blog.

That story kind of has a story to it, but it wasn't cold and cloudy, it was just a normal probably sunny day. Kacia and I have wanted to go thrift store shopping for a while now, we'd plan it on IM. We finally got to go on Thursday.

In the morning after we got ready we were waiting to leave and Ben didn't seem happy that morning. He wasn't in a bad mood or anything, just not smiling. Kacia kept telling him to put on a happy face and to smile, she'd sing too. None of it worked. My mom took us to Goodwill in Junction City and we were looking at the books. Without noticing what I had picked up, I showed a book to Kacia. She looked at it and said that she was going to buy it for Ben. The book was called 'Put On a Happy Face!'

We came home after that to take Ben to HomeSource. Kacia gave it to him in the car and he was trying not to smile. She read it on the way. When we got there, she asked if she could have a tour of HomeSource, so I took her all over. It was a short tour because it's such a small school, and very very crowded during lunch. You don't want to be there at that time O_O

We got back in the car and drove to some thrift stores. Our favorite one was St. Vincent De Paul. It was more random stuff and a ton of books. In the book section I found a book called 'Fat No More' and I showed it to Kacia and she wanted to buy it for Matt, but it was $4.00 dollars and that's sort of a lot for a joke book. Matt's nickname is Fat Matt because at Sister Heather's wedding Matt sat in a chair and it broke so now we call him that. He likes it though. So we didn't buy it, but we took some books and put them together for a picture.

As we walked towards the clothing I found a jacket that looked like a rug.
The thing about the sleeves is from Napolean Dynamite lol.
I found those shoes and Kacia had me try them on for the pic. She was wondering if they were meant for wearing so I said that I wouldn't stand in them all the way...but I thought for a second...and came up with "wait, if I put them both on, then of course I'll stand in them all the way" Kacia laughed at me.

I also found a 'kitten mitten' and I thought it was 'kitchen mitten' and I put it on and asked how are you supposed to cook with this.

This is a very cool mask. I sort of wish I bought it so that I could use it in movies ^_^Kacia and I got a little tired of thrift stores because we had been shopping for hours, so we went to the Valleyriver mall to get something to eat and hang out till Matt got off work so he could take us to see Kung Fu Panda. Her and I went to the Halloween store and I found some small glasses
Matt came to pick us up and took us to the Gateway mall to eat dinner. We had McDonald's

Ronald's our role model!

After Kung Fu Panda, we drove home and played cards then went to bed.

Oh yeah, also at one of the thrift stores I found this emo toy. It was a boy dressed in all black, his hair was black and for some reason his mouth was black, and his skin was white. I picked him up and said "what's wrong with this guy" then I squeezed him and he screamed! It kind of scared me because I wasn't expecting it, but we both cracked up. For some reason I forgot to take a picture of it, and it was the funniest thing we found too. So I drew him the best I could remember.

You guys must of had a lot of fun shopping. Maybe I should read one of those books, it might help me with overeating. lol You should have bought that mask, it's awesome and we definitely could have used it in movies.
