Tyler and I went to another auction yesterday. We didn’t enjoy it as much as last time. First of all, we left late and neglected to eat a proper breakfast, which would haunt us later. Then we got a flat tire on the way there. By the time we finally arrived we were pretty punchy. We became grumpier as we realized that we were in the middle of nowhere and all there was to eat were burgers and junkfood (neither of us eat meat). We filled up on chips, chocolate and pie and drank coffee to keep warm as we waited for the items we were interested in to come up. It took forever. It was very cold. We were standing in mud. Thankfully we didn’t leave empty handed. We purchased a coffee table and bookshelf for $2. However, we spent $12 on junkfood. Next time we’re packing sandwiches!
