Friday's {Frugal} Find

-
What: Umbrella 
Where: THE STREET
Cost: Free
Needed?: According to Kent, he's been in desperate need of one for quite some time.

I* was driving the family around one afternoon. 

*I'm not sure why I was driving because I n-e-v-er drive us 

Kent began to yell, "An umbrella! Turn around! Turn around!"
Me: "Omygoshomygosh no way. There's probably a car coming. It's probably all bent up"
Kent: "Turn the car around!"

Then I thought, duh, he would totally do it for me.

So I turned around, drove up next to the umbrella and Kent opened his door and scooped it up. This all took place in front of a fancy, gated community. NO SHAME. 

Ok. A little shame.

In the end I was beaming with pride at my Thrifting Apprentice. And he was happy with his find because, "I've been stuck in the rain like, 3 times without an umbrella!"

Did today feel different to you? Special in any way? Today, February 17, marks T E N Y E A R S of blogging for me! Whaaaattttt.

After maxing out the free storage on my first blog, I switched to Packin' Parkers  until I landed at my current blog. Will you do me a huge favor? After ten years of clicking away on various keyboards, bearing my heart and soul to you  (guilt tactics in full force) and sharing pictures of those near and dear to me... Will you tell me who you are? I'm dying to know who my readers are! I know a few of you, but I'm curious to know who my lurkers are. I am the number one blog lurker, no shame. Reveal yourself! 1.

I wear fancy shoes while reading books next to my sister  I recently asked to wear a princess dress for the first time  I try to put on my sisters' panties when they're not around  I eat cereal with a spoon like a big girl  I "help" mom sort laundry by taking one pile out of the basket and putting it in a different (wrong) basket, all while naming the person that the article of clothing belongs to "ehyaehya DADDY ehyaaah MOMMY....eeeeMINE...."
