thursday (with a dash of friday)

more kid stuff. good times. extra cash=always great.

farmer's market. even gooder times. inexpensive, locally grown produce=supporting local business=always greater.
went to the thousand oaks farmer's market. beautiful day. warm breeze. plenty of parking. friendly farmers. no pushy people. bought six succulents for five bucks and the grower gave me fact sheets for each. yeah sure...more paper. but i'll use it in some artsy way.

headed toward home. great music. adore my vehicle (yes, oxymoronic to travel by car to the farmer's market); it's relatively economical and fun and feels super, especially in sixth gear.

treated myself to an iced latte using a gift card. thankful for that.

arrived home. unpacked goods. luxuriated with my coffee and a so-far-fun current read, Call Me By Your Name. super sexy.

probably won't have time to post tomorrow. so here's the plan...

carpool in the morning. yes i am on vacation but the better half works on the same side of town i am headed (why not save gas and money)=quality time together. awwww.

head to the library or grab some cheap eats at teddy's cafe. total greasy spoon. delicious bacon. independently owned and operated.

teach an art lesson to a couple of pretty cool kids.

go get a yummy pedicure (one of my vices, yet thrifty comparatively).

hang out at the beach, most likely (hopefully with another good read. next up No One Belongs Here More Than You by Miranda July). hey, FREE (so long as i continue to return my books on time)! i can park a ways a way and walk=save on exorbitant summer beach/tourist parking rates.

support a fellow artist friend in the evening. FREE! (except for the drinks later, most likely).

so all in all, another couple of sort-of adventurous days. at least in a relaxed adventure state. maybe that should be the name of this blog, the relaxed adventurer. will up the adventure ante in the near future...
