At any rate, Saturdays are the days that my son and I, get together with my mother and hit up the local farmers market. I decided to bring my camera along, although it ended up getting taken by my toddler and used as he saw fit (these few pictures are compliments of him).
One of my favorite things about Saturday, is being able to enjoy shopping with my mom. We only see each other once a week, so we usually end up grocery shopping, and eating dinner with her and her significant other.
I just love hanging out in Soulard where our Farmers Market it. The people are so nice and friendly. I don't think one person minded that my child was snapping pictures left and right (seriously, I ended up with like 500 pictures on the camera). There is a ton of bars, and quite a few playgrounds that are around this area. A pet shop too!
When I first moved to America, the pet shop was were my mom usually left me, as she shopped around the market place. The owner and I got along really well, and I loved helping out with the animals while I was there. Now, before anyone freaks out I was probably around 8 or 9 when my mom left me by my self, and the shopping gets done in under 20 minutes, and since we were all friendly with each other, my mom (nor I, looking back) thought there was any kind of danger there.
Anyway, I miss being able to spend time with animals like I used to. And I'm pretty sure Diane is going to be retiring soon, and who knows what will happen to that quaint little pet shop?
But anyway, being that the beautiful day that it is. When we all got to my mothers, we unloaded and my mom decided to take Ducia outside with the cat and rabbit. For dinner, we were suppose to make golubtsy, but since they came in around seven, it seems unlikely. Which is a damn shame.
Because I'm pretty sure Ducia would have loved one, and I'm sure my husband would have enjoyed them as well. Anyway, usually we always end up eating dinner together, but I suppose since the plan for today was just a drop and go - that ended up not being the case. So I decided to indulge myself in some potato perogi, while Ducia had pizza rolls with decaf Chai tea (eeeeccckkk!). Our laundry machine broke a while ago, so I find myself spending excessive time at my mothers on weekends catching up on most our laundry. We're suppose to get a new machine in the next month, but things always seem to come up with the landlord, and bless his heart, Jose doesn't want to step on any toes. The woman we rent our townhouse from is super nice, but really doesn't handle any of the repairs and the man that does is often, a flake. So here I am, listening to my laundry dry from down stairs and enjoying a glass of Shiraz.

Tomorrow should prove to be a far more eventful day. We're suppose to repaint our bathroom, check out the gym we joined yesterday, and possibly start painting our living room, if Jose ever gets around to sanding the wall filler. Plus, tomorrow is the ThurtenE Carnival tomorrow with my inlaws (while my mother checks out the botanical gardens, jealous!) which should be a lot of fun. Its suppose to be at least 66 tomorrow, which means light sweater weather. I'm pretty excited.
On a very final note, while at the Market, I saw the cutest little dog. Her tail and ears had been dyed pink! I have been looking into pet safe dyes for a while now, and I recently learned that using kool aid, is pretty effective in dying a dogs hair. I've been thinking about streaking my Pom's hair. I'll see if I go through with it this week.
