i did, however, google some stuff we did/saw. better fake than never, right?
we buzzed thru omaha on our way to lincoln. although anthro was fun, i think we actually had more fun at the apple store! ohhhhhhhh ahhhhhhhh. all the pretty macstuff makes us both very happy!
on saturday, the mother of all garage sales turned out to be not as good as we hoped. i think for me, the fact that there were 147 bazillion nebraskans fighting for the stuff was the major reason i did not really enjoy it so much. i did get a couple cute things there. lou spent $3 the whole weekend. i kind of think i don't know her anymore :)
it was also the wieberg family weekend. i got to hang out and get to know her dad better. i got to meet her aunt lisa and the whole family. i got to have dinner with grandpa and sandy, her step grandma. i got to hear the beep when her brother kept leaving text messages. plus, i got the benefit of all the family stories, especially about the family members who are slightly "off" - don't we all have those :) it was SO fun!
we did alot of eating. grandpa bought us all fried chicken at lee's - a lincoln classic. of course i loved the concrete chicken! we also ate at runza, and kristies favorite restaurant lazlo's, which was yummy. i kind of preferred ivanna cone, where i indulged in a dream called white chocolate apricot ice cream. aggggh! i will remember that forever :)
the ice cream shop was in the haymarket of lincoln, a kind of funky downtown spot which i think i would REALLY like in summertime (hint, hint).
and then, we did get some good antiquing in, too. my favorite place was probably nest, which has been featured on apartment therapy! ooooooooh. good stuff. lou and i want to redecorate both of our houses in vintage modern. go figure.
anyway, a great time was had by two. thanks for inviting me into your world, lou!

Thanks for surviving my world! Everyone at work is a little surprised that I only spent $3 also. I will have to work on that for next time.
Another successful art girl trip. I had so much fun!
Your weekend sounds wonderful! I might even be dreaming of that ice cream myself.
Funny words when put together:
concrete chicken
vintage modern
karen, concrete statues are a classic...you are right! sounds like a great band name!!
as for vintage modern, some folks call it "midcentury" modern...i kind of like the juxtaposition :)
glad you two had fun. i can only imagine the squeals in the mac store.
isn't it great when friends become part of your family?
