See it started with this cabinet.holy sh!t right?!?
I know.
So in my night owlness, I stumbled upon an ad for a Hollywood estate sale that had this beauty for sale.
Since forever I have wanted one of these.
But I now longer have a ginormous car to hold it, so I need to borrow a truck.
Of course I call my good ole pal Jamie for help.
she laughs at me, but agrees with the pick up situation and I'm off to Hollywood.
and I show up to this.
A tv station filming this estate sale?!?
What was I thinking coming here?!?
Clearly one tract mind to the cabinet.
So I give the kids a "This place is REAL fancy, don't touch anything briefing" and we go on in.
I immediately ask were the piece is and head upstairs.
To my dismay and frugal bones, the cabinet was priced too high.
I contemplated it for a good 15 minutes, and before leaving, ask the head lady if I can call Sunday and see if its still there.
Maybe then she will sway on the price.
Tomorrow is judgement day.
Wish me luck.
So while in La, do as the LA people do.
It was a beautiful sunny day, so we walked and ate and played.
My little best friends are such troopers.
They even Paparazzied it with Mommy in front of the IVy.
and I snuck this shot in behind a few real paparazzi guys.
Look past the gelled out comb due and the girl with her head down is somebody famous I guess.
People were shooting pictures of her like crazy.
As I am taking pictures, Olivia nudges me and says " Are we gonna go eat in there or what Mom?"
yeah, and pay 30 bucks for a kids meal.
hell no.
Off to Mc Donald's we went and back home.
So goes our adventures.
