Well, it started comically because I apparently need coaching on how to read an analog clock that isn't labeled with all 12 numbers individually. I've never had an issue with my watch [you know the type, the two hands and then only four dots indicative of 15-minute segments] until last night, when I obviously misread when trying to reset my clocks. There's a bout of ridiculous construction happening in our townhouse complex; I noticed the 3-foot deep trench circling halfway around my building Thursday night on my way home from work, and yesterday there was a collection of Bobcats parked in various spots around the yard and parking lot. At some point during Friday, they managed to knock out our power, so to bring that story full circle, reading my watch correctly would've been nice, since I proceeded to reset all the clocks an hour fast.
*High five, Cori.

| clayton farmer's market fun |
The best part about all of that was that it was last night, and I didn't realize it until I was heading down the highway entrance ramp en route to Lambert. I finally looked at the clock in the car and it definitely read 8:30am, not 9:30. I took the opportunity to make a pitstop at the Fifth Third over in Clayton to deposit the check the USPS finally sent me in response to my begging to fix my damaged camera. I happened across Companion, an adorable deli at which my parents and I later stopped after we met at the airport. It worked out for the best, because a mini farmer's market was well underway by the time we made it back to Clayton, so of course we scored some fresh veggies before brunch. 
On our way back from MO, we stopped in Glen Carbon, more specifically the Goodwill and Slackers. Mom and I found a dresser we decided we had to have for Sydni's room, and Dad took Sydni to the Petsmart to oogle at the puppies outside at the adoption fair.
We finally made it back to the house, where we ate lunch and then spent the rest of the day playing outside and catching up on any and all family happenings since the wedding. I seriously wish Joe were here.
To wrap things up, Mom and I made some incredible veggie stir-fry for dinner, and after we were all fed, it was one more round of Finding Nemo (this movie......) before bathtime, teeth-brushing-and-flossing, bedtime story, and bed.
Church tomorrow. :)
