THIS AND THAT

If I haven't mentioned it.....along with my 3 week deadline to makeover 2 rooms it's market time here in Atlanta. I can't not go right?

Yesterday after a few morning appointments I drove down to see what's new.

Ha Ha. [That is God laughing]

I actually drove around for over 45 minutes searching for a parking space. FYI.....this has never happened before in 20 years of attending these shows 2 x's a year. I was getting pretty ~~mad~~ frustrated and maybe I started cussing about 20 minutes into the search. WTF!

I was having one of those conversations with myself that went something like this.....damn I would pay $50 for a space right now. [Usually I pay about $30 during market]. As soon as I uttered that statement and I was heading back out of town I saw a woman waving a flag....and she had a sign reading parking places...... $50.

I couldn't do it y'all. So I drove back to Buckhead [about 8.5 miles] parked my car at the Lindbergh Marta station [1/2 mile from my house] and took the train. Round trip: $4.

Perk:

120 steps up from the station....#maybeIburnedafewcalories.

But this is not the end of the story. You have to get your free parking ticket validated when you get off the train. Yep....you guessed it. As I was rounding each curve of the parking garage I remembered that I forgot that small detail.

Cost to park: $15. Total spent to save $20 dollars? Duh anyone can do that math.....$19. And a wasted hour.

If you made it through that story.....here are some pretty pictures to look at as a reward:)

Much better images of the 2015 Atlanta Holiday Home Showhouse!
