#bird shit

Lovely morning of shopping in the tiny town of Edenton, NC which is all decked out for Xmas.

Then a couple of salads at a little bistro on the Main Street. I had the best spinach salad. Followed by a couple more shops.

I struck out everywhere! I was looking for Nonpareils for James’ stocking but no one seems to sell them anymore. A couple places had snow caps but I wasn’t about to pay $2 for a box with 12 choc chips in it. Besides, I wanted the old timey kind. Oh well. Maybe we’ll find them when I’m not actively looking for them.

When we went to the antique store, the butthead bought the gift I was going to buy for his stocking! I knew he’d like it and she gave him a good price, so I can’t blame him, but gotdam, he’s gonna have an empty stocking if he doesn’t quit it!

Called it a day after a couple more places and went back to the Yukon to find a flock of berry-eating feathered bastards (yes, that’s an official bird name) had explosive diarrhea all over the hood. And it’s so cold today, it’s basically going to take a hot bath to get the damn truck clean.
