In which I learn how to go to the dump
Before I start...for an adoption update click here . Yeah, pretty exciting, huh?
Now that that is out of the way...the weekend in review!
I really needed some "Zabel" time this weekend so I decided Friday afternoon to pack my bags and hit the road to Skaneateles to spend some time with my mom and dad. I had a great time just hanging out and shopping at the outlets with my mom. Mom got a great deal on some silverware and I bought a pair of shoes! NY has tax on clothing, and NJ doesn't, so I didn't buy anything else. Dad was in a big Regatta this weekend, so I didn't get to see as much of him as I normally do, but I thoroughly enjoyed the time we did have.
I got home late Sunday afternoon, and was quickly whisked back out the door to go to the Blueclaws game. Went to get on line to get tickets, and some man offered us free ones! Yay us! The blueclaws however were not so lucky...when we left in the 8th inning it was 12-0! Not a good day for them - oh well, it was fun.
So now the dump story...I learned how to go to the dump!! LOL!! I had never been to the dump...at least not without someone who knew what they were doing. Mom and I were on "dump duty" this weekend because dad was busy with the regatta - he usually takes care of the weekly dump run. So mom and I were schooled in "dump ettiquette" which I must say there really is none. I patiently waited in line only to learn there really was not a line and as long as you could carry the garbage bag it was pretty much who ever could get their bag into the bin first. Fortunately there are no rude people in Skaneateles, so after figuring out the process was able to get the garbage out of the car an into the proper bins - of which there are 5 and are very poorly marked. My fellow dumpers must have felt they were being stalked as I sat starring at people trying to figure out what they were dumping where! Oh well...it was learning experience. Dad is no longer allowed to attend a regatta on dump day.
