Coming Up Zero

Today was my first time in attendance at the monthly flea market/antiques market at the temple, although I probably went a little too late in the day (it having started at 7am but I was there well past noon, so whatever "treasures" were there were already snatched up by the dealers and etc), but it was still a fun time as I was able to see some nice things (not quite "antique" but older, of at least one or two generations before mine, which is not really ancient).

As usual, my material desires started to kick in and I was dead set on getting something, but all I could find was a little knick knack for a friend and it wasn't that good anyway, so she won't be seeing that in the mail anytime soon.  As for me, my eyes bulged out when I saw the possibility of a writing desk, but when push came to shove, I realized that in my otherwise small apartment, there would be no place for it to be used to its best ability.  There was also a walking stick, but then, as with every other time I think of getting one, I feel I best not, as it might jinx me (since I walk perfectly well, so far, knock on wood and all that)

Next time, though, I'm sure I will score a good deal many things.  As I always say, I've got a good feeling about it...

Ha!
