snow boots....

I'm so glad weather here in british columbia is back to normal now, well, its still winter though but the snow is just once in a while, like one day or just half day in a week, mostly raining 4 or 5 days a week. I can live with that, i had enough snow, one or 2 days of snow is fun but not more than that hehhe.....Now that winter is almost over, snow boots are on sale, mostly half the price, there are some 70% off. I remember me and my husband tried to look for a snow boots in several department stores last december but we cant find one as its always sold out, it sells like a cake, we just bought fancy ones which is not really good in our feet, but we dont have a choice, need to have one even if not that great. When winter started last october, ofcourse snow boots was displayed in every departments stores here, but i never bothered to buy even if my husband insisted, we never expected that it was going to be so bad, i mean going to have a snow storm here, now, when i saw the snow boots today, oh i said to my husband that i really gotta have one, i really appreciate having 1 or 2 in my shoe rack, its no fun walking in the snow with cold feet even if you wore very thick socks without a snow boots.....now i can say i'm ready for another snow day, oh not in snow storm though, i wish and i pray no snow storm ever again.....

Auction day....

me and my husband went to an auction place today, mostly are police stuff, but we went there for police vehicles. It's my first time auctioning and I had fun, there are nice nice couches, chairs, tables, paintings and bicycles which are sold for just a few dollars or hundreds, i told my husband its really a nice way to buy things, like for some bicycles was just auctioned arround 50 dollars to a 100 dollars, wow amazing, there was a nice set of racking chairs which was sold for only 60 dollars and it seems those racking chairs and foot rests are still new, and there are some stuff really sold for 5 bucks, isnt it amazing? Actually there's a lot in there, from kitchen stuff, for gardening, pumps and flooring too. But what fascinate me most are the vehicles, there are some really really good cars which are just sold from 700 to 11,000. Actually we won one, a mini black van which was used as a recruiting vehicle for police and just 170,000 kilometers and had a little rust at the hood because of the decals, probably the water sets on under the decals thats why got rusted a little portion of the hood and it was just a 2003 vehicle. the inside is clean, it runs smoothly, no major damage, the body and engine are perfectly good, well, to summarize all up, the mini van we got are still in good condition and we bought it for just cheap price, it was really a jockpot for us, really nice car and i like it. It's a good way to look for something that you can bargain on, though mostly are second hand but you can find things there that are still good. I told my husband that i might get use to this, hehhehe....well, we plan to go to an auction again on march, mostly all the contents for auctioning are from L word production, which was a popular tv series that has been stopped, there will be designer clothing and shoes, jewelries and many more. Hope we could find good stuff and bargain again.
