Hello.

Hey everybody!

I don't have anything very coherent to say this evening . . . this morning . . . I just spent the night curb shopping with my mother- and father- and sister-in-law! And the last TWO HOURS tring on all of the clothes I got!!!

I don't have a final count or pics yet, but it's a lot!

Working on my spring cleaning this week, too - although I've done a lot more thinking about it than actual cleaning. My goal is to hit it really hard tomorrow, though. (Hopefully.)

Right now I am just waiting for the load of laundry to be done so I can wear some of my new clothes to work tomorrow. Enjoying a little Law & Order SVU while I wait :)

Sorry this is really random and rambling, just thought I'd catch everybody up on the OH SO EXCITING (note sarcasm) goings on, lol :) Hopefully I'll be a little more with it after a few hours of sleep :)

What a haul!!!

Ahhhh . . .

I have just returned from one of the most fabulous activities - curb shopping!!! In our area they have what they call clean-up days where twice a year people can put their junk out on the curb, and the city picks it up free of charge. This may not seem like an optimal situation for finding those little things we cannot do without, but you would not believe the things that some people throw away!

It starts out kind of like this:



and ends up:


I was first introduced to this fabulous pastime by my wonderful inlaws when I first moved to Iowa, and they let me tag along again tonight which was tremendously adventageous because I made out like a felon! The above picture is me sitting in the back of their van with half of my haul!

It was crazy fabulous!!!

The mother-lode includes:

a really nice wicker hamper, loads of throw pillows, tablecloths and cloth napkins, AN ELLIPTICAL MACHINE, several books, some great wreath forms, a huge, gorgeous clock! I'm in seventh heaven!

It's like the best garage-saling day ever - except everything was FREE!!!!!

I really need to get to bed, hope you have a great night :)
