So today was my day off with Shawn. Since we did so much on Tuesday we wanted to take it easy (on our wallet) today. We did get lunch at a local po'boy shop and afterward headed to Goodwill to search around the mixed up and befuddled knick-knacks and kitsch looking for mixed flatware and colored glassware.
I ended up with a pretty good assortment of pieces. All stainless steel, but achieving the desired effect none-the-less.

They need some cleaning up but they're all in decent condition. The forks I will have to search more for. I'll visit the flea market this weekend to see what I can find.
While searching through assorted junk (with potential) I found an awesome mail organizer!

| So lovely! |

| It's actually plastic! |
There were no colored glasses. I honestly couldn't believe it. I remember there
always being some cheesy colored glassware. Why is it that as soon as I want it, it's gone. (#notwinning)
Also in the "unwin" category was the fact that I had to pass up and say "farewell" one of the loveliest couches I've seen in a while. (a while being since I was a kid and my grandmother threw out the one she had that was just like it). For a whopping $50 this baby could have been mine (it's a sleeper too!). But the gods of logistics were not smiling on me today as my poor little VW Beetle-Bug is ill-equipped for transporting large (and small) furniture.

| what a beautiful disaster |
Again the official diet is presently on hiatus but I didn't do so horribly today. We had po'boys for lunch and stew for dinner (I had carrots and cucumber for breakfast). I'll be back to work tomorrow and hopefully I can make up for the other day of no-sale awfulness. Until then...
