...because today we went to the thrift store, and it was GREAT. He's just had a growth spurt, and none of his clothing fits anymore. The thrift store was having a sale today, 33% off everything in the store. We spent just under $25, and got two sets of pjs, one long sleeved shirt, one t-shirt, four pairs of pants (including a like-new pair of jeans from Gymboree, a pair of like-new sweats, and a couple of pairs of lined winter pants), a brand new with tags sweater for me, a picture frame, and a roll of ribbon, which I thought would make a cute dog collar. I am wearing my new sweater; it's beautiful and very warm. It was the single most expensive thing we bought, at $8.64. Unheard of thrift store pricing! But did I mention, new with tags, beautiful, warm?
I saw a couple of brass lamps that I strongly considered buying, in order to paint and refinish, but I couldn't decide. They were a little bit expensive (well, for the thrift store, anyway), and they both needed new shades. One needed a new finial, and the other needed a new harp, which is not a big deal, but I seem to collect unusable project lamps, and then never actually finish the project, so I dunno. I figured that I would come home, think it over, and if I still wanted them later/tomorrow, head back and see if they were still there. I keep thinking about them; maybe we should go back after dinner.
I was going to make a pan of lasagna for dinner, and an extra one for the freezer, but the cheese was in the new chest freezer, and I keep forgetting exactly how long it takes to thaw food that been stored at twenty below. The cheese has been sitting out for hours, and it's still frozen solid! Oops.
