Shopped Until We Dropped

It was a pretty quiet day here. Tim decided that he did not want to go hunting today, so we stopped over at the lawyer's office to sign some papers. 

We headed off to feed the kittens down at the new house. 

Tim wanted to go to Titusville when we were done. I asked if we could hit a thrift store. What a score that was. He found a new leather belt for himself. I found a Land's End wool coat, egg plant color that matches very well with the scarf I found a couple weeks ago, for $8.99. I found some books for the box of books I'm putting together for Christmas. You know...just browsing...and then...

I heard angels singing

This canister set was a reproduction jadeite set and it is greener than it appears in this picture, but...

it will match perfectly with the wallpaper...

...in the new pantry

It was $6.99 for the set, and I could see them so perfectly on the hoosier cabinet, 

that they were in my cart in an eyeblink. 

We also bought some more Christmas gifts today which was fun too.

We stopped at a grocery store to pick up some pepperoni to make pizza for supper tonight. I had a loaf of Italian bread which needed to be used up, and so I figured that I'd split it, top it with sauce and onion and peppers and pepperoni and cheese and have a pizza. Tim decided he'd rather have it topped with sausage and so we went back to the meat coolers. We found a rope of Italian sausage. I said, "Well, that can be split up, and it will make 4 or 5 meals for us. He said, "That's a good buy for $9. We glanced through their meat, and were shocked to see pork chops being sold for $1.49 a pound. They had family packs ranging between $6 and $8. I counted the pork chops and said, "Gees. A couple packages of this could break down into 6 or 7 meals for you and me." They were very well trimmed which we liked. Tim said, "You need to pick a couple of those up."

Once the packages were opened up at home, and repackaged into smaller portions for the two of us, we had 11 more packages of meat to put in the freezer, and as ridiculous as it sounds, it is something that makes us both feel good. 

The all important giggle!

This gem was brought to my attention by Gigi from Canada.

She posted it on John Gray's blog, and I shamelessly stole it because I laughed until I cried. Tim came out to watch it and laughed as hard as I did. 

So. Here's your giggle for the day.
