mindless drivel...

The Day After (the Oscars) dawned partly cloudy and not too cold. There was little fallout. I managed to get my happy self out of bed at the right time (an occurence altogether too too seldom. I've been having the weirdest dreams lately, and as soon as I move I'll actually start keeping consistent records of the weirdness.

This weekend I bought: a shower curtain, six towels, a shower caddy, some flatware, and dishes. I became wearied after slogging through saturday afternoon traffic in Bed Bath & Beyond. A dear friend told me, after telling her of my ill-advised trip to the Valhalla of linens and obscure kitchen gadgets, that one doesn't go in without a list, unless one wants a headache. I discovered this for myself, after it took me 45 minutes to pick out a shower curtain. And I couldn't decide between a regular old shower curtain liner or the "premium weight" style, so of course I spent waaay too much.

I did manage to get a 16 piece dish set from World Market for about $8. It's scary blue and gold, but I think I can do other things with it. Like paint polka dots on it or something. And Mervyn's had a huuuge sale - I got six towels for about $30. Yay!
