For some
reason, we all had trouble getting to sleep and staying that way, so we were up
early. Ran the deposit to the bank, got the bacon special from our local
grocer, plus a few other needs, wants, and sales. Beloved Hubby had some work
to do in the garage, so while taking out the Ranger, he and Dearest Son scored
doughnuts. Yummm !
While
everybody did their own thing, I decided to run out for a bit, check out that
local thrift I do so well at. Not a lot this week, but I found an expensive
frame and an American
Girl Activity Spinner. For some reason, you dial an color and activity, and
I guess you then dig in the box for a card that matches. Found them as ‘no
longer available’ on the AG site, but they’d been marked down to $2. Got mine,
and the frame, for 50¢, not bad at all !
Hit a couple
of yard sales that should have been ‘curb-scavenge before Big Trash Day’, and
decided to hit Dollar Tree on my own, a rare event. Found a Frozen activity book that came with a
snowflake charm bracelet and a Pixar one
with ‘Over 1000 Stickers’ and fold-out backgrounds to use them on. Really nice
for a dollar !
Got a
replacement Wonder Woman comic art
tote bag – gave mine away Wednesday – and a small zipper bag with reversible
sequins for purse miscellany. It can probably be seen from low earth orbit, it’s
kind of loud, originally designed as a cell-phone cross-body tote. I could have
made myself a little zipper bag, but I like the sequins, and for an indulgence,
it’s hard to beat $1. The rest was groceries and home stuff.
By then it was lunchtime. Made myself Leftover
Serenade, which combines anything that might taste good together. If it’s good,
it’s worth repeating, if not, at least it was made from stuff that was
trash-bound anyway. Today’s was refried beans, canned chili, turkey bits, and
some pasta, stirred in a mug with a bit of water. Not bad at all !
Gonna nap
for a bit before dinner. Hope your Saturday had fun surprises, too !
