This morning I got up early, at least by homeschool standards, and exercised. Then I showered and ate and woke David to tell him that I was going to "run some errands".
"Running errands." Sounds mysterious and important doesn't it? It could mean anything. I could be going to the post office or the hardware store or negotiating peace in the Middle East.
When I say that I am running errands it usually means one thing- that I am sneaking out junking but want to sound like I am doing important housewifely duties.
That is exactly what I did when I told David that I was running errands. I made it sound like I had a very important grocery store trip to make. Then I just happened to go to a grocery store in another town that just happens to be near Global Thrift.
Junk needs me.
I found eight of these lovely Corelle plates. They are so cheery!
I snapped this up as soon as I saw it. Butter yellow Fiestaware mug.
Check out the price!
I also found some cute Oilily clogs, J.Crew polka dot flip flops and a Free People skirt. I spent two hours leisurely shopping while my family thought I was slaving over coupons at the grocery store.
There are not enough Hail Mary's to absolve me of my sin.
My friend Edwidge has been asking me for a photo of the boots that I found on Mother's Day. I wish you could hear her ask. She is French (and very skinny of course) and has the sexiest French accent. She cannot be denied, so I am posting some pictures of the boots.
One more thing, for those of you keeping track. I have now lost 33 pounds and for the first time in a year, Wii Fit called my weight normal.
I've never been normal in my entire life. Wii should say, "Freak, at a healthy weight". For now my appetite for junk and chocolate has been satiated and I can go to bed content.
Unless I have the junk dream again...

Great finds!! I was looking through a new magazine yesterday and was reminded I needed a muffin tin to use for crafting. You know cheap and can paint it! I decided to hit the GW on my way home from work and almost missed it! I had already forgotten. Some days I have to look several times and think of different uses for what I see. So .74 cents later I have a great muffin tin that is already white and will be easy to paint if have to have a new color!! Yey!!!! I love your boots! BUT most important WELL DONE YOU!!! 33 pounds!! That is great. I wish I could loose any! Nice your wii thinks you are normal ;)
Hugs, Lisa
I linked over from Peyton the Schnauzer's blog and he was right I would not be disappointed after reading through your posts. Kids, birds, dog and husbands are quite the combination. I should know.
Thanks, Candylei
Junk needs me just cracked me up! You look faboo, Ms. Thang, just absolutely fabulous.
I think you misunderstood Wii ~ it called your weight normal, not you. Wii knows.
You woke your poor husband.
I'm going to have to rethink this whole marriage business.
The boots rock - and you are looking amazing in that mirror shot. Very Charlie's Angels with the knit top, chain belt and the boots!
Oh I like the Charlie's Angels comment. Very FBI'ish.
You are a sex kitten. xo Mari
Love the boots! Love your blog! Thanks!
Congrats on losing 33 pounds! If that's you in the mirror, honey, you look fabulous!
Now I wish you'd tell me how you find all these amazing finds. Where do you junk? How does one find good junk? Have you considered writing a tutorial? I wish you would!
