a goodwill blog!

since moving out of my parent's house, i have learned to LOVE goodwill!  i love it so much, especially for house stuff.  we got an awesome little bookcase for the living room for $9.50 the other day.  it's next to the t.v. and if the home of movies, video games and my overflow of books.  i've gotten cool decorate-y things and all sorts of stuff.

now, we were seriously lacking in fun money for the month, so we were pretty bummed.  luckily, chris fixed somebody's computer today and got twenty bucks.  so off to goodwill we went!  (also, as we were about to get in the truck, chris's other bff woodrow pulled up in the driveway, so we piled in his car instead for our adventure!  he also treated us to taco bell because he's like the coolest guy ever.)

here's my haul for the day, and we only spent $7.64!



1.)  some big red heels!  yes, they are big and normally i can't walk in heels, but as you can see these have treads on the bottom so i am good to go!  i don't have an outfit for them yet, but i couldn't pass them up for $3.00!  i feel so pin-up-y in them.  :D


2.)  owls on a branch, $0.50!!  i'm an owl collector, and i'll warn you that i bought every owl i saw in goodwill today except for a salt shaker that had some paper and weird stuff stuck in his belly.  D:


3.)  i love this little thing!  i actually have another one like this (they're different, of course, but same theme)!  i love the little upside down owl, i feel like that sometimes!  and $0.50 again!


4.) another little salt shaker.  i have a million of them!  he's a cute little realistic one, though (and $0.50!!).


5.)  more salt and pepper shakers!  only yellow this time!  yellow owls are so cute (as are all owls, especially when their $0.50 a pair)!


6.)  my favorite of the day!  and only $1.50!!  he's a professor owl teapot!  OWL AND TEAPOT my dream come true!


7.)  this is actually from a previous trip, but he's so cool!  only downside is he has googly eyes, so if you shake him he goes cross-eyed.  not that you should be shaking him, but i did anyway to see if the eyes were googly!

so yeah, owls and shoes!  enjoy!

peace.

laundry and goodwill blog!

it's 'get this fucking laundry out of my room' day!

if you follow my vlogs over at two fat girls, you'll know that after losing twenty pounds i needed new clothes.  i can't afford new clothes, so mom gave a me a bunch of really cute clothes that she couldn't fit anymore.  some of these even still had tags on them!  some of them were my clothes that i had given *her* when i got to fat for them.  just a bunch of stuff.  literally a garbage bag full of clothes.

now, i love all these clothes.  i do.  problem is i don't have room for all of them!  i hung up as many as i could, ran out of clothes hangers and had to abandon the effort.  i couldn't fit all the new clothes, plus i had clothes that i had just gotten out of the laundry before mom gave me the new ones.  so this happened:

laundry chair!

this is the laundry chair.  it's the clothes i got out of the dryer after i used up all the clothes hangers on new clothes.  it also includes the sheet that washed that covers the chair and the fuzzy green blanket that usually lives there in a much more decorative way.  there's also the chair's throw pillow in there somewhere.  i am very upset by this chair.

i decided today is going to have to be goodwill day.  i'm going to venture into my closet and pull out all the stuff that is way to big for any of us now and stuff that i just don't think is ever going to fit and put it in a goodwill bag and chris and i can drop it off tomorrow.  

joining me on this adventure:

the doctor!

spongebob!
it's nice to have company.  :D

so off i go to try to salvage my vlogging chair!

peace.
