A quick trip to Goodwill

Yep.  Unfortunately there are about 3 Goodwill stores very near me.  I say that because I need to live in a field 200 miles from the nearest place where they sell anything.  Seriously.

But here is the good news!  While I was standing in line, I was conversing with a fellow "consumer" about how we loved Goodwill.  Then she proceeded to tell me that on Tuesdays seniors get a 15% discount.  WHAT?????  It happened to be Tuesday and you would have thought she just gave me a winning lottery ticket.  On the one hand "yippee I am a senior citizen" and on the other hand "OMG.....I hate that!"  Why do they call it "senior citizen" at all.  I mean senior used to be a good word, like when you were in the 11th grade you could not WAIT to be a senior.  So OK...maybe that was the LAST time I was excited about that word.  And citizen.  We are all citizens.  Don't single me out with senior in front of it.   I'm just a good citizen doing my part to keep the economy from tanking even more that it already is.

I wanted to take a knife out and "cut her" not because of what she said but because she had 4 custom made silk curtains panels in the most beautiful green ever in her cart.  I just missed them.  14.00 each plus that dang 15% discount. 

My sister said that they call it "gray power" in California.  That cracked me up.  Another reason to keep paying a gazillion dollars a year to my hairdresser.  

But back to what is important here.

My purchases.  That I paid just 21.00 for.  With the massive 15% discount.

 You will just have to wait and see what I do with them!  The ice buckets were such a steal!  I love to put orchids in them.

The Target frame still in the wrapper!  And I love the old poster.  It just happens to be in my fall color scheme.   Hmmm....

On a side note....don't you just love this?
