primsongNot wishing to become stuck in my proverbial past, I've decided it's high time I updated some of my household goods - after all, just because someone I no longer recall gave me a crystal water pitcher for a wedding gift 25 years ago doesn't mean I have to go to my grave still using that same old pitcher, right? Right! Not that I ever really used it anyway... it just sat in my cupboard mostly because it's heavy and it never was really my style.
Today I bought a very pretty handmade pottery pitcher instead, with blue, green and natural toned glazing and a lovely swoop to the handle. The "nice" crystal pitcher is going to the thrift store. I feel so happy! Being on a roll, I also replaced the plastic tumblers we've had forever because we had kids and kids break things with Real Glass tumblers (in rainbow colors!) - after all, the "kids" are nearly adults now and rarely bury their drinking cups in the sandbox anymore.
Then I bought a new picture frame for a picture in my living room and tossed that horrid Oh-So-80s oak one. Ahhhh.
Someone stop me before I order all new furniture!

We never did because my dad has a sort of gut resistance to people making / saving noticeable quantities of money by means other than him working nine-to-five and having bank interest (I am finding something of the same sort in my own head, which is Worrisome because I still don't know why), and because my mom always worried about the shoppers hypothetically casing the joint. O_O
*hugs you on principle* I love that I have friends who can remind me how a normal life actually works, and that I don't have to leave y'all behind when I move. :D
