Seriously...How Could I Not?

I did it again. I told you I have no shame. My garbage picking skills were put to the test again this morning. It's not like I was out combing the neighborhood for other people's trash, although maybe I should, because today I feel like I hit the jackpot!

I was just driving down the road, minding my own business, when this stool caught my eye...

I have been looking for a stool, that was not too tall or not too short, for my work area. This stool is (lucky me) just right.

Then, right next to it, I saw this little chair...

Last night, Griffin was over the top with his dumping, and crashing escapades. As soon as I put him to bed, I started researching cause and effect toys for Christmas, because that seems to be the thing he's looking for. But, last night, with all of the discipline I was dishing out, I was thinking I needed a decent "time-out" chair...and voila!

There was this hamper too...

It wasn't something I really needed. We already have a bunch of tiny hampers, but the floor seems to be the place where most of the kid's clothes end up. Maybe this large hamper will be just the thing to help them change their evil ways. :)

The funny part of this story, or the sad part, depending on how you're looking at it, is that my car (a four-door sedan) was already packed to the gills with bins full of Christmas decorations I had just picked up from my storage area (aka my parent's basement). I really need to down-size some of our decorations!

When I spotted the stool, I knew I had to have it, but the chair and hamper...how the hell was I going to fit them in the car with all of the other stuff? That's where the "skills" part comes in, and a whole lot of determination, but seriously...how could I not?

I also find these new found treasures very photogenic as well. It's all in how you look at things, right?

Happy Friday!
