After much discussion with my fiance, we decided to turn off our cable. I had no problems with this as most of the shows I watch on cable I can see for free on Hulu.com (yea hulu!) and we needed the money to be put to better use. No sooner than we turned off the cable my laptop blinks out. It seems the monitor is fried. Thankfully, the rest of the laptop is fine and as I always keep my leftover electronics (thanks dad for passing on that habit) I just pulled out ye olde monitor and plugged it into my laptop. Tada for temporary fixes until finances are better.
This weekend I hit up the local thrift stores looking for some clothing as mine is getting a little raggedy. As far as clothing goes I only found a nice pair of jeans but ran into the problem of either it being not my size or too pricey. I did luck out in other areas. I got a lovely toaster to replace the one that broke down, what looks to be a brand new 70's green fondue set, an American Gothic puzzle, a batch of thank you cards for the wedding next year, and last but not least the other love of my life (other than my fiance, cat, and crafts) some books. I got an 1878 Home Economics book which is full of all kinds of information on how to run a 1878 house. A 1943 book on knitting and a 1935 book on crochet. And last but not least, 5 cookbooks to add to my cookbook collection. I love thrift store scavenging. Too bad the ones around here seem to be hit up hard. Really picked thru.
Another postive note is that in two weeks from now I will be getting a raised bed garden and look forward to growing tastey food and learning about canning.
Now I am off to play with my fondue set, mmm tastey beef fondue.
