I am happy to say that the cold has at least moved out of my upper sinuses, so today I can keep my eyes open. I have finally reached the place where I don't just keep feeling increasingly worse, which is improvement, trust me.
Julie's post about her Goodwill scores reminded me that I haven't posted my own. I'm trying to make sure that I make regular stops at ours, though my bet is that our Goodwill receives donations nothing like Goodwill in Plano must.
Anyway, finds of note:
A nappy-headed Barbie beauty head, with nails and hot/cold water color changing makeup and nail polish. We washed and conditioned her hair (well, I did), and it actually came out looking pretty good. Molly loves it, and it was $1.99. I wasn't terribly excited about it until I saw that they go for $30+ in the stores. And, you can bet I'd never buy one for that price.
a bag of cool plastic animals to stick in stockings, 99 cents. Ben mentioned that they were probably painted with lead paint, but I suppose the chances of that are just as good if I bought them at Meijer.
A pair of Quicksilver snowboarding pants with neoprene inserts for the knees and bum for Killian, $4.99. I didn't know their value until I did some searching online, and I cannot find the EXACT pair, but they appear to run somewhere in the $90.00 range.
A Land's End longsleeved playdress for Molly, in great condition, $1.99. And it's purple (that gets points from Molly).
I've also found a few nice dress shirts and polos for Killian, as well as a couple of pairs of pants, but I'm having trouble with sizes for him, and he's very particular, so I don't know if they will work out or not.
Anyway, I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday. We miss you.
