Help! My Family is Watching Alf!

I'm escaping from the dreaded Alf: The Second Season DVD set that my son insisted on buying for my husband for Christmas (don't ask.)

Today was among my worst work days in recent history. In an effort to relax I decided to go to a thrift store. I used to love going to second hand stores, and I hadn't done so in quite some time. I looked at clothes there, which I don't usually do, and found some pretty great stuff.

The best buy was an amazing long, wool cardigan. It's black with big silver buttons; the buttons alone are to die for.

I also found two new, never-worn shirts: one Coldwater Creek and another Evan Picone, both in my current favorite green shade!

And, I bought a penguin coffee cup (I collect penguins) in a gigantic size, just right for my one cup of coffee a day, and a silver mesh box to hold my hair paraphenalia in the master bathroom.

I managed to resist many more items, most notably a late model Brother sewing machine, which took some willpower.

All in all quite a successful diversion, especially since it calmed me down immensely.

Whew. I needed that.

Now off to struggle some more with that poetry assignment.
