it is rather funny. we do not have any clean dishes and i am drinking from a flower vase. ArrG. I guess i could drink from this thermos that i recently purchased at the thrift store for 99 cents, but it smells like a grandma had been storing hard candy in it for quite some time (like red hots or something similar)even after i washed it. but for some reason we have seven spatulas. why? i am not sure. and my neighbor just moved to ny and gave us two more. anywho. that is all.
