That Was Thumb Thrifty Deal

My daughter, Mimi,
made me drive
about 2000  100 miles yesterday
to meet her in a town called
West Bend to hit the thrift stores.
Let me tell you.
I should have saved my gas.
Who the heck is in charge of pricing
at St.Vincent DePaul and most
thrift stores lately?
I saw old sofas in bad shape that 
were priced at $200.
Are you kidding me?
And there were dressers that needed
extensive work like this one...
Price check- $129.00
WHAT???
Well...like I need one more flipping
dresser or sofa anyway...
Pfffffftttttt

So....What did I get?
I bought a skirt!
Yes! You heard that right-
I drove 3000  100 miles to buy
a skirt for $2.99!
Am I going to wear it?
No.I.Am.Not.
But....
LOOK at this fabric- Will ya?
Do you love it?
It's one of those big full skirts of the 1980's
AND it is Ralph Lauren fabric.
I see some pillows in my future.
If I can drag my butt down 
to the sewing machine
that is.
What was the highlight of the day?
Well....mostly it was driving
1,000,000  100 miles to spend the 
day with these two little
thumb-suckers!
Can you see the eyelashes on 
Thumbsucker #1?
Don't you just hate that?
Imagine those with a bit of mascara on them....
Oh-Waiit----
Nevermind-
Daddy won't like that thought one bit!
My new name, thanks to BigBoyE,
is Big Banana Head....
must be the hair......
