Confessions of a Thriftaholic

Why do I go to thrift shops? I just buy stuff I really don't need, same with any of my buying I suppose except I spend less... Anyway I really need to stop buying furniture though because I think I have enough to fill a small house. I just love fixing things up and it is so easy to slap on a coat of paint and make it pretty. Last weekend I ended up getting a unit for my closet sized bathroom- one that goes over the toilet tank and then I got a medium sized shelf with drawers that I painted and put on top of a dresser- it only cost fifteen dollars.

Another weakness that I have at thrift shops is books- I love getting books- I have so many just sitting on my shelfs that it is sickening. I was proud of getting 'The True and Outstanding Adventures of the Hunt sisters' for 99 cents at Savers. I'm reading it now and it is pretty good- I am sure I will be balling soon.

I need to get going back to SF tonight- sounds like there is some thunder going on....!

I do need to mention how great The Amazing Race and Survivor have been. Love, love, love Rob- at least on the show as a character- hell I probably would have hated him in high school- but he really makes the show fun. The one thing about the show that is hard to watch and yet entertaining is how much the old people are getting the tar beat out of them by the experience. It is exactly like a car accident- you can't look away.

And Survivor- I can't believe they let the tribe dwindle down- I love it! They can claim that this is the only time it has ever happened, but in truth it probably would have happened a couple of times in previous seasons but production always switched them up. I am totally hoping that Tom keeps staying on- mainly I admit due to his accent- but also because he kicks ass.

I went out to Falls Park for the first warm weather time yesterday- it was beautiful. Can't wait for summer.......
