Can't Stop Thrifting

Four days a week in Coeur d'Alene means the Goodwill addiction continues. 

I just can't help it! I get out of class, consider driving home, and turn toward Goodwill instead. Even on days when I'm really tired and just want a nap, I'll spend thirty minutes stumbling through their dishes and clothes first. 

Plus I've been looking for an alarm clock so I can stop worrying about oversleeping all the time (7 a.m. every day is new for me). Yes, I set the alarm on my phone. And I make Joe set his too, but that doesn't stop me from waking up every thirty minutes in terror--what time is it? 4:30? Why is it light out? Why am I awake? Should I just get up now to avoid oversleeping?

These kinds of nights, and Joe's nonstop-paper writing, have lead to a decline in the desire to make dinner.Take last night's meal as evidence of this laziness:

 

Oh well. It was good.  

Anyway, here are some other things that have been happening. 

Our first really good thunderstorm!

Lightening!

And we saw our first Spokane slug!

The group of friends we were meeting up with, didn't seem as excited as I was. He's not gross! Just different. 

Oh, and since we're talking about Goodwill, here's my two most recent purchases:

 

Fifty-cent bowls! There are four--not sure how only three ended up in my picture. 

And look at this funky tie I found for Joe!

 Yeah!
