Victory! I have just learned that the democrats have also taken the Senate. Way to stick it to Georgie America!
In other news Robyn's pumpkin soup was just as good this year, possibly better with addition of a little blue cheese. The only down side to the soup was that it led to a injudicious use of the sink. It was a two person plunge job. Robyn admits she has made this misjudgment before. Misadventure aside dinner was delightful.
I made some good finds at Big Lots, however neither of the finds were what I was looking for. I got some canned crab, various spices, ramen, baking racks and q tips.
The curtain rod that I was looking for was not there. Not that I was looking for a specific one, just one that I liked that was not cheap, ugly, plastic crap. I like the Index one from IKEA which is what I may end up with but I am thinking of stopping by Tuesday Morning before I make the ultimate decision. As for the curtains themselves I have several options at IKEA ranging from very inexpensive to inexpensive. They are very generic and beige. Robyn suggested that we go to a fabric store and see if there is anything like better for a similar price. She said that making curtains is not difficult and she would be happy to help me. We are going to the fabric store tomorrow.
