Going to bed...

What a craptacular day. Work (sigh), school (frustrating), swimsuit shopping (argh), and hail (the straw that broke the camel's back). 

I came home and cleaned house in a desperate attempt to find something I had control over. Sigh. I need this week to finish very badly.

SOB junk store in Las Cruces, NM

I would like to state for the record that finds at yard sales and old junk shops always trump items you can buy anywhere else based on their uniqueness and thrill of the hunt. I also have no idea why I only want to blog lists. Probably because it is the only place in my life that the lists get finished.
