Look What I Found

So Wednesday before going to work (I love saying that), I stopped by the church basement....And I found this

A big drum lamp shade...for .....75 cents!

Never used still in the wrapper....

I couldn't bring it to work; after all it was my first day and I didn't want them to think I'm a crazy thrifting scavenging with full blown Pyrexia weirdo...They'll discover that about me soon enough, I'm sure!

So I asked the nice pink lady if she could hold it for me until later that day. And she did...

Now yesterday I put it on the base....And it looks like this

Let's just say that the jury is still out on that one. It makes me see that the living room is SOOOOO outdated!

Now about the job...just a quick reminder that I spent the last 2 years blogging,gardening,cooking and basically doing whatever I wanted when I wanted...So Wednesday night I was soooo tired at 9:00 pm I was all tucked in and probably snoring. Now at 5:00 pm yesterday, after my shift, I went grocery shopping along everybody from my town, I mean everybody! Whew too many people for my taste....The legs oh my! Last time I spent 5 hours straight  standing up behind a counter...well I was 18!

Besides that it's great fun and TGIF!

Who will win???

Unrelated pic as well! To tell you the truth this is one of my all time fave pics. The title is Blue,Orange and Boubou. Boubou being the delightful creature on the right!

That takes care of the pic. Now I just found out that I have been awarded a Lovely blog award from Sonya at Dime Store Thrift. That is very nice, thank you! Now just as soon as I figure out how to post it on my blog, I will and will be awarding some of my own....

Now for the REALLY important stuff!!! Who will win American Idol? Who will get the vote from the American public? The guy with no voice or the gay guy? We must remember that this is a singing competition....in my taste (I may be totally tone deaf...)Adam Lambert should win with eyeliner and all...but I can't vote!!!

I'm sure a lot of people are going to vote for Kris because he is SO safe (married and everything) but he's as exciting as a wet sweater (sorry for the ruffled feathers). I don't give a rat's ass that Adam is gay, but being a very private person I was stunned (let's say it) by the pictures in the internet. I have to give him a thumbs up for cleaning up his act for Idol. I'm sure if he wins there won't be anymore guy on guy action pictures! Or there will be and we will have other stuff to gossip about than Angelina/Brad and who dumped Jennifer Aniston! LOL

Anyways both their lives are already totally changed, and both will make making records!

I wish you both good luck! :)
