You sneaky little lady!!!

First and foremost, IT'S ALMOST CHRISTMAS!!! (Thanksgiving is just an eating holiday, so although I am grateful we get off school/work for it, it doesn't count for anything in my book. Also, you don't usually hear stores/radios/walkman's playing "Thanksgiving tunes" throughout the months of November-Jan like you do with Christmas songs!! Am I right?)

Let's get back on track folks,
It's almost Christmas and decorations are already lining the aisles of my sweet, filthy Wal*Mart. Beautiful ornaments, Santa hats, and poinsettias are staring me in the face, begging to be bought. BUT! Alas, I am waiting patiently for them to go on sale, and for Thanksgiving to come and go so I don't feel weird about buying Christmas stuff so early! Ahh......this is going to be a great Christmas! :) (First one as a married couple..holla!!!)

So yesterday I saw a "Bag Sale" sign out at the thrift store across the street from me...It read "BAG SALE: Wed-Sat". Then and there, the wheels in my mind began to turn just thinking of all the AWESOME stuff I could potentially find! I had missed the last bag sale they had and some very cool, vintage-y candlesticks were picked up before I could get there. I had been eyeing them all week and was waiting for the bag sale so it would be a little cheaper to buy them, but someone got to them before me....such a bummer!

  BUT! I was prepared today! Britt gave me some extra cash he had and I headed over to the store...I was determined to get the most out of my money! I walk in, and the lady at the counter says, "Grab a bag, you can fill it with anything you'd like!". (Thank you, kind greeter.) I found the coolest stuff! LOTS AND LOTS of Christmas gift-bags. TONS of cool yarn, some cute glass napkin holders (that could definitely make a pretty Christmas present), some pants for Britt, a Christmas snow-man mug, and a cute sweater for me. As I walk up to the counter I see a little hand-written sign that says, "BAG SALE: Clothes Only!". 


YEAH!!! I KNOW RIGHT!!!

In my mind, I'm going crazy. WHAT??? I JUST SPENT 30 MINUTES DIGGING THROUGH OLD DONATED STINKY STUFF AND YOU SAID ANYTHING I'D LIKE CAN GO IN THE BAG!!!


I looked down at my bag of treasure junk, and was filled with disappointment. I asked one last time (in my saddest voice) if it was really clothes only, and after seeing a sweet head-nod that only 80 year old women can do in a way that would calm any person down, I set the bag next to the counter and told her I had yarn, mugs, and another things too. 

I didn't need any of that stuff, but I still walked out of that stinky old thrift shop with my tail between my legs and my head hung low. 


What a sneaky little lady, right?! Moral of the story, know the fine print of a bag sale before you go rummaging through a store! :)
