My Treasure Hunt Today

Well, it has been one heck of a long day for this household. I rolled out of bed last night around midnight, and tried to go back around 4am, but the mind wouldn't shut off.

Went to the bank and the post office (Jalynne, your lil one's package got mailed) Yard saled for about 2 hours here in our town. Drove to Cape to go to Hobby Lobby. Got the menfolk haircuts. Went to Best Buy looking for the correct USB cable for the digi cam--still bought the wrong one. Had Chinese for lunch. Went to the Salvation Army. Came home briefly. Went back out to WalMart for the correct USB cable. Things we bought today:) a vintage lucite bicone double strand choker (a dollar) a 4 strand silver drape chain necklace, with a kick butt silver box clasp (a dollar) a short bracelet of grade A cat's eye fiber optic 8mm beads (a quarter!) the entire set of the LOTR's promotional shirt pins(got an extra Legolas for me, gonna eBay the rest) (less than ten cents each) a shirt for Dare that matches one Adam owns(a dollar) a heart and scrolls pin for stamping into clay (a quarter) a sterling silver heart pendant (a quarter) the Kato blade (came ready to slice deeply into my thumb--man that bled forever, lol) the Sculpey clay extruder gun all the pearl colors I could find in clay the correct USB cable a printer that works for 5 bucks! we'll get the right connection cable for it next week a new keyboard, cause ours was all funked up an Altoids tin :) a...
