And now for something completely different...

I had a birthday. Which means that I had birthday money to spend. I am much like Vern on Trading Spaces. "If there's a penny on the table..."

So I headed to Kohl's where I managed to find very cute dishes that Mikey and I both like. I spent my entire birthday check on 6 dinner plates, 6 small plates, 6 bowls and 4 mugs. They are a variety of colors, including "cherry", "cobalt", "plum", "butter", white and "sage".

I am so excited to have actual matching dinnerware. Between that, our nice, heavy flatware and those great glasses we bought at Linens-N-Things I can now set an attractive table.

Not that we have a table. We'll just eat on these...which I got for 60% off today. Hooray for me!!!
