Today I went to the Goodwill Outlet store - also called the 'pound' store because everything is sold by-the-pound. Customers pick through waist high rolling bins of material: clothing, books, toys, linens and bedding all mixed together. When you find something you like, you take it to the checkout, they weigh it, and you pay by-the-pound. Today's haul: 4 shirts (2 for me, 2 for Son3) Total: $4.89.
After the pound-store, I went to my favorite Value Village on Capital Hill where the selection is very good. On the front door, I noticed a sign that said:
"Labor Day - Sept. 1st - All clothing, furniture (etc) 50% off marked prices".
So I looked around, found a couple of shirts that looked interesting, and a pair of pants or two. I was all ready to carry them down to the checkout... but eventually put them back on the rack. Tomorrow at 10am I'll go back and try to find those items - if possible I'll even take son3 with me - it's so hard to do any real back-to-school shopping without the student in-tow.
Speaking of son3, his phone was in a state of limbo for while - we received the unlock code from T-Mobile, but he wasn't around sit still long enough to follow the instructions in the 'unlock steps' email. Once I got my hands on the phone, I backed it up, swaped to the new SIM, and now we're both on Airvoice. It was a really simple process.
And back to the original purpose of this blog - the oxymoron "on-line dating" - a new profile was born: FIRE_Weirdness.
More discussion of FIRE_Weirdness, and how that came to be in a later post.
