Day 112: Turkey Place Mats

Don't get me wrong, these turkey place mats are cute. But there are two problems:

1) Thanksgiving is the kind of holiday you celebrate for one day a year. It's not like Christmas, where I want to decorate in mid-October and keep everything up until spring. (I don't. But I want to.) So the only day I want to decorate for Thanksgiving is Thanksgiving, which brings me to...

2) I have four place mats. The last time we hosted Thanksgiving dinner, I think 29 people showed up. So...

DESTINATION: Goodwill.

He loves home renovations, cars, and UFC. He is the father to the same two awesome boys. He sometimes dumps Tabasco in a can of garbanzo beans and calls it lunch.

a few house rules...

...better known as excuses designed to make our lives easier.

1) If we throw something away on Thursday but don't get a chance to post until Friday, it counts.

2) If we get rid of a few things at once, we can post them one at a time over the next few days. It's our stuff and we want to give it a proper send-off. Besides, we can't tell craigslisters, "Can you come tomorrow instead? We're all blogged-out today."

3) Sometimes we'll throw a pile of crap out and count it as five days' worth. Sometimes we'll throw a pile of crap out and call it one day. Both are fine, because we make the rules.

Rules subject to change when we feel like it.
