This made me very very very happy today.
I didn't think it was possible to love him more than I already do!

I saw some small metal bars for scrapbooking on sale, and used some for wall-mounted holders. I wanted to hang more cups, but I realized I already sold my cup set, and the ones I have left don't have open handles. Sigh. I'm also thinking of using the bars to hold up some shelves.

I absolutely refuse to believe that this is lost in the mail. I went over the particulars and apparently, I should be getting it this week or the next. If it doesn't show up next month, however, I'm doomed. And for all the griping I'm doing about it, I sure am reckless enough to get

In the event that all these arrive -- and by all means, they should -- I might have to do a bit of furniture selling. There's no way I can fit three tables in that room plus a sewing machine, which I don't really need. The same seller put another version of the same set, this time with a telephone. What. How many versions of this old set do they have anyway? I'm starting to doubt if I purchased an original or not, and frankly I don't even care; I just want things to get to me when they should.

I'm talking to you, kitchen rack and mugset in limbo.
