stormdogI'm going to spend most of my time this evening working on my history paper I think, but I stopped in to the Salvation Army on the way home. (I'm an addict.)
I picked up the Apples to Apples Party Box and Party Box Expansion 1 for $2 each. I didn't own my own copy of Apples to Apples yet, and there was no way not to at that price! I also picked up a vintage, high-production quality version of something called The Mill Game for ninety-nine cents. I'd never heard of it by that name, and it was completely unfamiliar to me in appearance, but Google tells me it's a centuries-old game also known as Nine Man Morris. I have heard that name somewhere, in something or other I read. It was popular in medieval Europe, but long predates that era, and its kind of neat to have.
I also found another pair of bright blue Merona chinos. There must have been a production run that all got donated or something, because there were four or five pairs there, all with mild wear on the rear pockets yet new with tags. There were two pairs in my size, and I was debating whether to buy one or both when I realized that one was $4 and one was $6. Good excuse to just buy one.
And finally, I picked up a t-shirt from Copper Harbor, Michigan because it has nifty art with a bear on it, and because it makes me think of my trips to Copper Harbor and how much I like and miss the Keweenaw.
So it was a good haul.
Tomorrow, I'm bringing my backpack to Professor J to get her opinion on packing. She told me today, though, that if it ends up being a little bit oversize, she'd be willing to pay the extra for me. That's a relief. Still, I want to get a knowledgeable opinion on my packing.
