Chicken Dish Dilemma

This is the situation. Several years ago when I was a senior in high school and thought I was going to get married as soon as I graduated, even though I wasn't dating anyone, I bought a large collection of chicken dishes.



I thought, at the time, that these were the cutest dishes I had ever seen, and as new independent adult, how could I not want them. Some have chickens, some are green, some are blue, and some are checkered, they're perfect, right.

So here I am, ten years later, and these dishes have been dumped in my garage from my parents old house, since they are currently homeless. This is the dilemma, what should I do with the chicken dishes.

There are dinner plates and bowls, small plates and soup mugs, a pitcher and mugs, serving platter, serving bowl, giant bowl, small, med and large canisters, and even a spoon rest and fancy tile for hot things. It is a massive, massive collection.










Who would have guessed that something you picked out ten years ago might not be something you want now. Hmmm.

What should I do with them? Send them with Joey the D.I. collector, put them on KSL for some stranger to haul off but maybe make a couple of bucks, or keep them and force Wendy to love chickens for the rest of our time together?

I need some serious advice, for this very serious matter.

I vote for either getting some use out of them or listing them on ksl. That is quite a collection to just send with Joey who wishes she were unemployed at various points in the day. LOL! Seriously, I think you should use them!! :)

Funny story. It makes me not want to buy any furniture.

I would definately go with KSL.

Do you want to get together some time?

Keep them. After ten years, my penguin dishes made their debut just this month. But if you hate them then sell them on KSL. This isn't hard, Anne.

Give them to my dad as a gift. LOL We have a joke in our family about my dad loving chickens. We all think it's hilarious and think of him every time we see something chicken-themed. You would quickly become his favorite niece, Anne! :)

I vote for you do FORCE Wendy into liking the chickens..The set is so cute, and so you. Just put them in your kitchen and hit the ones you are using now so Wendy has to use them. :)

Summer Project #1 - The Hydrant Sprinkler

So, I recently took after my sisters and made a lengthy list.  Mine is of house projects I would like to do, or save up for (is more realistic).  My first project was to move my birthday present from Jeremy, a Pacific State fire hydrant, from my patio so we wouldn't be the junk yard neighbors. Birthday Present 2010 Pre Make Over Although it was a good looking hydrant before I started working on it, our patio is only 10' and it was a little out of place, and in the way. A little TLC is understatement.  I took the entire hydrant apart (hydrant anatomy lesson post forthcoming), drilled new holes in different pieces, greased it up, repainted it, designed and implemented a new plumbing system and........ VOILA!!! I had a brand new sprinkler for our flower bed/veggie garden.  Note:  there are three sprinklers built into the hydrant, which I might have connected to our landscape sprinkler system without permission from the HOA.  Also n...

I Hate Disneyland

It's true. Although this, my third time, was much more successful than preceding visits. Honestly, the first day was almost a success until I was tricked into riding the elevator to hell. Straight to hell. I know that you can't wait to read how I really feel about it. Here are my thoughts on the "Magical Kingdom". A. Its full of people, thousands and thousands of people. Let's face it I can't even go to Target on a Saturday without getting a little angry. 2. Germs. You can't have thousands of people without billions of germs crawling on things from unwashed hands, sneezing, coughing, throwing up, etc. III. Walking. I appreciate a nice brisk walk now and then, but 20 miles later the appreciation start to wane, just slightly. Q. Strollers. I hate strollers, it makes me shiver just to think about it. Although, I might change my opinion on strollers if next time someone pushes me in one. In conclusion, I love Space Mountain, I want to ride it every day 15 ti...

Covenants / Covenant Keeping August 12-19, 2018 This week I decided to study about covenants and being a covenant keeping person. My goal while I’m at law school is to balance my secular education with a spiritual education. Personal study, other than while I was serving on my mission, has never been consistent. I love to learn and read about the gospel but I’m not always as dedicated to it as I should be. I guess you could say I was hoping I could make a small kind of covenant with the Lord that if I would dedicate sometime each day to study His words and teachings that He’ll somehow help me to make it through what’s ahead at law school. I’ll let you know how it goes. Covenants have been on my mind off and on for the last year. Sister Wendy Nelson, President Nelson’s (the Prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) wife, came and spoke to a large group of women in our area last year and the main focus of her message was about being “covenant keeping women.”...
