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. :)

30 for 30 - #30: Do something to my hair I've always wanted to do but never dared.

Thank you Jaquelin Stallings for suggesting this as my #30. It is affordable, and it just so happens that for the last 8 years I talked about changing my hair every winter, but never did it. I am not prejudice of people with brown hair, but when the weather changes, and things get cold and grey I always feel like coloring my hair brown because it makes me sad. I really like my blonde hair, and even more since my sister-in-law started taking care of it for me. She is the best. And luckily! She said she can fix it by my birthday so I was less afraid to take this one on. I did it!! Before Blonde me. After Brown hair me (with a strange look on my face) It turned out a little "warmer" than I anticipated, but it might fade out a little. Guess we'll find out. What do you think? Brown or blonde?

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...

Sugar.

I felt like making a special tribute to Sugar, my long time friend. From a very young age I began a relationship with this delightful substance. My mother would add Karo syrup to my formula, and we haven't been parted since. I think to say that I love sugar is an understatement. I love water, I love hotdogs, but Sugar?...I can't survive without it. Although avoiding diabetes could be impossible, I can't resist. Whether it's a brownie for breakfast, a little sugar packet while waiting for food at the restaurant, or what ever misc. sugar laced deliciousness I eat in my sleep I just can't let go. I can't say that I've never tried to stop, to break the connection that we have. It was a terrible experience, that left people wondering if I was really a coke addict (not the beverage). So our relationship will be life long, its either all or none of us, we'll go down together. Here's to you sugar, and your secret powers to brighten every day.

What do I know.
