a matching set of pots and Jewish silverware... what's next?
So, I realized that I left y'all hanging about our Monday night shopping trip. It was a very successful, if expensive, excursion, and we are now the proud owners of a set of matching cookware that is not from a small-town grocery store, actual glass glasses, salt and pepper shakers that are not dirty acrylic hand-me-downs, and nice silverware (which I would post a picture of, since that's a bad picture, but my digital camera is broken).
All we need now is good knives. Oh, and a spice rack. And about a million other things that can wait for a lot longer. And one of those flexi cutting boards.
Honestly, we're trying to be reasonable and not throw away money now that we have some for the first time EVER, but it feels nice to have some things that aren't hand-me-downs. Not because these new things are new, but because they're ours. We didn't get a lot of this kind of stuff for our wedding, so these are the first things we own that are things we picked out together and purchased for ourselves. It feels like we're building a home, which is really nice.
Now I just have to fight my cheap, tight-ass instincts and not freak out every time we buy toilet paper for the next month just because we spent a couple hundred dollars recently on household items.
