Bought anything interesting lately?

Everyone, meet Theodore (the name on his hangtag):



Look at that face! That fat huggability. I couldn't have put my ebay giftcard balance to a better use. Plus, he was ridiculously cheap, compared to other sellers' prices.

Hello Theodore!  You sweet little thing!  Take good care of my friend Bernadette's hugging needs.

Four silicone cupcake liners and one Pyrex measuring glass - secondhand of course.

Odd thing is, I mentioned that purchase to a woman and she asked what I was going to do with the cupcake liners.  A few years ago, I went to a flower shop to buy floral tape and the lady that sold it to me asked what I was going to do with it.  Is there something about the way I look that convinces women that I'm not going to bake cupcakes or arrange flowers?  Strange.

In case anyone is interested, I'm using the liners as glue pots.  Also, I have never arranged flowers.

I got a (really great) mechanical pencil for Christmas, and the giver asked me what I was going to do with it!  He did seem genuinely interested, though, when I told him that I was going to use it to mark the seam lines on my quilt pieces. 

Pencil: https://www.amazon.com/Pentel-Mechanical-Drafting-Pencil-PG1017/dp/B0013NHU7Y/ref=sr_1_2?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1484109992&sr=1-2&keywords=pentel+graphgear+1000

It's all metal. And the whole front section retracts when you push the end of the clip down.

He's arriving tomorrow. I'll bring him along.

Cool! I can't stand the thought of getting rid of my language textbooks (at least, not without replacing them in Kindle format). Who knows, one day I might want to re-learn one of those languages! 

I should throw some phrasebooks and such on my Kindle.  That's a good chunk of why I finally bought a Kindle -- it's much lighter than an English-Russian dictionary.

Bought a camcorder for hub and to make YouTube instructional videos. Going into the studio is just a money pit. Oh yes, you end up with great quality, but not every video needs to be great quality. He bought a canon, mid range price, with more toots and whistles than he'll ever figure out how to use.

Bought a big lamby for my dog. He took right to it. Hoping to keep his messiness off bedroom carpet and more on lamby.

Too bad it's not a Rammy

You know ches, they would be throwing out a beautiful set of horns if he was made into a rammy. My son wants us to butcher the ram because he wants those horns so bad. Probably to mount on his Ducati!

Edit: He's HERE!  He's great! Absolutely perfect proportions, and I particularly love the construction of his arms.

Some people have a knack for enjoying the simple pleasures of life.

Bernadette!!!!! Where did you find HIM. I'm sure there are many single women here that would enjoy such a sweet well proportionedo bear. Please bird. Share your info. He sounds perfect. Cuddly too huh? Well, just be careful.

Ebay, of course! He's not as pristine as the picture I posted; that was just a random picture because I felt weird about posting the picture of the item that I actually bought, since it would have been taken from the seller's information for the item. I think he spent a little time in the dryer, because his fur is slightly...crisp, shall we say? But his good points more than make up for that.

There was a nice, large koala bear for sale at the secondhand store I stopped at yesterday.  Didn't buy it.  I guess this ought to be in the "What have you not bought recently" thread.

Four silicone cupcake liners

I have a couple sets of these in different sizes. I like being able to serve cupcakes without paper liners. I used two the other night to make some of those Pinterest-y frittata cups, and they turned out great. I only had two eggs left, and it was nice not having to wash a whole pan.
