Last Thing You Bought?

He lived on the beach in his older years, so the wind was always perfect for kite-flying. He liked the fighting kites that are used in Asia as well as his homemade versions (he was an engineer, so making them was his favorite part, I think.)

It must be good to have the abilties to do what you love when you get old. :)

One person told me that he lost his grandfather in really high age (almost 100, if not over, I don't rembeber). He had fallen down a three when he was climbing! If I can climb threes at the age of 90, it's OK to fall down and die...

Vegan Chinese food. Yum.
Before that, the last thing(s) I bought was a ton of yarn at Stitches East, a fiber festival in CT. I was so thrilled to find some higher-end non-aminal yarn. I got a gorgeous plum-colored cotton/polyester/bamboo blend that I will use to knit a shawl. I spent way too much money, but I got some awesome colors in acrylic, cotton blends and bamboo. I went with my mom. We had a great time. :0)

A gift for a Tiny Tot. I ordered the book from The Book People as they are doing Free Delivery up until midnight.


'When twelve-year-old Tam is sent to work at a bear farm in the city, he has never felt so alone. He hates seeing the cruel way the bears are treated, but speaking up will mean losing his job. And if he can't send money home, how will his family survive?

When a sick cub arrives at the farm, Tam secretly nurses it back to health and they develop an unbreakable bond. Tam swears to return his beloved cub to the wild, but how will they ever find a way to be free?

Deeply moving and powerful, Moon Bear is an unforgettable story of compassion, hope, and bravery against overwhelming odds.

I was about to write, OMG how cute and then I thought wait, you bought a kitten from ebay? Kite makes more sense.:p
 
Two different kinds of humane mouse traps. I'm really worried we have a mouse problem. I'm hoping it's not as bad as it appears. How does this even happen in a house with multiple cats?!!!

Crammed a lot of spending into a two hour period today. Three places in the same shopping center.

First I went to Fantastic Sams and got a wash and cut. That included a tip. I also bought FS brand shampoo and conditioner, large sizes this time so I don't run out too quickly like last time. I got a 10% discount on the shampoo and conditioner because I'm a regular customer. :)

Then I went next door to CVS Pharmacy because I had a 25% off coupon that I wanted to use. Among other things, I bought:
chocolate covered almonds :drool: (a bit expensive, but a nice indulgence whenever I get those 25% off CVS coupons)
toilet paper, 2 coupons
paper towels, 1 coupon
pumpkin seeds
Physicians Formula concealer makeup, 1 coupon
Wheat Thins crackers, 1 coupon
Pepperidge Farm wheat crackers
2 bags Hershey's miniatures, 1 coupon
2 sets of Take Alongs plastic storage containers (good for leftovers from Thanksgiving dinner next week), 1 coupon
1 small Rubbermaid plastic storage container, 1 coupon
drinking water

After stashing my purchases in my car, I walked over to SanSai Japanese Grill and got dinner:

10 pieces of vegetable roll sushi
order of side salad which comes with a sushi order; you get a choice of three different salads and I asked for Sumi salad, which is like coleslaw, only better
vegetable tempura (which is fried and greasy, so it's an occasional indulgence)
order of edamame

I didn't quite finish the sushi; I have four pieces left, plus most of the fresh ginger they add to the order, plus I never got to the edamame, which I figured would happen, as well as a little left of the dipping sauce they gave me for the tempura. So the leftovers are now in my fridge for tomorrow. :)
 
From Amazon.com I purchased some Deva brand vegan vitamins (calcium-magnesium-D, and B12) plus a new computer mouse, since my cat Blake bit through the wire on my old one.
From Petsmart I bought a case of higher-quality canned cat food, since it was on sale and at least one of the kids has been having tummy trouble lately
From Trader Joe's, I got some of my usual groceries, but also splurged on some new and seasonal items: Gingerbread coffee, Vanilla Cinnamon black tea, Candy Cane green tea, raw cashew meal (it was like $5 or $6/lb and should make things like vegan mac and cheese simpler to prepare), organic coconut sugar ($4/lb) and a couple cans organic pumpkin (can never have too much of that on hand)
From Kohl's I purchased a dress shirt, tie and tie clip for my fiance for his birthday. I picked out the items in advance and had him come back to try the shirt on for size and give his opinion on the other items. Seems I know his taste pretty well.

Three cookbooks...

"Two Asian Kitchen" by Adam Liaw
"Heston Blumenthal at home" obviuous by Heston Blumenthal
and a book about Italian Gelato and sorbets with a silly, long name...

None are vegan, but I'm hoping to adapt some techniques and ideas.
