be grateful, be grateful, be grateful

advice i gave a friend recently, though I probably need it more than she does:

Make the best use of what you have, of what you've been given. Knowing that you are doing the best you can with what you have and do not take anything for granted is consolation enough during times like these.

Because you don't just owe it to yourself, but to those who are less fortunate.

bwahahaha i've got a wonderful plan to thwart those uber expensive and stylish sets!

mix-and-match ikea items:

MOTTO plates, white stoneware
$.50 x4 = 2.00
DINERA side plate, dk blue stoneware
$1.49 x4 = 6.00
SYNTES glass bowl, blue
$1.99 x3 = 6.00
FORNUFT 20 pc cutlery = 9.99
GRAND TOTAL: 23.99

so it's essentially a 16 pc, minus one bowl because i already have a glass bowl. yaaaaaaay it all works so well... but perhaps change the colors...

i still need drinkware.

comments?
