I sometimes watch a comedic show called "Viral Video Film School." It's vulgar, so I wouldn't recommend it, but it definitely appeals to my dark sense of humor, featuring videos of people falling off of buildings or setting themselves on fire. (I know.)
One episode featured videos of people bragging about their shopping trips, bargains, and great finds. The modern word for bringing home loads of things purchased at discount prices is..."haul."
I'm amused by my own excitement over recent purchases at an estate sale. I had a rare day off and I spent several hours poking through stacks of things inside a historic brick mansion. It felt like a real treat just to go inside the house.
It was also the first time I'd purchased anything special for our new house.
So here is a picture of something from my haul. It's a green enamel roaster that we are now using as our bread box. I love the color, and the peculiar "clang" I hear when the top closes on the bottom.
I also found things for the boys like weights and Pokemon cards.
Those things, of course, are now strewn from end to end of the "man room."
Guess its time again for some V.V.F.S. and a good laugh.
Have you had a good haul recently?
