The truth

hhot and dirty martinis- is there any drink that's better? My sister whipped up a couple of what she calls hot and dirty martinis last night- vodka, lots o-o olive juice (sans the actual olives for her) and some spicy hot peppers thrown into the mix, literally. All shaken up, i didn't know whether to feel hot form the drink or cold from its frostaliciousness. Anyway, before we chilled out for the night martini in hand, we spent the day seeking out good props for photos and we came across a gold mind. While in the dreadful company of jo-anne fabrics i suggested we skip over to Savers that was next door, this is a discount donation store somewhat like goodwill but 10 times better. Upon arrival i quickly discovered this savers was more beautiful than any other i had been in previously. It has useless items like ethnic santa clause nick nacks, cardboard coasters that before yesterday thought were always free with your drink at the local bar, used sheets and towels which may be gross unless you are looking to use that sheet for clothing purposes (still gross maybe), halloween costumes (which grace and i are well aware of as we bought our costumes freshman year from there), fast food vendor onesies, vintage hats, light bright (blast from the past) and oversized yellow crayons. The true excellence was in the hats that we found- one of a kind, unlike anything you could buy in a store present day. One of the best parts of this store were the carts that are available for use. It's not like your everyday shopping cart but yet, way better. At first you think its one of those little red rectangular baskets you use when purchasing 12 items or less at the grocery store but come to find out it has wheels and a long handle- so you can actually wheel your 10 hats, fast food uniform and ski jacket alongside of you in a very hassle-free manner. When checking out we spotted a velvet, cinched up red devil outfit on one of the employees which amde the experience that much better.
Needless to say, we had a million and one laughs and got some great gets! the beauty of discount shopping-
