You Were Right Mom..

Though it pains me to admit it, I must recant my hatred of Tuesday Morning stores. You were right they are filled with deals, particularly the one here.

These are the closest pattern I could find to the fancy new sheets (Sf*rra) for the guest room. The embroidery is a light green and so sweet. Evidently this brand of sheets is about $500 a set, but I walked away with them for a mere $75. So guests, prepare yourself for luxury when you visit.

The deals were so good that Mom picked up a set of sheets to mail back to the land of humidity. I also got a set (of slightly less fancy) sheets for the Cal King and a huge taupe table cloth to cover our ultra modern I-key-uh table. The styling isn't quite the same as our new diggs.

Mom and I decided it was all meant to be...who carries an oblong taupe table cloth?

On the academic front:
This is my last day of freedom. Tomorrow is new GTA orientation and a new grad student information session. There are 3 days of GTA orientation. The Spanish department seems to be pretty hardcore. But it is a good thing for my vita and my wallet. The Spanish department has 100% placement of their PhDs in tenure track positions!

Also I am contemplating taking the tour of my library next week. I might meet a nice librarian or a nerdy freshman...
