Placemats
A little less than a year ago we got a Crate & Barrel gift card for our wedding. At some point it disappeared, which made me angry mostly because it's typical of something I would do. I lose things all the time, most frequently important things like my credit card. Yes, I'm 30 years old. Listen, I've got too many important thoughts in my head to worry about menial issues like where my credit card is. Important Thoughts like "How much of this salad do I have to eat before I can eat a cookie?"
The good news is that I found the Crate & Barrel gift card recently, only about 10 months after I lost it. It slid out of the back of a drawer and was behind some pots and pans in the cabinet. Totally not my fault.
I used it to buy some placemats.

I remember watching Price is Right when I was little and seeing some woman win a washer and dryer. While the audience oohed and ahhed over her prize, ten-year old me rolled my eyes and made a promise to myself: "I will never be that lame that I'm excited about a washer and dryer."
Time changes things, folks. Sometimes you get really excited about buying placemats.
