My Breakout Moment part 2

 I left you Friday, in Part 1, with these words... 

I leave and hit the busiest street in town, and now it is bumper to bumper, and I think, let me off this street, then I spy with my little eye Manatee thrift Store! YAY!

I am ahead of schedule, despite my hissy fit, God has given me and OUTING! Time to Wander in  a Store....Stepping in the door, see 3 pairs of shoes, all 3 are my size, look like new, but none of them fit. 

Does.Not.Matter:  I am OUT OF THE HOUSE IN A THRIFT STORE... 

can you find Beaus Paw?

I grab a staple puller, 50 cents, a bag of 10 colored pencils, 1 dollar.

I grin while grabbing 4 pairs of ugly, yellow, socks with thingies on the bottom to stop us old people from falling. Bob has 2 pair, we need more.

I hit every aisle headed for the furniture dept to see if they have a comfy chair, they do not, they also do not deliver, so good thing they don't have one.

For years we eat at the breakfast bar, all 3 meals. Now we eat on the glass table, where the wheelchair fits best.

I had a MOMENT and remembered Mothers oil cloth table clothes on her kitchen table, Swipe and wipe them clean in a moment. 

I Google search Oil cloth tablecloths and find there are many, Amazon and Walmart. No to all the prints, my chairs are green and burgundy flowers.

Walmart comes up with a 60 x 60 100% wipeable tablecloth for only 7.99 , delivered by tomorrow. I quickly buy now........ and when it comes, OH NO, its POLYESTER... the perfect color but not oil cloth. I knew it said it was wipeable and did not read the fine print.

I had may have added to the hissfit about driving the packages, that I know it can't be wipeable and toss it on the table and now 

I.AM. IN.A.Thrift Store

I am on a mission for wipe-able place mats. the ones I have I liked but they have holes in them.

like this.  the crumbs get stuck and fall through the holes. I spy 4 green that will match the chairs, 2 dollars for all 4. and I grab a 2-dollar sheet, twin size, same color as the one flat twin at home, aha. I spent 10 dollars 70 cents tax and go home to take photos

they match the chairs perfectly. I am Happy Happy, 

the ones I had,

Here they are, the ones I bought

Do you see my dilemma? My OCD is screaming, NOOO they are too Big, they touch, the table is oval, they are rectangle. I HATE the way they look; I leave them there but can't stand it. 

I put the 3 ovals back and try the plates to see if I can make myself use the wipe-able green that matches the chairs, but I still hate it. 

I go get the Fake Oil Cloth Polyester burgundy square tablecloth from Walmart, and put it on the table,

It's the perfect color, but I keep mumbling that I know I can't wipe it off, its cloth not oil cloth, and beside the points are not matched hanging off, and I will have to keep matching the points on the 4 corners and Bob Says from his bed, having been not so 

entertained by my shenanigans with all this stuff.

"Just Leave the cloth and TRY it, if it wipes off it wipes off and if it doesn't it doesn't!"

Men... oh well. I left it.

I used both traveling lamps, one white one red. Doesn't everyone eat a breakfast of cheese toast by the light of two rechargeable lamps?

It does wipe off, just like oil cloth, oatmeal, grits, even drops of coffee, swipe it with the dish rag and gone baby gone. No Myra, I did not see the movie.

 

it also is easy to brush crumbs off onto a plate, I love the color, my house is full of it, and the points do stay pretty straight. Kinda Sorta. It also bothers me that it hangs on the arms of the chairs. I think to myself, the chairs are 25 years old, what you need chair with nor arms, but then it would touch the seats.

I don't LOVE it, but I do LIKE it a lot!

I know you were hoping this would say The End... NOPE!

But wait, there is more.......
