I Didn't Get Skunked THIS Weekend!

Not a stunning score but apparently I am finally feeling a little better since I was able to make a decision and didn't get skunked this Sunday.  Knock on wood -  I finally feel like I am turning a corner this afternoon so I don't want to tempt fate!
The Budweiser Christmas stein is 1991.  The husband has a collection so I always keep an eye out for ones he doesn't have yet. 
The Lucite grape cluster is for me.  I already have a blue and green one that was my Mom's and now this all blue one.  We know where THAT'S heading - hehe!
I hit two thrift stores for this little bit but really didn't mind since I spent yesterday afternoon buying a new car so didn't mind having an excuse to drive around.  I have been eyeing a Scion xB for a couple of years now and driving the 2000 Cavalier I inherited from my mother in 2002.  I bought a 2012 xB in the color called Army Rock.  It is a sweet dirt color and I'm thinking of naming it "Spud".   I LOVE it!  Well, except I have no clue how long it might take me to figure out how the stereo and bluetooth work.  Seriously.  They say the xB is targeted to the 18 - 24 year old market.  They have the advantage that they can actually REMEMBER the 15 steps it takes to find, adjust and save a setting.   My little book is filled with sticky note markers and I still can't find the base and treble or answer the phone.  I'd got the window wipers figured out, though, so that's something!
