Entry 5: Silver Triad

New things are brats that taunt "use me, use me". It's guiltless to give in if those were new clothes, pens, or books (i.e. in that case, let me edit and say "read
 me, read me"). However, if we are talking about silverware, that's an entirely different case. Unfortunately, that is the story today.

I am fixated with collecting and redeeming so I took on the Shopwise Sola challenge. A couple of weeks later, 12 stickers filled my card. Last night, I found myself home with a glorious three-piece set of Swiss silverware. It was exquisite and free!

Today, the urge to use the spoon-fork-knife triad woke me up. I thought lunch would satisfy my will to use Sola. I was wrong. On the contrary, it left me wanting more. Sunday was spent with five meals. Even cheeseballs were absurdly eaten using those evil silvers (Who eats cheeseballs with a spoon?).

This could be a good thing, though. Sola might inspire me to prepare packed "lunch" and save up cash. On the downside, we are three weeks closer to Elle's wedding where I, as those who might know, should fit in the dress and not the other way around.

I hope my inner sloth would balance the picture and discourage my lazy bottom from preparing (and eating) five meals a day. Nonetheless, I am very pleased with my well-earned and happily redeemed silver triad.
