BBFT's and other fun things

BBFT.
Big, Blue, Fluffy Towel.
The holy grail of towels.
Can fit around anyone in my family.
It's almost as long as I am tall.
We only have 2 at my house. One will disappear this fall.
Yes. I am planning on stealing a towel from my family.
You just don't understand. I need the feeling of a towel that can wrap around me comfortably.
It is a glorious feeling.
I feel like a little kid again. Marvelous.
I have mostly prevented my younger brother from gaining access to these precious BBFT's by keeping one in my room, and the other in the TPP (Towel Protection Program). The TPP may or may not be a giant, unconquerable pile of laundry sitting on an old dining room table in the basement.
But, yes, one of these two majestic towels will come to school with me in the fall, because my towels there are insufficient, and fail to live up to BBFT standards. And my RHD apartment needs nice things.


Speaking of which, I have lately been on the prowl for things to decorate my otherwise boring apartment with, and have found cute square votive candle holders at work. They're about 2" high and I grabbed two lime green and two yellow, because I liked the way they looked lit in the dark best (I tested this by putting them in the back of a dark shelf and turning on the battery-operated tealights). I have to get my "fake" tealights because candles and fires aren't allowed in the dorms, which is alright, because I think the fake flicker is cuter than the real thing. The picture has the right shape, but not the right colors (use your imagination?).

I also found really cute canvas placemats that have pink and yellow stripes on one side and embroidered butterflies on the other. Sicne they're $5 each, I'm holding onto them until next weekend, when they go into the "sidewalk sale" for 50% off. Teeheheee...

I am still looking for other cute ideas for a smallish apartment with mismatched furniture...
