Dumpster Diving! Oh Yeah... We did it...

No joke boys and girls, my dear friend, Kylie Ate Cake (aka K8C), and I went dumpster diving! Why you ask? WHY NOT!?!?!?

Allow me to ellaborate...

First, when I say that "WE" went dumpster diving... well... I am the only one insane enough to actually enter a dumpster...lol... however, K8C was truly a sport.

Picture if you will, it's dark (we met up around 10 PM), misting rain, and quite chilly in fact. We took K8C's car and headed out for our treasure hunt. I'll tell you what I've learned:

• All dumpsters are not created equal
• straddling the top of a dumpster while contemplating your entry does not feel good upon one's crotch-al type areas
• that according to some (ahem ahem ahem - K8C), every dark place, every train track, and every large box is a sure sign of Hobos. Hobos, in case you did not know are always creepy old men and always out to get you. They apparently are also very stealth in that you must be on the constant look out and wouldn't possibly hear them coming.
• Big Lots and Ollies truly have the best stuff!
• We must start noting when trash pick-up is for different locations.
• Before getting carried away and fishing out everything cool...check the first couple to make sure there's no real reason that they are in the garbage.
• Not all things slippery in a trash can are yucky...they just are until you realize what they are...lol
• Grocery stores throw away stuff that really is still good!
• You CAN in fact fish very well with what used to be a broom handle - however - said broom handle cannot handle an industrial garbage back full of granola bars.

All in all, I would dare to say that I had an absolute blast! Here's the take:

• Granola bars - I haven't counted, but at least 100
• Mini bottles of shampoo
• Toy Car
• Travel coffee mug
• garbage bags - not used - a torn box of perfect garbage bags
• ear bud headphones - they work
• a picture frame - glass in tact, needs one side super glued
• adorable boys lamp shade
• Special K bars
• Cute decorative curtain anchors
• a really pretty lace curtain - nothing at all wrong with it
• And, the Creme-de-la-creme - the perfect can with no label!

Check out the pictures!

This is definitly an adventure that I plan on doing again and again...and I hope dearest Kylie 8 Cake will continue to join me!

Now...here's a special treat... We have decided that we simply must have a contest! Guess the contents of the mystery can! K8C believes it to be creamed corn and I believe it to be chunked pineapple. Lol. We are a creative pair. Indeed.
