I Steal Dishes From Dead People

Today after school a few other teachers and I went over to see Stacy's new apartment that she and her boyfriend bought. They just got the keys for it today, and we were all anxious to check the place out! Especially since we had all heard about the great 70's style orange tiles in the kitchen! They are planning on redoing the whole apartment this summer, so we just had to get a 'before' look in order to be able to fully appreciate the 'after.'

Apparently, the previous owners had passed away at some point, and it was their children who were selling the place. Well they left a lot of stuff behind like blankets, linens, mops, soap, and kitchen ware. Since they are competely redoing the place, Stacy told us to take whatever we wanted since they were just going to throw it out anyways.

We briefly contemplated having a Greek-style plate smashing celebration on the tacky tiles, but decided against it in the end. I did, however score a few bowls, plates, and the like since a) we only have 2 bowls left in our apartment, having broken the other 3 sometime during the year, and b) I am leaving this place in a short time (and hopefully living somewhere else next year), so why buy?
