The new house we're renting is fully furnished. Meaning, not only does it have furniture, but it has everything else a household needs like towels and dishes and all that stuff. How cool is that? You just move into a house and voila, there are folded towels in the closets! There's no unpacking boxes or removing eye make-up with toilet paper until that box with the wash clothes is unearthed. Because, why do I always label half my boxes "miscellaneous" whenever I pack? I need to be better supervised.
This new house also has concrete floors throughout, which is great, because when the first ceramic plate hits the floor, shatters into a million pieces, and cuts off my toe, it'll make wiping up the blood that much easier. Therefore, we've decided to replace the ceramic dishes, and glasses, with plastic ones.
So last night at the grocery store we bought these Jesus plates. And since religious ideology is everywhere, I wasn't surprised to find these. Jesus does big business down here.
We're not particularly religious people [as our plates may otherwise suggest], and plastic Jesus plates may be more tacky than holy. But people, if I haven't already made this clear before, it's not like I can just skedaddle down to IKEA or Target and pick-up some cute place settings. I go to Walmart in Mexico, which is similar to the regular Walmarts back home, but with even worse lightening, if that's possible.
