We luckily have one cabinet that doesn’t have glass in the doors, so my silly cups and the kids tumblers live there. I feel the not washing, I’m just at the point where I’m gonna try and enjoy this stuff and attempt to not get bummed if they get destroyed. I did buy a second Monster Squad 😏

I also bought these. I’ll add them to my FR Munsters, Frankenstein, and Creature from the Black Lagoon souvenir cups…

So, I’ve made a switch to just drinking water with a half portion of Crystal Light mixed in a half-gallon jug. So I needed more cups at home. Fright Rags coming through with the fancy drink-ware…

What’s weird is that I see this in the deep fandoms often. With Monster Squad there are a few things that never pop up, but when they do it’s in groups of twos or threes. It really is like the universe aligning…
