Up to my old tricks

It keeps getting better....

It's a bust.

This weekend, while avoiding the moving mess we went to Gastonia to the 321 flea market. I love flea markets...I love seeing all the junk and the crap. I especially love the search, the search to find that special piece. I love that our things in our house usually have a story behind them. I, however, did not love the 321 flea market. This flea market had almost all NEW items, it was also a bit cold out and they had the ceiling fans going. I was a popsicle when we left. I was so disappointed. But while we were in Gastonia we made the most of it and decided to explore. I had just bought a GPS and we let here do the leading. BIIIIG mistake. She apparently was not the newest model and really needed her map updates. Too bad we didn't know this information before hand. She lead us all through town...to the wrong locations. Luckily I knew where a few things were and L.F. helped us out as well. We hit up a few thrifts and did not find a single thing. I really wasn't in the mood to look either. I was bored while we were there. I don't know what is wrong with me. Maybe I am burnt out? Who knows, but I enjoyed spending wasting the day with Chris. To end a wasted day we stopped by Krispy Kreme, unfortunately the hot light wasn't on.

I will be back later with Music Monday(on Tuesday) and if I feel like it...a fashion post....*gasp*

Til next time XOXO

The only rule for today is do not kill me..

Reader Beware: This blog really isn't about thrifting...just me writing about life. :)

L.F. and I have been internet friends for as long as I can remember. She started dating(and eventually married) a Myspace friend of mine and friended me as well. Recently we started talking more and more...I soon began to realize this chick is a lot like me...which as we all know...I'm pretty fantastic..haha I kid.. So we decided to meet up and go shopping together...she took me to some stores I have never been in such as Ikea(I know I'm lame) and Anthropologie(again I'm lame and sheltered). Chris was not happy I was driving to Gastonia to meet a stranger from the internet. He was worried about my safety(how sweet for him to be concerned). He actually asked me what the heck was I thinking meeting people from the internet..I suppose he forgot I met him thru Myspace as well..LOL.   During our Charlotte shopping spree we also visited Goodwill I ended up getting some things for me and a few for Chris. We shared some giggles, stories and fun. As we get older it becomes harder and harder to find new friends but you can make friends as adults. :)

Other news, I had a job interview the other day. Apparently I impressed him and he is sending me on do another interview. YAY..He did mention social networking while we were talking. I am not sure what rules they have in place for social networking but I may not be able to write my blog if I do get this job. It's a sacrifice I will have to make but hopefully it will not come to that.

Til next time, XOXO!

Feelin' Good

It's Michael Friggin Buble'. End of story. :)

Powerful Stuff

I love this song and so did the marketing people at Subaru. What's not to love? I love his voice, the guitar...pretty much everything about this song. Enjoy! :)

Consumed

I have been consumed with all things wedding the last week or so I completely forgot to post a finished picture of our yellow dresser. My bad. Also I got slack on Music Mondays, I will be back later with that post as well.

Thar she blows...

Now I need to take down the temporary flower curtains(that belong in my craft room) replace with our pretty black curtains, hang our large mirror and actually decorate the top of the dresser instead random items scattered across it.

I am going to be laying off the thrifting trips for awhile. We are saving up for our wedding so the next posts will probably be related to wedding stuff, house stuff or budget friendly meals...and possibly an outfit or two.


Speaking of wedding stuff and of course thrifting..our latest trip I picked up several things to make cake/cookie/cupcake stands. I am so excited I will be showing those off when I have a day off and it isn't rainy or cold. I do have to spray paint them. I also picked up some random vases I plan to spray paint a glossy white to imitate milk glass. I am also excited that I will be meeting with our photographer, ever since we got engaged I have wanted to work with this local photographer. :)

Til next time XOXOX

Take me down to the little white church..

Errr big brown clubhouse? Either way we booked our venue for our wedding...The Rutherfordton Clubhouse. It isn't huge but it will do and it is gorgeous! Now to book my photographer..will not give that one away just yet. I have to find some cheapy decorations and since we can't use open flame candles those are out...booo hiss..  I just hope every thing will come together, I am most concerned about the food. Food is so expensive and we will be making most of it so I have to have come up with things that will be easy to make or can be in the fridge for a day or two and still be great. Along with the wedding cake I wanna do some other alternatives such as pie and cookies...oh the ideas I have!  But follow along as I do my wedding...the thrifty way :)  'Til next time XOXOX ~Jess
