I was about to post yesterday with an update of what's been going on in my life, but I stopped myself. Why you ask? Because I realized I am not that comfortable doing a post with no pictures. I don't know why exactly it just seems weird to me to not have pictures. I have decided to suck it up though because I need to update you guys on my life, pictures or not, so here it goes.
The past couple of weeks I have been working at Chili's, applying for "real" jobs, and going to a few interviews. Period. End of story. That is all I have been doing. Sounds fun doesn't it. Nope it's not. The working at Chili's part is okay because I actually really enjoy my job, but looking for a job is not glamorous or fun. Frankly it stinks a whole heck of a lot. Can't I just have my dream job already?! I have had interviews at two different places: a law firm as an administrative assistant and at a timeshare resort as a concierge. I have gone back to the resort or a second interview and am going back again this Friday to see if I like it so I will keep you posted on that. Also if I hear anything else from any other places I will let you folks (not guys...staying gender neutral) know.
I was joking earlier. I haven't only been working and looking for a job, although it does feel that way. I have been working with my coworker, friend Lissa on making headbands to sell in salons and on Etsy. It has been so much fun. I mean I love doing crafts and to make money for doing it sounds fantastic to me. We are in the process of working out our Etsy so I will give you the deets on it once it is all set up.
I have also been doing some awesome garage saling (I know that isn't a word but we have made it one) and thrifting with my bestie Liza. We were on a mission to find the boys (when I say boys I mean Ryan and Bobby, and Robert most of the time but on this case no Robert) some furniture for their new apartment. The first time we went we got them a nice sold wood coffee table for $9! I also found some great finds for myself as usual. I got two great vintage suitcases for a buck a piece!!!
When the lady said $1 each I was shocked and snatched them right up. The next time we went we brought the boys with us so that they could see the items and decide right there if they wanted it or not. Apparently they are good luck, because the first place we went was not even 1 minute from their apartment and we found a nice table with four chairs for $40! We then proceeded to find a sectional couch for $50!! Meaning they got all of their furniture for under $100. I'd say that is impressive. I have to pat Liza and myself on the backs for that one. If it wasn't for us they would have a $600 couch and a cheap walmart card table. That same time I found a high end wine aerator never been used for $1!!!!
It was the same one Mr. Armentor used at our wine tasting. At the same place I got these two awesome hot air balloon plates for 10 cents a piece. I am currently obsessed with hot air balloons so I figured why not they are 10 cents I can figure out something to do with them. I ended up giving them to Chrissy because she is doing a plate collage wall decoration thing. At least I know they are being put to good use.
While we were out garage saling we stopped off at the Antiques Showroom in downtown Mesa. Holy motherload did they have a lot of stuff. We spent probably 2+ hours in there, to Ryan's chagrin. I was in love!!! Every booth I was enthralled in all of the amazing vintage goodness. At some of them I was even saying "hey my grandma has that!" I ended up buying three vintage books: a political cookbook for Chrissy, a 50s housewife how to book basically, and a perfect hostess book.
This is a picture in the how to book. I thought it was hilarious. It is showing you how to have proper posture. I have a feeling I am going to learn a lot of extremely useful stuff from this book :)
I will definitely be going there again real soon. After all that Bobby, Liza, and I went to eat lunch at The Cornish Pasty which happens to be on my list of restaurants to go to in AZ up on the right of this here blog. Now I can cross another one off of my list. I am going to do a review of it in another post so you can see if I liked it. A couple of days ago Liza and I went to an estate sale down the street from her grandparents to peruse around and look at some furniture her grandma thought we would like for our future apartment. We ended up getting a table and 6 chairs, an old trunk, a corner shelving unit, and a ton of other littler things for $10!!! The people were basically begging us to take the stuff. I was cool with it. The cheaper the better and the faster we can save money and move out into a place we can use the stuff.
Man I sure do know how to ramble on. I am sure I have more to say, but this post is getting a little ridiculous so I will save it for another time.
Thanks for putting up with the long post and I will keep you posted with my job search.
By the way this was typed on my phone so excuse any spelling errors. I blame it on the iPhone autocorrect. And I know at the beginning I said I didn't have any pictures, but I realized I had a few on my phone so I guess I fretted about nothing.
