new things & a day-date with myself.

As I've mentioned before, my work schedule allows for a mini vacation every week & I couldn't be more grateful.  The four-day weekends are incredible.  The three-day weekends never seem to be enough (but I'll take 'em.)  Don't get me wrong... I typically do nothing productive with the majority of my free-time.  However, I did manage to finish laundry, clean my disastrous room (it's already unorganized again,) and make a couple of necklaces. 

I believe both necklaces have been claimed... but I DO have the supplies to make at least one more of each.  :)  If interested, feel free to shoot me (Kylie) an email or a Facebook message. (Click on my name button on the right of this page for my contact details.)  

This afternoon, I ventured out for a little day-date with myself to peruse a few stores and shops (while enjoying this perfect weather.)  I spotted this gorgeous buffet (in excellent condition) at Salvation Army.  Seriously- will someone go purchase this pretty lady?

I finally ventured into Midwest Pickers.  I hurriedly made my way through but didn't find much that sparked my interest.  I think their merchandise is likely hit-or-miss, so maybe I'll find some treasures next time! 

I also stopped in the Old Market and made my rounds to the usual spots: Joe's Collectibles, Second Chance Antiques, Fairmount Antiques, and reServe.  While walking around, I made my way into Jackson Street Booksellers.  I could spend hours, days, and weeks in that place.  The majority of the book groups are labeled, so that's extremely helpful if you're looking for something specific.

Did you know that some geniuses were evidently unaware that Titanic was a TRUE STORY?!

The Daily What

Have you lost all faith in humanity yet?  Are you, too, contemplating a direct message to each of those Twitter users and questioning whether they graduated from the 5th grade?  I... I just... I just can't believe the stupidity. 

Are you friends with your parents on Facebook?  I was reluctant to approve the friendship request, but I figured I really don't have that much to hide from my mom (anymore.)  Over the weekend, she added some fairly embarrassing Easter photos from the past.  I'm only going to show the semi-acceptable one.  The other should be burned (short hair, dorky glasses, weird stance/facial expression, AND knee-high socks.  What? Why?)  

Yep... that's me... looking kind of "special" while my mullet-haired brother holds me up in his karate pajamas.  At least I grew into that head... (that's a lie.  It's still huge.)  

And here is a photo of Douglas... I know most of you are probably wanting to see the precious gal.

We know... she's the cutest.  Look at those paws!  

Well, I'm hungry so it's time to burn dinner.... again.
