my glorious loot and the time out chair.

yesterday my sweet thrifting buddy and i had a date. we started off with lunch, and because i love a good, greasy, heart-stopping lunch, i got a side of cheesesticks with my cheesy potato soup (i really like cheese). afterward, we did a little thrifting and came away with some pretty nice loot. micaela said that she and i were bad for each other because we would talk one another into buying all sorts of things, but i actually think we're perfect for each other, because if you don't get something you like from the thrift store, it probably won't be there when you go back. so, the way i see it, we're just saving each other from heartache! now, look on my treasures (i recently watched borat)...

i'm so painfully shy that i even feel weird when chris takes my picture. that's why i look like i do there. i really love the dress. i'm not allowed to wear jeans to work (which sucks, especially since all of my clients wear jeans and wouldn't be offended if i did), so i pretty much wear dresses year round. i like to look for dresses that work in the miserable summer heat, but still look cute with leggings, scarves, coats and boots in the winter. this one passes the four seasons test!

poor little native american man has a bad hair day, and i think he may be a little bit of a creeper. still, i think he's oddly cute. and because i'm now certifiably cat crazy, i just couldn't resist this sweet little planter. i mean, who doesn't love a yellow kitty playing with a giant ball of yarn?!?

last, and best of all, is The Chair. i love it so much i even capitalized its name! this is the one thing i'm SO glad micaela talked me into buying, because if i'd come home sans Chair, i probably would have cried. well, probably not, but maybe, thanks to my lady hormones. anyway, i told her that when chris saw it, he'd probably say, "what do you need a tiny Chair for???" but because chris is baby crazy and can't wait to be a dad, i'd say, "one day we'll have a kid, and they can sit in it," and then he'd like it. he did ask me what i needed with that Chair, and i explained all the reasons micaela gave me to support owning The Chair, and the things i could set on it. so, clearly he had to understand. but the real fun came when i told him what my plan was. since chris is 6'2" and The Chair is about 1' tall, i told him that it would be hilarious if he sat in it for a picture to go in this blog post! so he sat in The Tiny Chair, then i gave him a tiny book to read and we died laughing. it was so hilarious that i thought i'd wet my pants. so after we finally stopped laughing, chris did something to pick on me, and i told him to be careful or he'd have to go sit in The Timeout Chair. then the laughing started again. i can see The Chair will bring us lots and lots of joy, so thanks, micaela! and i've already decided that it will be mandatory for people who come to visit me have their picture taken in my tiny timeout Chair.

whew, i feel like i did a lot of rambling! anyway, i hope you've had a good weekend so far, and i hope you have a good monday!
