Wow,it doesn't seem possible but here I am at 30 weeks!I am excited as we draw closer to the finish line but also in a state of panic as it makes me realize how unprepared I am (but like we're ever really ready,right?!).I had my glucose test this morning,yuck!I took the fruit punch horridness over the orange horridness I had opted for with Heidi....it was slightly less horrid but I couldn't wait to get home and get something in my belly!
Blame it on the going so long without eating but I scarfed down ALL of the left over spaghetti in the fridge so then it was carb overload.Needless to say today was not a good day for my poor tummy.It was mad at me for having to fast,then mad at me for having all that sugar in it and then mad cause I over ate.Luckily Heidi took her nap early and so I napped with her and felt a ton better after wards.
We all went to the store later and I finally got a watermelon which I have been craving forever.The hubby was reluctant to buy one because last summer the one we got was horrid but fortunately this one was fantastic.Nothing is better in Indiana's humid summer than some nice watermelon thats for sure.Speaking of watermelon it looks like I'm smuggling one under my shirt!I have so much belly and still 10 weeks to go!
Oh I know by the title of this is sounds like I have some kind of wonderful drama to tell but proof that you can't judge a book by it's cover such is the case here!I suppose the term "new" doesnt really apply either since many years have passed since my ex and I broke up but even though we didn't stay friends afterwards oddly enough his wife and I struck up a bit of an internet friendship.
Thank you Myspace for making it a very small world.See you can move half way across the country and still "run into" people from the past now,aw the internet.She contacted me and we stay in touch,mostly just talk vintage as she's also a fellow vintage lover. Infact some mutual friends of my ex and I have said she was "eerily similar" but I think they're just being dramatic.... much like when I ordered a grilled cheese sandwhich once and one chimed in "oh his ex before you use to order the grilled cheese " oh no!Really?!Hell,I bet she had 2 eyes just like me too!Ha ha!
Well,in one of our conversations we talked about china patterns we collect.I'm bad as I can't commit to one.I collect Salem North Star and Vernon Ware Heavenly Days.I had mentioned that I also like the Oasis pattern from Franciscan but could never find it and online it was always pricey.So much to my delight I got this in the mail from her last week!
Sorry,I didn't end up getting my vintage treasure yesterday due to dear hubby not feeling well still but he did go and pick it up for me today!I love Elvis!And now he gets to adorn my walls!
He's HUGE!28 and 1/2 inches wide and about 40ish inches tall (I made the mistake of hanging it before I measured it and I'm too short to reach the top for an exact measurement and too lazy to haul the chair over there again,ha ha!).I've never seen one so big before so he's not only a fun find but looks great the blank wall I put him on.
For the utter lack of sleep I got last night I was really productive today.My Etsy shop sold out so I got the pleasure of hunting to restock it today.In my haste to leave I didn't bring Heidi's diaper bag,not a big deal but oh that caught up with me about 1/2 way into our walk.I gave her the first row of a Hershey's bar when I should have broken that into the 3 pieces it allows since less time holding it means less time for it to melt in your hand and if you're a toddler all over your face,arms,legs and dress.Thank the Gods for Oxy-clean I was so scared I wasn't going to get it out of her cute red gingham dress but hooray!It did indeed come out!
It was one of those times when you do something you think "man,I am SUCH a mom".Not left with any other option I stuck my daughters grubby little chocolate covered hand in my mouth and sucked off enough so that she could not make the mess any worse.She was greatly amused by this and I booked it the rest of the way to the flea market where I dashed towards the bathroom and attacked her a wet paper towel which she was NOT so amused by.
Though I shouldn't have since my shop has been doing pretty darn good I did treat myself to something I saw there.Unfortunately I couldn't take it with me but my dear hubby is going to pick it up tomorrow.I won't even mention what it is yet because until I can show you a picture I can do no justice to the kitsh-tastic nature of my vintage find.So you'll forgive me teaser but stay tuned vintage awesomeness is coming soon!
Oh and I must somehow figure out a way to rearrange the living room so I can squeeze in this awesome chair with 2 triangle shaped side tables attached to it I saw at the antique mall,it was only $25.00!!I must make it mine,I must!
