Oh, the Joy....

...of garage sale-ing! I have to admit, I've never liked going the second-hand route, whether it be second-hand stores, antique stores, or garage sales. BUT....I have to admit....they have some pretty good stuff down here! I bought an espresso machine and iron for $5 at one place, and promptly forgot to pay the people. I went back several hours later and the guy didn't even realize that I hadn't paid! Anyways, then I bought some stamps for my sister and a Cooking Light cookbook. THE find of the day, however, was a FREE record player! I'll post pictures of it later, but I like it! The lady even gave me several records that didn't sell for free. :D Oh, and I found a washer/dryer set for $160 and the guy is going to find someone to haul it to my apartment for me. I only spent $10 today though. Crazy, huh! I said my aunt is an awesome bargain shopper and I ain't a-kidding! I still need some furniture though. And my taste isn't generally the garage sale furniture that we found today. Oh, well. I'll find something.

Happy Days!

Well, this is just an update on what has been going on in my life. I graduated (with high honors!) with an Associate of Applied Science degree in Interior Design in the beginning of May. Two weekends later my older sister got married, so that was pretty exciting times for my family as well. By the next Thursday, I had moved from home and started my new job. Luckily, I have an aunt and an uncle who have graciously offered their home to me to stay in, but I have been looking for apartments ever since. I had a bad experience with a landlord yesterday, so I decided to take the first one I was offered and be done with it. I signed everything today and will be able to move in tomorrow. I am pretty excited to start decorating my new place! I don't have much right now, but my aunt who lives down here is an amazing bargain shopper, so no worries there!
