I am selfish.
So before I post about my best friend's wedding, sounds like a good title for a movie, I need you to feel bad for me. My best friend is moving across seas for an undisclosed amount of time. Far far away. She will not have a phone so I can not text or call her constantly.
Fell bad for me.
Do it!

Finders Keepers
I bought this little number a few weeks ago at a thrift store.
I dont think i need to state that anymore because those are the only stores I go to now. haha I will state otherwise? yes. deal.
It cost me $15. Took it home quite satisfied with my buy! But the satisfaction was amplified when I wore it for the first time and found the original price tag in the sleeve. My eyes widened as I did a double take at the small numbers printed on that tag. Yes that is right my dear friends, it was originally priced at $180!
Love it!! I mean look at the quality of fabric. I am not surpised even in the slightest. But it sure is nice to have the evidence to prove my point.
Now. The dress. Oh the dress. This dress was purchased for $8. Need I say more. One of my favorite staple items. This dress has taken me to weddings, church, work, parties, etc. I love you grey beauty.

A Get-Together Of Sorts
As we go through the awkward phase of getting to know each other we need to share major details of our lives. I am divorced. No need for condolences, I am fine. As I am sure a lot of you may know (because you yourself have been divorced or you know someone who has been divorced) it is not an easy thing to go through.
Frustrating.
Heart-breaking.
Weird.
Lonely.
Relieving.
Want to punch someone.
Want to kiss someone.
Just want a hug.
I'm telling you, it is a horrible feeling and a very different feeling than anything I have ever or think I will ever have to feel. ever. I hope.
But for those who know me, you know I am not one to sit around and sulk. Especially in front of people. That is not me. It never has been.
So one day my sister threw out the idea of a "divorce party" as a joke. I thought about it and realized that could be a great idea! Not to bash marriage or to bash my recently deemed ex-husband but to laugh instead of cry, to show people that I will be ok, to celebrate a new stage in my life. Think of the positive. Glass half full kind of crap. Not in a negative way at all. But if you want to go ahead and think that I am a horrible person be my guest. You go right ahead and judge me. I'm sure it's not the first time you've done it. wow. That got a little tense there. On to more happy notes! :)
So the party. It was a blast! I loved it. A bunch of friends and family went out to dinner then went back to the house and played a photo scavenger hunt. hilarious! My amazing sister and mom came up with some doozies to find. For example, a picture with Bree's first kiss or how about a picture of Bree's favorite book. Nothin' like knocking on an ex-boyfriends front door when you haven't seen them for years. Thrilling. My team won of course.
Then we went back to the house and let it all out with some karaoke! Karaoke and I have a thing going on right now. A bit of a winter fling if you will. But if things go well we may be able to keep this going till summer. :) Who knows, we will see.
Love the sister and the mom for doing this! And love all those who came. Love you to the core.
To throw in a thrifty tid bit. Here is a picture from that special night and my boss (not like my superior at work, a descriptive word to describe something amazing!) scarf I found at a thrift store that came straight from heaven.
Peace.

Shoes Always Fit
I have an obsession. With shoes. All kinds too!! Please see my Wall of Shoes.
For all of those who are quite observant you may have noticed that there are only heels that are being displayed on this artistic wall. The explanation for this would have to be that not all of my shoes fit on my ceiling to floor shoe rack. Here is another shoe rack..... 
And then a closet full of boots.
And there are more in storage. To break it down for you a tad, I have 65 pairs of heels, 25 pairs of boots, 10 pairs of tennis shoes, and 15 pairs of flip flops. Oh and of course a pair of roller skates. Yeah that is 121 pairs of shoe wear. Some tell me it is disgusting but I say it is beautiful. :)
Leather Boots=$10

The reason I share this part of my life with you is because my recent amazing thrift find was a pair of exquisite boots! They are THE coolest. Brown leather cowboy boots. Perfection. I guess glaring at those who come near me and speed walking straight back to the boots pays off every once in a while.
Leather Boots=$10
Unbelieveable! One of the most rewarding feelings is when you find something for 1/10 of the price that it is worth. Rock On Thrifters!
Love Hate Relationship
I have so much to inform you of! But of course,my camera wont work so I cant upload my photos that go with my news. Love hate relationship with that little beauty.But dont you worry your pretty little head. I will find the charger and get those photos! Oh yeah I didnt mention the fact that the camera being "broken" meant it was just out of juice, dead battery, tuckered out. But it is coming. Patience my dear.
