BRING YOUR PUDDING....

Hi friends and newer friends, I am making my way to your blogs.   Looking forward to reading about your life and fashion.  I wore this outfit to 2 of my favorite thrifts.   I planned on hitting up 3 places because they are all within a few miles of each other along the same road but I spent too much time in the 2nd place so I came home to change into my work uniform.  Yeah, we now have uniforms.  A pop collar, sunflower yellow, short sleeved shirt and Dickie's.   I don't own Dickie's so I just wear Khaki's.  I used to get dressed in the morning for my blog and then wear the same outfit to work but they decided to make us all look alike.  Not a flattering look at all. 

I know this is a little dressy for thrifting but I find that if you dress up and like what you're wearing while thrifting you will be less likely to buy things that you don't need.  Satisfaction with your outfit = less items purchased especially due to them being cheap.  Besides, I personally meet random people in the thrift store and end up talking to them while shopping so how can I expect to hand out my Suitcase Vignettes card while telling them I'm a fashion blogger if I look crappy?  Now, I don't always dress for thrift shopping because that's too much pressure but I sometimes grant myself the opportunity to hand out a card.  I didn't  hand one out yesterday but I had them in my wallet just in case.  See how I wore this cardi 2 years ago here

Georgia is obsessed with her ball.  I was throwing it in between shots just to get her off the deck but man, she fetches fast.

 

  My current job as an Activities Associate in an assisted living home is due to chatting with my friend Carolyn at the thrift.  She is a gorgeous blond that I happen to meet one day in Goodwill.  We would run into each other occasionally and exchanged numbers one time.  A year later, after having gotten to know each other, she told me about a job available at her work.  I immediately left the thrift store and went home to call the number she had given me for an interview.  I was hired a week later.  So, you never know what opportunities can come along when you least expect it.   Thank you Carolyn if you are reading this...you better be reading my blog.  HA!

Monday night I was putting Chuckles, (nickname) one of the clients at work, on the elevator to take him to bingo and I said to him, "bring your foot in" (his foot was hanging out of the elevator) he said, "what"?   I said, "bring your foot in",  he said, " I didn't have any pudding".  I busted out laughing.   I guess "bring your foot in" sounds like " bring your pudding"????  Found this book at the thrift store.  I think target sells it.  I am hoping to find some good recipes to share.  I think I am becoming a cowgirl in my mind, I need an old pickup to go junkin.  That would be cool.
