Adventures in Garage Sale Land and 22 before 23!

So since my last post I haven't done much! Saturday, me and Kristin scored some muy awesome loot at our Garage Sale Extravaganza!

Here are the books I bought for a dollar each! Young Frankenstein for two dollars! And some to go cups that have animal faces on them for 50 cents!! 



Found the flower bag at Goodwill, it was the most expensive item of the day totaling $5.50, but I think it was totally worth it!  I bought some frosting tips and the thing that is striped is a tiny replica of a lawn chair that I put on my desk at work to hold my iPhone while I am working haha!

Here is the Goodwill bag, chair, and frosting tips again! I also bought two men's dress shirts and totally paired them with belts and leggings...it looks rad! The bag in the back is made out of straw and is from Mexico! Kristin said I could tote around my paintings and drawings around in it, so I snagged it up!


After we "garage saled" our butts off, I went home to see my parents and one of my sisters.  Came back to mi casa and made cake pops.  This was my first time doing this, but I had so much fun doing it and I even had someone offer to pay me to make some for an upcoming baby shower! AAAHHHH my first paid job as a baker!!

Besides baking up a storm and buying other people's junk, I have been leading a pretty uneventful life...which leads me to the second part of my title of this post.  22 before 23! I saw this on another girl's blog and thought it was such a great motivator and neat idea so I decided to post my 22 before 23.  Basically what it is is 22 things I want to do before I am 23.  I have been 22 for about a month and a half now, but we are just going to act like we don't know that ;)

Ok so here goes:

1. Brainstorm ideas for a novel to write
2. Take steps towards ridding myself of my fear of water
3. Finish the Harry Potter series (books and movies)
4. Make plans for my bookstore/bakery
5. Volunteer at least one day a week for 26 weeks (that's half of the year)
6. Try a new food item
7. Rid myself of drinking sodas
8. Broaden my horizons with pastry recipes
9. Pay off two of my credit cards
10. Make a complete stranger smile :)
11. (Half way there!) Do yoga and/or pilates at least 4 times a week
12. Limit myself on fast food
13. Attend two concerts
14. Start an Etsy store with my best friend, Kristin
15. Do something nice for someone I barely know
16. Compliment Coby everyday
17. Clean my house thoroughly every week
18. Limit myself on alcoholic drinks (this one makes me seem like I am an alcoholic, I mean purely in a social setting because I really am only a social drinker)
19. Stop biting my nails
20. (Almost there) Take more photos, document my life a little bit better
21. Take a vacation/Travel out of Arkansas with Coby
22. Decide whether or not law school is for me

Whelp! There you go! My 22 before 23!

TTFN!
