Days 6 & 7: Lazy weekend.
Quickie update on my 30 for 30. Saturday, I stayed home all day. And as planned, I organized, cleaned, and got in a little sewing. But later that evening I met up with some homies for wine, and Taboo. I threw on jeans, boots and a v neck. Turns out, I missed the memo that everyone would be in pajamas. dang it. I love pajamas.
On Sunday I, again, stayed home all day. I lounged about a bit, and then hit the sewing machine for a few hours. Later, I headed to my brother’s place for dinner, COD Black Ops (gave it test run), niece and nephew cuddles, and fresh baked cookies. Again, I threw on jeans, boots a t shirt. I actually didn’t end up wearing the scarf over.

I’m trying to include weekends, boring as this one may be. But, I want to get through the 30 days sooner rather than later. I am already really starting to appreciate the clothes in my closet. I want to wear so many of them all so badly now that I’m limited. This is working. So far, I’m doing fine on the no shopping. But, 7 days isn’t long yet. So, we’ll have to check back in on that next week, and see if I’m feeling an itch…
Day 3: Olive being a winner!
I got to work today to find that I won $100 Cash from Beso.com through Elaine’s blog, Clothed Much. My heart pretty much stopped for a second. I remember entering the giveaway thinking if I won I would buy the Steve Madden Intyce in Grey. Since I have been lusting after them for some time. But, I’m not shopping this month. So, I may reward myself with them at the end of this shopping free month (but, that seems besides the point of the whole no shopping thing) But, I do plan to spend the winnings on something I can find on Beso.com, you can literally find anything looking for. I’m pretty stoked. I love winning. Thank you Elaine, I LOVE your blog. And Thank you, Beso.com. Did I just give an acceptance speech for winning $100? Pretty cheesy.
Day 3′s outfit is extremely uneventful. I almost don’t care to post it. But, I want to do them all. I scrambled this together in a rush this morning. I had originally planned another (cuter) outfit last night. But, it involved a skirt. And it didn’t end up feeling comfortable for today. It’s just one of those days. So, maybe later in the week I’ll wear it.
I love these olive jeans. I found them at TJ Maxx for $12.99!!!! I can’t wait to put them to better use with funner outfits.

Tattoo tour.
I joined a tattoo tour blog hop, per suggestion from my sister in law, and here it is, finally.
Chchchchchanges.
I’m moving allllll of my sewing/crafting content to a new page!
From now on, visit Stitches.Krustal.com!
Come on! It will be fun!
I will be keeping the content here for a little bit, until I can get some links changed on other sites. But eventually it will all be over there, and this will be left just for my blabbering. Hooray!
What’s next?
sooooo much.
I need to finish the living room paint before the party next weekend! I was hoping to have a lot more done by then, but I need to focus on just getting that one thing done, I think. Other stuff has to wait now… oh well. Work is more important now anyhow.
Oh, and Vegas thisssss weekend. I need a weekend away. sounds stupid I guess, since I have only been working a couple months now… but, really being unemployed was not like a vacation for me. It was more stressful than having a job. I’m so grateful that I can reward myself with this little 2 day trip right now, and celebrate Sarah’s Birthday!!!! Is it Friday yet???????
Budoir.
I got my furniture for the bedroom!!! I am so in love with it. I originally set out to find pieces to paint, but I’m too happy with these. Paint would actually ruin them, I feel like.

dresser #2
messy room! at least, with furniture now!
yippeeeee! I Loooove craigslist. This all worked out so nicely. Thanks especially to my sister for driving with us to get the first dresser and night stands in her car. She is amazing for lending her time during the week. And then to the guy for dropping off the second dresser to us! so helpful…

Some photos from the work we did painting the living room a couple weekends ago…
Paint….
Painting…
Painted.
Well, that was just the first coat. More has been done since. More pics after I get stuff hung on the wall, hopefully next week.
Strip House.
Seriously hoping the girls will be down to eat here when we are in Vegas next weekend:
Seriously, gets me a little choked up and makes my heart go pitter patter…
NOW, those are some GLORIOUS red walls.
Shooz.
So, after a day at work that left me feeling a bit blue, I went home to Jeremy who took me to Urban Outfitters to hunt around since it’s employee appreciation week and he gets his 40% on everything, sale and all!!!!! It was one of my favorite parts about working at Urban. I got a lot of goodies… let me tell ya. Sandals, a pair of flats that I am pretty stoked about, a dress and a few other things, and spent half of what I could have! Awesome. So, we go home. And I had been talking about these shoes on the website I had been wanting that were $198. Well, recently they were marked down to $99.99, and Jeremy had mentioned buying them tonight, so, I did!!!! I have been drooling over these shoes for a while now, I can’t believe I own them!! I can’t wait until they actually get here in 3-4 business days (had to get quicker shipping, so I can bring them to VEGAS).
Bask in the glory.
I was feeling a little shoppers guilt afterwards… I really don’t usually spend $80 on shoes, thats how much it came out to be with shipping. Vut, I just got to work this morning and checked my bank statement and saw that my paycheck was deposited, and I no longer feel the guilt. I’ve worked really hard the past few weeks and actually got some overtime.
Hooray for Shoooooes!
