First Friday

It hasn't even been a month since I left my job, but already the days have blurred together and though it freaked me out at first, I now completely love it. Two weeks ago I woke up early one morning in a minor state of panic. I had no idea what day it was. Then I gently reminded myself that it didn't matter because I had no where to be. But the control freak that lives in my head would not let me go back to sleep until I figured out what day it was. It was Friday. Happy Friday everyone!

I failed this mission of daily blogging, 5 days into the project, because I was not online for 10 seconds yesterday. I actually woke up at 6am, the earliest I've woken up since my last day of work, wait no, I never woke up that early for work. Anyhow, it was 6am yesterday and we were getting ready to head to the mountains to spend two days with friends. It was amazing. I opted to skip the slopes and hit the bar. So while 5 others froze while propelling themselves down a mountain I sat on a cozy bar stool and ate fried pickles and drank a bloody mary. The highlight of the trip had to have been the snow tubing. Being the sissy that I am, I hesitated every single time but I too propelled myself down a large icy mountain. It was 10pm and utterly freezing but so much fun. 

Being back in Denver for over two weeks now, I still have not been able to catch up with everyone who I've been missing. I've spent most of my time in my PJ's at my kitchen table working on my etsy shop. The site is running remarkably well. I am so excited to do something I love every day. In the past two weeks I have been to one estate sale, and three thrift stores. I have a closet full of items that have yet to be posted, and I am hoping that this weekend will be my catch up weekend. I made a promise to myself that I would not go shopping for more items until all of these items were posted! 

My latest success with el Cheapo Vintage came at a complete surprise today when I came back from the mountains. My shop stats hit a record breaking high and I soon discovered that two of my latest estate sale finds were featured on a very popular blog, Retrorenevations. Such an honor to be featured on such a popular blog. 

Tomorrow, Saturday, I think, is gonna be a busy day. I plan to post my little heart out and get all of my listings up to date and also make some home made granola. Should be fun! And of course I will share the recipe.
