I'm almost fully consumed with packing right now, for the most part. I just downed three, ok four, snack sized Kit-Kats in less time than it takes most people to work out a sneeze, so in a word, I'm hormonal as well.
I've got LESS than three full days left at work, which makes me want to dance a little jig on top of a rooftop in a crowded metropolitan area for all to see, but I'm not letting myself near crowds or rooftops right now because I'm anxious enough as is. And have I mentioned that my core four group of girlfriends will be reunited this weekend? Yeah, that's happening. Katherine has been in Korea for a year and Jessica's been in Portland but it moving to Finland for two years. So this will be IT for a while. A long while. It's going to be really, really intense.

| last summer, the last time we were all together. we're taking it back to basics saturday night. |
This weekend I spent the majority of my waking hours in thrift stores with my mother, which was good because we really needed at least one really solid day together before I leave. We're hit or miss, but this weekend was very much a hit, so hooray!
I also had baller luck in the buying department. I purchased a pair of chairs for twenty dollars(!) which I'm reapolstering, and a small-ish table that I'll be painting for eighteen dollars (double !!) and I am absolutely brimming with anticipation at seeing them together as a set in my new sun-soaked dining nook.
I also ought some little odds and ends to add a bit of character, and I'm super psyched to show them off soon. All in all, I didn't spent a ton of money, which was a major bonus and I got to make a project out of my new dining set, which is both masochistic with time running so short and perfect for me because, in case you didn't know, I'm a bit of a freak about personalzing/DIYing my things and I'm nothing if not overwhelmed with activities.
My newest furniture additions are below. Updates to come!

| blah. imagine it the same, only different! confused? |

| how cute is the chair? how disgusting is the seat? what the hell. |
 |
| i've never been happier to rip off a cushion in my life. that shit was HIDEOUS. |
It's okay, Kit Kats are very addicting!
ReplyDeleteGood on you for saving those chairs too, I agree the green was ugly.
I love doing DIY stuff like that! When I was moving out of the dorm from school and into my first apartment, I found a crappy bedside table on the street, took it home, painted it, and added new pulls, and it's still living next to my bed. I also reupholstered a chair I found on the sidewalk. Hope the move went well!!
