Went to a few exciting sales yesterday and today, found a great find today. Here's what I bought:
A yummy cinnamon roll, a pair of fish squirters, a tiny black cup, a "let it snow" sign, and an embroidered hanky.
Found all these in the free boxes: a cute doll, a tiny tiger, green plastic beads, pom pom man, crocheted (?) turtle (it's actually some kind of holder), an angel made from a tiny shaker, and a butterfly pin.
The butterfly pin was bought from a new store in our downtown, I got to talking with the owner, she has her artwork and a few other artists in the community, she let me leave some business cards and said if I wanted I could bring some art to sell.
A stuffed puppy, frog, and bunny, a care bears bank.
A couple kids sunglasses, an activity book, a cute pink bag, and two Sesame Street characters.
Here's my great find: a bag full of jewelry. I found it at an unplanned stop, I saw a couple signs as I was heading to another, and stopped at this one on the way back. There was a plastic container filled with all the jewelry in the picture, priced as 10 cents each. As I started looking through, I kept finding all this cool stuff. So, I asked if I could buy the whole thing, and the lady gave it to me for $3.00, I also found the pair of frogs and elephant at that sale. Any ideas what I should do with the lot of jewelry pieces I'm not interested in?
A post secret book. I've always wanted one of these cause they're so fun to look at, but I don't see the point of paying upwards of $14.00 for basically a picture book, but for 50 cents, I'll take it.
I thought it was a pretty good weekend, but I've decided I need to start taking a larger bag to carry things, I keep ending up with either my bag full, or another plastic bag with it.
On another note, I joined Match.com and OKcupid, and told people that my screenname on yahoo, and MSN is weinkermeyer. I got my first person chatting with me today. After saying hi and what are you doing, he asks if I want to do a video chat (no), and then says he looks pretty good and has a nice body. I really don't care. Most of my reasoning for adding my screenname is so I can learn about a person before I see them. I do judge a lot on appearance, even though I try not to, so I was hoping to learn more about the person before seeing them. And then he says "are you always this boring?" because I was ignoring his comments about his body, and actually doing other things online.
Guess I'll have to wait a bit longer for the intellectual ones to contact me.
I also learned (after filling out my profile) that match.com makes you subscribe to message people. I'm not doing that, I don't really trust online dating sites that much, and I'm pretty happy with my life right now, but I was taking Carrie's advice to put myself out there. But, I'm sure not paying for it, maybe some day when I'm more into dating (and have more extra $$), maybe, but not now.
Did you guys find anything cool this week?
So, I changed my profile picture to this one:
And now I've got more people interested in me. I've been chatting in Yahoo messenger last week with one of them, who just sent me a message yesterday that I should text him, I'm not completely sure I'm up to that point of him knowing my phone number yet, but I'm giddy about it. I got another message from a guy yesterday interested in chatting with me. And I messaged two guys today. I get sent 'matches' every day by a program on this site, and I decided to look at them today (I generally delete them), and messaged two of the guys. I'm giddy about that too. I'm really excited that guys are interested in me (even if it's just through a website), because I've never gotten much interest from guys before. And everything in my profile is all me, I didn't type anything in because I thought it might interest a guy. I've said how I love action/violent movies, that I read true crime books, that I love muscle cars and shooting.
