Outfits, a cooking first & a couple thrift purchases

Since the beginning of this year I have been wearing faux fur like a crazy woman. The above pic is my newest one which is my first (non vintage)

I ordered it on clearance from Forever 21 I paid $38.00.

When I bought this little white one for $1.00. I was not sure how much I would end up wearing it. But I am thrilled I did purchase it because I love it and wear it at least once a week.

I pretty much feel like a VIP when I wear this fuzzy one out and about.

Yesterday I wore this blue homemade house dress I purchased from an estate sale in the summer. You would expect I was going somewhere slightly important... BUT NAHHH! I wore it to go take a visit to Colonel Sanders. Yes I got dressed up to get lunch from Kentucky Fried Chicken. *LOL*

A couple days back we had a family lunch with my Parents, Brother & Grandparents. The place we went to was a Chinese / Malaysian / Thai food Restaurant. (Lets just say I SCREAMED when I seen this lobster on a table.)

One of the first things I made to eat this year was enchiladas.

I had never made them before. And I ADORE Mexican food. So I thought I would give it a try. I found a recipe online and gave it a go.

*Rolled and ready for sauce and cheese*

*The finished product*

*lol* @ my messy hair... But you can see the PROUD look on my face getting my picture with them... before they went in the oven.

Now for two thrift store purchases that excite me

*SiGh* "ooooooOoOOoOhhHh"

My amazing caramel drizzle milk glass party platter

(Apparently made by Hazel Atlas)

"DEAR HECK" I love this thing. I have it all planned out..

Plan A: Celery, Broccoli, Carrots & Green Peppers in the dishes around and dip in the middle.

Plan B: Pretzels, Peanuts, M&M'S, Cheese puffs and corn nuts in the middle.

What's this?? Fancy Contraption

It's some fabulous Lady Ellen curlers

aren't they groovy?

I was shocked they still had the little cardboard card the clips were fastened too way back when. I want to give these a try real soon.

The last thing I have to tell you is... One of my very first thrift finds in 2012 was a LOBSTER t shirt. (I was completely shocked and in total dismay) I will surely take a pic the first time I wear it. *It is flipping GREAT*

Bye for now

It's 10:05 p.m. here Thurday night

It's 10:05 p.m. here Thurday night I am in my curlers.. What are you doing?? LOL (Kidden kidden) But you can tell me if your like. Fact is.. I am 2 hours away from Friday.. So I am in preparation for Frock on Friday!! *woo* I have picked out what I will wear. See that bottle of nail polish above?? Well I am gonna remove the current orange shade and re-do it with the mystery color. I hope my curlers do not give me too much trouble. Once I press publish on this post, I will do my nails to a randomly chosen movie off netflix. Last night I watched (Million Dollar Babies) the story of the Dionne quintuplets that were born in the 30's. I had only seen bits and pieces before so watching it together everything finally made sense. Its is quite a sad story though. Funny thing is I found a old book about it in a thrift store last week, so I will finish that too.
Also I am super EXCITED because I was supposed to be having a garage sale this weekend which meant I can't go to the sales myself. Well it has been postponed to next weekend because my Brother who was the main one wanting to have a sale is not quite ready. So I said we could move it a week later... little did he know my pure joy inside bubbling over!! *hahaha* Alright see you tomorrow
I am excited!!!! Is anyone ELSE excited or am I just weird?? *SCREAM*

I can't wait to do my makeup.. but I have to sleep first. *lol* WAIT maybe I am over tired...
