I Feel Like A Broken Record...

I feel like a broken record... BUT... I'll say it again... TIME IS JUST WHIZZING BY!.. it's a little scary actually... time is flying by quicker and quicker all the time it seems... March!?. Where'd you go!?.  yeah it's done and over with!.. and to keep the broken record spinning work has been INSANE!.. it's slowed down for me this week... and really its not "slow"... it's just more of a normal pace!.. Have you found that time has been just flying by?

About a week and a half ago a coworker and I headed to Vegas to oversee the setup of on of my projects... a quick rush job that turned out AWESOME!.. I went with the intention to take lots photos... well after the busy work weeks before the Friday evening travel, getting there and going out for a bit we'd been awake for about 23 hours before calling it quits!.. the weekend flew by of course... saw a few things... Rod Stewart... Ka by Cirque du Soleil... walked the strip and did a little bit of shopping but just didn't take many photos at all... it was a quick short trip and two of three days were spent overseeing the assembly of the project... 

Took a few shots when we arrived... and were driving to the NYNY... Vegas is very blinky and loud!.. I think it looks best at night...

...the fact that my iPhone is on the fritz big time didn't help with the photo situation...  major lag... hardly takes a photo... mostly blur... I've got a couple months on my phone contract before I can upgrade without it costing me mucho dinero... LAME!..

Coworker's phone is not in shit shape... so I got a few photos from him... like this one below... standing on the stage at Ceasar's Palace!.. we got to check out the backstage setup!.. whoot for connections!..

Very tired me below...  we got back late Monday night and then I headed into work early Tuesday morning... totally exhausted... check out the Rod Stewart shirt... vintage looking with baseball sleeves!.. score!..

Fell asleep super early all last week... basically I slept away the last week of March... 

This weekend just past old Neib A and I went out and about... I only say "old" because they moved over a few streets away... to find her a wedding dress... her search continues... BUT we had some awesome lunch at Ox and Anglea... zomfg... everything there is DELISH!.. and the waitstaff... amazeballs!.. it was super fun times... started with some bubbles and then...

...lots of tasty nibbles...

...dessert!?.  make sure you order some when you go...

...oh... I drove all day on Saturday!.. for those who don't know me that sounds lame... BUT it was downtown!.. just a little more parallel parking practice and I'll be set to take my test... it's starting to sound lame to me now... time to suck it up and get my license... I KNOW...

Check out these pretties... today when my Furbear picked me up from work he had these for me!.. fleurs from my Furs!.. Love!.. 

To get more rest because the past two months have been anything but restful I'm making this short week even shorter... taking Thursday off!.. hmm... there is a winter storm warning in effect... the weather network is calling for a storm starting tomorrow night... a good excuse to stay in and rest on Thursday!.. do you have Easter weekend plans?.. I'm making my big left to do list for the Vintage Chicks sale that is coming up quick!..

I'm so excited!.. Tomorrow at 4pm the Vintage Chicks Sale kicks off!.. 

I'll be there in the morning helping to set up... and to get photos of all of the vendors setting up!..  Furs and I popped down there this evening to bring down my few items and to lend a hand...

Here are a couple shots of a few of my things... I managed to get a couple of things together over the past few days...  I still have the second Demilune Table that needs its final sanding... That'll be tomorrow night so that I can bring it down on Saturday!..

I have a couple small items to tag up before I head to bed... oh and I have to pull out the camera gear that I'm bringing... and make sure my laptop... camera... and phone are all charged up!..

...

...Okay... just finished my tags... it's just about 2am now... camera gear can get packed up in the AM!..

Here's a sneaky peak of what you're going to get at the Vintage Chicks Sale!..

Vintage Chicks...

After collecting Serrene on Saturday morning we headed to the Millarville Market, and then to the Vintage Chicks sale in Priddis... well it was beyond amazing!  And the prices were also soo good and amazingly reasonable!  I ended up leaving the sale with a vintage chenille bedspread (pictures to come later), a lavender pillow, and two vintage jars - one with a nest inside and the other with eucalyptus and a blue egg inside (pictures to come later of these too)...  Check out my flickr photostream for photos from the sale... AND I won the draw for the "gift basket,"  and calling it a gift basket is the understatement of the century!  It was a huge basket brimming full of wonderful things, and a pile of gift certificates for various vendors at the show!  AND a beautiful vintage scale, AND a super beautiful table (that goes oh so lovely in my front room)... here's a snap of it... I couldn't believe it when they called and said "you've won,"  and when I got there an the lady said "this is all yours!"  I was like "WHAT THE!?..." so awesome!  

I'm feeling so lucky to have won all of these beautiful treasures!  Today S and I are going downtown to take photos...

Hi there Monday...

I started this post on Friday...  and am just opening my laptop again now...  The picture above is BBQ'd corn - I have to say its soo tasty - AND easy to do!  You just peel back the corn husk but leave it attached to the base, then pull out all the little silky strings and then put the husk leaves back up over the corn and voila!  its ready to go on the BBQ!

Originally, the plan for the weekend was to tidy the house for our next week visitor (Serrene!!) and put up the blinds that we picked up for all our windows on the way home Friday... well Saturday we started with the blinds after a quick trip to Good Earth for Earl Gray Lattes... yum... then we got the blinds up, cleaned two of the upstairs room and got the laundry washed and dried and then we went out for the evening... so yesterday I majorly slept in for me and didn't get working away at the house again until the afternoon - so some cleaning has to happen when we get home this evening!

Didn't do much in the way of creating this weekend, didn't get downtown for a day of photos, but the cootie catcher has developed and once I have the pink paper to print them on I'll take a few snaps of version 2.0.  Its really sweet!  And this coming weekend we're checking out Millarville market AND what looks like its going to be an amazing sale - its called the Vintage Chicks Sale, in Priddis - here is a link: The Vintage Chicks...

Then on Sunday we're heading out and about to explore surrounding Alberta with Serrene.  I'm thinking that Monday we'll be heading downtown to photograph the city.

Should find some times during the evenings this week to work on a few projects... and I found a few things around the house I feel the need to photograph!  Shots will follow!... and I've got to check out flickr...
