Vintage Shopping

This post is seriously overdue but the past two weeks have been very long, difficult, and filled with lots of studying and emotions. Thankfully they are complete and this week will be relaxing and stress free...I hope :)

This weekend was lovely. I slept in and relaxed and did nothing that required extensive brain activity. On Saturday, Mary and I were productive and exercised. We rode our bikes around UMHB while speaking in a British accent. I must say it's quite amusing and becomes rather addictive after a couple of hours. We then decided to stop by Sonic. Why you may ask? Because it was happy hour of course! There's nothing like that first sip of a large diet coke. It's a moment filled with pure bliss. Some may regard my love for DC as unhealthy and altogether quite silly to consume that wonderful dark brown, carbonated product, but I say they can get over it. It keeps me sane on impossible days. When 2-4 in the afternoon rolls around you know where to find me 

Next, Mary and I figured we should browse through the antique shops given it is now February and we still have not been shopping in downtown Belton. This is where the real adventure begins. The moment I stepped into the first quaint little shop, I knew I was hooked. I immediately began to observe all of the various articles and furniture. I decided then and there that I am an antique lover. With that said, I have decided to change my room at home over the summer. I will do so with a vintage look but still keep a modern feel. I purchased a green vintage suitcase and a Rick Springfield album on vinyl. (He is one of my favorite artists!)

Upon rummaging through all of the knick knacks, I was in an alternate reality, one which consisted only of euphoria. Dramatic much? Who cares. With a large DC in my left hand and my wonderful finds in the other, I gladly handed the shop owner my debit card, which had been reimbursed just days before. Despite the fact that I spent the aforementioned compensation, I do not regret purchasing the items. They belong in my soon-to-be vintage room. Their destiny is now complete. Again, dramatic, I know, but let’s face it, vintage shopping is my drug. Well, that and large diet cokes during happy hour at Sonic.

I hope you all had a relaxing weekend and pray that this week will bring you joy and happiness as Saturday did for me.

Peace and love.
