If You Really Knew Me

If you browse blog-land at all then I'm sure you've seen this trend of these "if you really knew me posts."

It's fun to see some real life stuff about people, and it got me thinking, I don't share that much about myself with all you lovlies.

So, I'm going to go ahead and join the madness!  I think it's important that all of you get a little bit more about me, not always just the formulated, planned posts :)

If you really knew me you would know that...
I always start projects when I don't really have enough time accomplish them, or when it's just silly.  For instance, I got risers for me bed and was trying to set them up on my own at 12:30 AM (sorry downstairs neighbors).  This was of course after showering and putting my close away, after making 60 cupcakes, I should have been sleeping, but the motivation hits at really weird times in my life.

I sometimes act way more confident then I actually am, I second guess a lot of what I say when I get home.

I LOVE thrift stores.  When I "need" new clothes, thrift stores are my first stop.

I love to bake for people, I don't love when people expect me to bake for them.

Along with the above statement, I LOVE baking, but I'm not really sure I would actually want to open a bakery, I like to do what I love simply because I love it.

Someday I would love to produce documentaries all over the world, telling stories of people who's stories never get told.

I'm really good at being friendly, and I love to hang out with people, I have a really hard time building deep relationships with people.

I found my current career on accident, and I love it.  I was browsing through degree programs at my school when I got fed up with mine and found Broadcast Production, haven't looked back since (I have no idea what I would be doing outside of this!)

I am incredibly forgetful.  I usually know where my keys are but I always forget to bring things with me, put things away, etc.

I don't usually believe that my cupcakes are delicious.  More often than not I don't even have one cause I know I'll just be disappointed.  I guess I just feel like I could have always done better.

So there you have it!  What are some things that I don't know about you?

Love,

Thankfully Thrifted Thursday-Bar Cart

So for the past couple of weeks I've been talking about what I'm thankful for each week.  This week I would like to extend this post, so there will be two features!

First I'll show you one of my favorite, recently thrifted pieces and then I'll give a brief list of things that I am thankful for this week.

Sound fun?  That's what I thought!  Can I just say that I'm always thankful for thrift stores?  They are for sure my favorite!  I hardly ever go to "real" stores anymore :)  It's so great!

I found this bar cart (which I am SO unhealthily in love with) at an ARC here in Denver.  It wasn't a planned visit to the store, my friend and I had some time to kill at when my eyes caught this amazing piece I knew I had to buy it!  And then I saw the price tag of only $25 and it was practically in my car!

It fits so perfectly on this wall in my apartment that's right by the door, so it occasionally doubles as a key drop which is perfect!

It has a functional burner (we're not sure what exactly we're going to use it for, Hot Toddies? Gluewein? we'll figure it out I'm sure).  I think it's totally awesomely random!

The bottom is perfect for for alcohols, glasses, etc.  The top is great for various other accessories.  We have some tins that have matches, cards, tea, etc in them.

Overall this is one of the best thrift finds ever!  If you find one while you're out and about you should most definitely pick it up!  You will not regret it!.

So now you're wondering what I'm thankful for, yeah (that is of course besides my bar cart :)).  Here's this week's list.

I am thankful for the ability to be at camp taking care of amazing kids.

I am thankful for a community that supports me in my efforts to "change the world" (and of course I support them as well).

I am thankful for the summer, for the fun times that have come out of it.

I am thankful for the roof over my head.

I am thankful for the joy in my life.



Don't forget to link up what you're thankful for on A Complete Waste of Makeup!
