Was so happy to sleep in this morning. My days off are few and too far in between, and it seems like I am entering into another fibromyalgia flare-up again. &^%$#. Keith and I went antiquing, and had a great morning together, and I picked up a few things for our home.

Visited my two favorite antique stores, and was pleasantly suprised to see that Old Things has a new room with a Christmas theme. Not necessarily antique items, but a cute concept and becoming popular as I am seeing a number of antique stores with a Christmas theme section. Was nice to visit with the owner, Sharmaine and talk for a few minutes, and hoping she may be able to assist me in finding pieces to a new collection that I am searching for.

In Search Of: This set is made by Johnson Brothers, and obviously is going to be difficult to find…but I am determined to have this set, and looking forward to adding them to a china hutch.

My sister showed up the other night and we tackled the diningroom together, and she left with a van full of stuff. I have decided to begin selling a majority of my scrapbook/rubberstamp supplies, and have decided to begin with some big pieces.

FOR SALE:

• Antique Library Card Catalog Cabinet. $900.00. Came from a college in Allenstown, PA. One solid, very heavy piece, 60 drawers total, and two pull out surfaces.
• 1938 Vintage Dress Form. $125.00.
• SOLD Martha Stewart Island. $100.00. This was used lovingly in my scrapbook studio, and unfortunately does have a few areas of paint on the wood surface, which does not affect the appearance.

Yesterday was the last day of my class, Managing a Continuum of Care for Positive Patient Outcomes. I am looking forward to my final grade, and excited to have a break. My next class does not begin until September 6th. I have been loading up my Kindle over the past few months, and I am looking forward to doing some fun/no thinking necessary reading.

New books that I’ve added to my Kindle; When I Lay My Isaac Down, Germs, Genes, & Civilization, One Thousand Gifts, Mortal Evidence: The Forensics Behind Nine Shocking Cases, Killing Time, The Stoning of Soraya M., Read This Before Our Next Meeting, and Code Blue.

My husband, and oldest son are flying out to North Carolina in the morning so they can empty the storage unit containing all of my daughters belongs and drive back in the u-haul. Wish I could have done the trip, but difficult to get time off from work, and right now I am aiming for a trip to Wisconsin in October so I have to be careful with my vacation time.

Well friends, for here I am going to close so I can grab my Kindle and begin some reading. Here’s to a wonderful week ahead of us! Until next time…
