Well, Thursday was the last day I worked before getting a rare Friday and Saturday off. Then on Sunday I didn't go in until evening and only worked 6 hours and I am off again today. Feels like a mini vacation. Thursday I got to sit in my current dream car that I have been wanting. A red Dodge Challenger. This was a 2012. I am even more in love with it now that I sat in it. I told I want to trade cards in about another year so he has that long to decide to sell me this one. He did tell me to come by and take it for a test drive any time I wanted to. I may just do that.
Friday, I woke up to pouring down rain and an all day forecast of rain. But I was so tired of being at home or work and going nowhere recently, that I decided to spend my rainy day antiquing. It was a great idea. Our church is having a tea cup exchange soon so I found a cute little tea cup and saucer at at an amazing price.
I have been wanting a deep dish pie pan. I found a vintage Pyrex one for $4. Oh yes, it came home with me.
I also scored 2 new pieces of Pyrex in my favorite Town and Country pattern. Normally a casserole dish like the one on the right goes for $25-30 in an antique store. I got both of these pieces for less than $20. It was a great deal.
This is one of my dream sets that has been on my wishlist about 5 or 6 years. The only time I have ever seen a complete set in mint condition like this was for $225 which was way too high. But this lady had her's priced for $115. Not a crack or a chip in them. No stains. Perfect. But this was not a week I could budget spending that much. I was so sick at heart because I have wanted this set for so long. Then the lady said the magic word....layaway. So I put it on layaway and am going to go back and get it the first week of May. Happy dance!!
When I got done with my wonderful day antiquing, I went home and the skies cleared up and we had a beautiful rainbow.
Saturday morning I got up and made a cherry pie. Only the second pie I ever made. The edges don't look the best but overall it looked pretty good for my limited pie experiences.
My daughter and I went and did a little shopping Saturday and I found me a cute new top that I just fell in love with. It was on sale so I snatched it up. Now if it will just get warm enough to wear it.
When we were on our way home, a friend of mine sent me a message and wanted to know if I wanted to go to the shooting range with him. So once I got home and put everything away, we went. I had never been to a shooting range. We had a blast. Lots of fun and lots of laughter. I did get to shoot at a weird target. He shot some at this one as well, but I got some really good hits considering I have only shot a 410 and a 22 back when I was about 17 or 18. We were shooting with a AR15. That's what I get for going with a military man to a shooting range.
Sunday morning Sunrise Service was amazing. Lots of beautiful music and a great view of the sun coming up in the East. I took this right before the service started. By the time we were finished it was completely up and beautiful but I forgot to get another picture.
Later when we got to church, they had set up donuts and coffee. I wanted a donut so bad, but I have lost three pounds this week by watching my sweets and going 100% free of carbonated drinks. So I was strong and didn't eat any.
Got a good picture of Shelby (L) and her best friend Megan. It being Easter they brought their ever presents friends with them. Bunny and Lammy come to church with them every Easter.
I worked Sunday night but was off again on Monday. I didn't do anything but hang out at the house. No laundry to do. No house to clean. Just me and relaxation. I took some time to just pamper myself. I spent a couple of hours outside and got some sun and good rest.
