Snowy Afternoons and the Smell of Old Records

Today I woke up to see a full fledged blizzard outside. Last week I got a sunburn from lying outside in my bathing suit! Calgary weather can be just ridiculous sometimes! I got a call from my best friend asking if I could drive out to rescue her and drive her to work since her windshield wipers crapped out. Needless to say, I put on my trusty monkey toque and winter jacket and drove out there in all my knight in shining armour-ness. She owes me big time. After my heroic rescue, I decided that, since I was already out and about in the dreadful weather, I would go to the magnificent store 'Where on Earth Did You Get That'. This store, if you have not heard of it, is a beast of an antique store. It is also one of my favourite stores. I could literally spend hours in it and spend a zillion dollars. Seriously, I never walk out of it without my wallet drained and a few more treasures in my hands. Today I bought some records (two Pink Floyd albums for my friend and a Buddy Holly collection) and an adorable vintage hand purse. Once again I am very happy with what I have left that store with. I did spot an old bracelet that I am now dying to buy (It even comes with a beautiful vintage case) and will probably cave in and buy it soon... Hopefully not! I need to save my money! I have a serious issue with saving. I just want everything! bleh. Maybe I can convince somebody to get it for me! :)
