Channeling My Inner Movie/Television/Theater/Book Critic...

Last night, I decided to watch a new television show from beginning to end, giving an ongoing critique on Facebook.  I'm pretty sure it annoyed some people, but I enjoyed it.  I won't provide that much detail here, but I have to say that as a whole, we are very undemanding with what we expect from the networks.  Of course this is just my opinion, but it's also my blog, so allow me to vent: the continually declining need for talent in order to become famous is appalling.  Okay, that's all I have to say on the subject--for now.

I'm feeling a little bit of thrift withdrawal after the long weekend, but I am committed to holding it together until Saturday.  Union Street Gallery, http://www.unionstreetgallery.org/will be hosting it's annual garage sale/vintage clothing sale fundraiser.  Every year they have an amazing sale with so much vintage clothing, accessories and home decor that it keeps me coming back.  The gallery is housed in the old Elks' Lodge, built in 1927.  It's on Otto Boulevard in Chicago Heights, but started out on Union Street--thus the name.  Check them out online and come out to this fantastic sale.  If you love vintage, you won't be disappointed however there are plenty of other things to buy as well.  And it is an art gallery of course, so there's visual as well as vintage stimulation.  It's a fun event for a great cause.

Note to self, and to all of you who are self-employed:  Don't underestimate the value of your work or your time or any combination of the two.  This comes to mind as I head out the door to put a few more hours into getting this townhouse emptied and cleaned.  I'm not complaining though because I love the flexibility.  Now for some consistency.  I think that's my mantra for today:  flexibility and consistency.  I have one, but I need the other.

Have a great day and thanks for reading!
