Goings-on

My life has been absolutely RIDICULOUS recently. I'm homeless (moving in three weeks to Chicago for school, still don't have an apartment), slammed with work for my shop, part of a group of lovely ladies who are putting together a zine, trying to find a job, and putting together a monthly newsletter for my fabulous readers. I feel like there isn't any time to breathe. Also, I love it (minus the being homeless thing).

If you're interested in receiving the monthly newsletter let me know! Email me at SundayMorningSugar@yahoo.com and I'll put you on the list. Again, it will feature information that is not on the blog so it won't be redundant. It's a great alternative for you if you don't have time to read the blog but still want some Sugar. Also, Justine did a great job with the layout so it's pretty adorable (if I do say so myself).

I'm sure most of you have heard about the post from Biscuit by now. Let me preface this by saying I thought her list of Pet Peeves was hilarious and even though I am guilty of a few line items, I could still find the humor in it. I've been promising to host a giveaway when I hit one hundred followers and her pet peeve about crappy giveaways has me thinking. I thought that since this giveaway is BECAUSE of my followers, that I would give you a chance to contribute. What would you like to see in my triple digit giveaway? I'm open to any and all suggestions and I want it to be a prize that you would actually want to win so let me know.

This post has been mostly informational, I apologize. I just feel like I had so much to tell you and I really didn't want to cram it onto another post. To round things out, I decided to share some pictures that my older brother and I took last night. He left for school today and before he left he decided it was necessary to "bond".

Prescott!!!

So on Saturday I took a desperately needed break from life to go on a day trip with one of my oldest friends...

Since middle school babyyy!!

(that picture is from high school, my freshman year, but you get the jist...Also, she's going to actually kill me for posting that picture)
Anyways, we took a day to visit Prescott, Arizona.

One of my favorite things about this lovely state in which I grew up is that with a quick drive you can be somewhere COMPLETELY different. We hopped in my car around 10 in the morning (at 105 degrees) and two hours later were bundled up in Prescott enjoying the brisk weather and beautiful scenery (65 degrees).
We snagged some lunch at a yummy burger restaurant when we got there because we were STARVING. I'm shocked that neither of us thought to throw some snacks in the car for the drive. What kind of a road trip doesn't involve snacking!?

After lunch, we looked through about a BILLION antique stores. There are soooo many antique stores in the town square. You could get lost in them for hours.

This guy was my absolute favorite find of the day. A KNITTING SHEEP! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! I laughed so hard and fell in love. I didn't buy him because Kristina told me it was "really really creepy", so I settled for snapping a few photos.

We finished off our day (really it was just the afternoon) with taking about a jillion pictures in the park (I'll spare you the majority of them). It was a lot of fun and oh so beautiful! If small towns didn't make me feel trapped, I would love to live there someday!





And the day wouldn't have been complete without a chai latte from a local coffee place. (verdict: tasted pretty good, TINY portion for the price)

Such a fun day!!

In other news, I'm part of a group of ladies that is putting together a crafty little zine and I'm sooo excited about it. If you're interested in subscribing, stay posted! More information will be available really soon
