Friendship and loyalty is a big thing for me, but I’m a hard person to get to know. I realize this. It’s a combination of things that make it so difficult for me to let people in and for people to want to be let in. Most people don’t want invest the time or make assumptions of a first impression and never want to delve further. I don’t really blame them because first impressions are a huge deal. I am quite introverted so I am not really great at small talk, but I listen really well. I find that I usually avoid joining a conversation until I have something important to add which people read as being stuck up. I also have a Resting Bitch Face and that doesn’t help my cause much either. Continue Reading →
See if you can spot the Chipmunk/Chipmunks in each of these photos. They are inseparable. God help us if he goes missing because we have had a close call and it was a nightmare. (This photo montage applies to number 2 below) Continue Reading →
What have I been doing for the past few days? Well, for the last month I have hounded Roo to get her and Merle’s bedroom clean. They share a room but the really, really messy one is Roo. She is the type of person who pulls things out without putting away what she was using/wearing first. No matter how many times I sent her to her room to clean it kept getting progressively worse. She would go in for 3 hours and she would manage to fold two shirts. Continue Reading →
Every night when I put my youngest to bed she insists that I sit and snuggle her while she sleeps. This is mandatory. When we don’t she doesn’t settle down, is in and out of bed every five minutes, and “has to pee” more times during those few hours than she does during the whole day added together. So we snuggle as a bonding moment and to keep me sane. Usually while snuggling I either read or scan Pinterest on my iPad. Last night while I was looking at Pinterest I came across a pin on How to Arrange a Coffee Table in 4 Steps.
This week is rent week. Normally that means that finances are just slightly tight during that week but this month Tom had last week off entirely while in between shows, so he doesn’t get a pay check this week. That means I had $30 for groceries which sucks balls. Continue Reading →
A few posts back I talked about my intention of building myself a capsule wardrobe. Since I don’t have a lot of extra disposable income I can’t rebuild my wardrobe from scratch like they do on What Not to Wear. I always secretly hoped that I would get nominated for the show (even though I didn’t dress bad) just so I could get Stacey and Clinton to build me a wardrobe. Since I can’t build from scratch I have to build from what I already own which is going to be a huge step by step process.
My first step was to purge my clothes. I wish that I had a group of friends like in the Sex in the City movie where Carrie goes through her closet and tries on all of her clothes and the girls yay or nay them so she can get rid of things before moving in with Big. I need that kind of help. I had a lot of things hanging in there that haven’t been worn in a long while. Some of it even years. I tend to hold on to things because I think that they may come back in style in a few years. I have learned the hard way that they tend to. For example I had an awesome pair of red espadrilles that I bought years ago. I pitched them about 4 years ago and now I see them all over the place. It figures. I managed to purge so much stuff this time around. I was super cut-throat and managed to get rid of A LOT. This was my closet before.
