Going Shopping

Just before Christmas, I went back to the corporate world.

I traded my tool belt for a territory...

 ...and my steel toed Brahma Boots for pumps.

These are nowhere near as comfortable, let me tell you.

 So today, I'll be sporting these.

Why, what do you wear to clean the house?

I'm taking advantage of everyone being out to purge 

Chateau Inferno before the Minions descend for Spring Break.

I get to cook enormous amounts of food again!

I hope I remember how.

I'll also be trying to keep Seamus, the new puppy,

from eating the ears off my zebras.

So...

Going to Publix and Walmart.

BRB.

If not back, avenge death.

(Zebra slippers available at Walmart, $5.

I promise to put on real shoes when I go.)

Going Shopping...and an Announcement!

Pssssssssssssssst...

I'm done with the condo interior Tuesday!

That's right.

The Big Reveal is right around the corner!

I've been purposely keeping wide shots from you to preserve the surprise.

In the meantime, this young woman is home for the weekend:

She does look a little different these days, huh?

 And her style is a tad less, uh, revealing.

 In fact, good luck catching her in a bathing suit these days.

Her love of all things feline has never wavered however.

Yes, the college geek will be home!

Laundry in tow, mind you.

And we're going to do a whirlwind tour of our favorite inspiration spots.

This can only mean one thing, Besties...

 It's time for a week of Autumn Inspiration!

 And we all know what THAT leads to...

Another Life in Rehab Great Glitzy Hack off!

Your chance to show off your stuff, direct the thousands dozens

of LIR readers over to your place, and pick up some great new tutorials

It's fun!

It's weird!

So grab the button and warn your friends...

IT'S COMING!

Are you in?
What are you waiting for???

Get your shoes on!

So...

Going to Home Goods, West Elm, Pottery Barn,

Crate and Barrel, Williams Sonoma,

And Z Gallerie!

BRB.

If not back, avenge death.

I have a feeling camping at the condo is starting to wear on my neglected 

Feline Overlords and The Pack.

 Being the Mistress of Self-Reinvention is a full time job, but so is Mom

and Zookeeper.

 So...

Taking the damned day off.

BRB.

If not back, avenge death.

Going Shopping...In Storage

Morning, Besties!

 It's time to unpack!

 I know some of you were...skeptical...of my paint colors.

Yep, they're bright.

The Pato Locos (Spanish for "Crazy Ducks"...Florida, you know.)

were even dismayed.

 However, I wanted to shake that Virginia Belle out of

her mustard/brick red/brown comfort zone.

We'd been shopping several times, and as I started unpacking her things,

my neon sensibilities didn't seem so far fetched anymore.

Like when I found her bath linens.

 And got her bath rug out.

 How's that for dead on?

And she thinks I don't pay attention.

Yep, we match.

Her existing artwork blends with the blue hues perfectly.

Her bedroom color?

Could it be more in synch?

 Excuse me, but I have a lot of cleaning to do!

So...

Unpacking Mom's crap.
BRB. 
If not back, avenge death.

The day has come.

Today, Savannah Helene Pritchard-Torres moves into her dorm.

 Yep, my baby is now an 18 year old junior.

And the first one to leave home.

Wanna see the shopping results?

So...

Headed for college.

BRB.

If not back, avenge death.

Not many people know, but I have an English degree.

 J actually wanted to be a writer.

 50 years ago, this would have meant that anything I penned would be

scrutinized, judged, and probably rejected, never seeing the light of day

or being presented to the public.

Now, through the miracle of the internet, 1000 people a day are subjected to my

drivel and are horrified by it so profoundly that comments elude them.

It's okay; I get it, I do.

I'm not going shopping today.

I'm going back to the house to paint trim, set nails, and putty holes.

You've watched me do this already.

Not one of you needs to see this again.

So instead, I'd like to inflate your desktop files with some of

my favorite memes, most of which stick to a literary theme.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Hence my previous boring rant; please see above.

Also see: smug.

Going to go inhale paint.

BRB.

If not back, avenge death.
