(Trigger warning:  though this entry is generally light-hearted, I do talk about my attempted suicide as a teenager.)

I think we've established by now that I am an utter shoe slut, and proud of it.  I loves me my shoes.  I bought a couple of pairs recently that are absolutely darling:

Day 2 of

SNOW DAY!!!!!!

I *heart* the Federal Government's snow policy.

Mind you, I'd be working from home tomorrow anyway - the plow that was supposed to clear our parking lot has been in a ditch off the highway for the past two days, and I can't get my car out of the parking space, despite Bob's best efforts with a snow shovel (something to do with ( Read more... )

So, considering all my new readers, it's definitely time for one of those incomprehensible and boring to everyone except the people who know me state-of-the-me posts, right?

( Peeeektures! )

Despite my chemical sensitivities, I love perfume and perfumed products.

I should clarify. SOME perfume. I can't walk into Bed Bath and Beyond or a Yankee Candle Store for love or money (at least, not without getting a massive migraine if I forget to breathe exclusively through my mouth), and I tend to steer clear of the candle aisle at my local ( Read more... )

No, I really don't know how I managed it, but I have large welts all over my legs that itch like a sonofabitch, and they all appeared a day or so ago.

I picked up the dress in London at an amazing vintage store near Waterloo station called Radio Days (way cheaper than anything you'll see around Portobello Market).  I went there on my birthday, then again the next time I was in England, and found this dress, ( Read more... )

This seems about right...Which creature of the night are you?

You are really an alien thing, aren't you? I can't describe you because you are beyond. We say "left field" and you say "Krn Grth Thchrang." You are the wild card of the bunch, the unknown quantity

Today we talk about credit cards.

( In which I use the D word. A lot. )

Holiday Faire went very well for me - apparently, necklaces are popular. I didn't sell many bracelets (one, I think), and Bob suggested repurposing them as necklaces. Sounds like a good idea to me.

It was lovely to see everyone, and the Vortex of Evil block was the most awesome fun, especially since we had room in the middle to keep our stuff safe ( Read more... )
