sitting pretty
First skirts, then chairs.
I love skirts, but I cannot sit gracefully in them. I'm not sure where I was supposed to learn to sit all pretty-like, but no one ever taught me. However, when I was at least 16, I learned from the Princess Diaries (oh, just stop laughing now!) that ladies cross their legs at the ankle when seated in a dress or skirt. I do that on the subway usually, but at work I'm sitting here with one ankle propped under the junk in my trunk as if I were wearing jeans. And while I just acknowledged that I'm sitting like a whorebag and corrected it, give me less than 10 minutes and I will go back to my natural position.
I'm going to redecorate my living room. My currently scheme (if you can call the two throw pillows and a rug a scheme) is very winter. So I purchased two more throw pillows and a new rug and I'm going to make it summery and light. I found a chair at Jennifer Convertibles that will fulfill the new summery/light requirment wonderfully, but then I would have to commit to that indefinitely. And, well, isn't that terrifying come November when I want another change. I have a personal zero tolerance policy for slipcovers, too. I hope I don't offend anyone I like by saying that.
Oh, did anyone else know that bookshelves can cost, like $500?! I tried to buy one from this adorable mom and pop shop I like in Astoria and the only one they had in the color that I need was $499! Granted, it was very nice and enormous, but do people REALLY spend $499 on a bookshelf? Like, ever? Even Bill Gates?
