snow smarts, lonny and that bitch jillian michaels..

we are on day 3 of no school due to snow and ice in georgia. 

it doesn't help that the entire state of georgia has 11 snow plows to work through this shit.

that's just not snow smarts.

just like new orleans didn't practice hurricane smarts a few years ago. 

if it can happen it will happen.

so buy some more fucking snow plows georgia!

 

can i just say that if mom's were in charge of the universe there would never be a shortage of snowplows.

 

so.. thanks non- mom dummies.

 

i have had -10 hours on my computer while my child has had +72 hours.

i tried to take advantage of the down time by working out with jillian michaels.

he she is scary.

 

i am pretty sure this is an early picture of her:

which makes her mad to think about.

so seeing your fat makes her murderish.

 

i work out 4-5 days a week. so i am no stranger to exercise.

but every time i do what this woman tells me to 

there is major body trauma.

so now i feel like i was in a car accident.

 

 

thank god for lonny.

you came just in time yesterday.

i poured a glass of wine and stuck my foot in fiona's behind and told her to get the F out.

not really.

(no really!)

here's what i liked:

simple, thoughtful, layered,  not over-decorated.

 

tolix, a view, boxwoods and my most favorite bit- the lavender lilacs with the yellow dish.  probably a happy accident.

 

serge, view, california..

 

cozy and collected.  but not cluttered. 

(after looking at this image again, i realized i would like it better wo all the fornasetti. not a big fan of it.)

 

no lucite. no parsons. no gallery art.  WIN!

 

surprised how well all of this works together. 

 

love. everything. 

 

mirrors=smart

LOVE the pendant.

 

happy, comfy, pretty.  

 

 

yeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssss!!!!

the bed the bed the bed the bed!

 

 

perfect. 

wouldn't change a thing.

 

lonny thoughts you?

 

bizness as usual

 it seems weird to just show awesome rooms to you after i was near oprah status this weekend.

 

i wish i could tell you that they signed me up right after they saw my sparkle charms.

 


 

and i wore sequins so i was for real sparkle charming.

but they didn't.

here's what they did tell me... 

 

 

i did great.

 

 

that despite the whirlwind last few days, the next few months would be quiet..

 

 

as in, don't freak out if 2 months go by and you haven't heard a word...

 

 

they also told me i needed to be discreet from here on out and that i couldn't divulge what went down yesterday or the casting process.

 

sad for you all.

 

but i have a feeling..a good one. 

i have also realized that i could be on national tv looking like a great big asshole with big boobs and no real design experience.  

and i have also realized that i could be leaving my sweet fi for 2 months.

wrap your head around that one for a minute moms...

yeah...not a fun thought at all. 

anyway..as you can imagine i am waffling somewhere around super excitement and bone chilling terror.

but i don't mind the wait.

not at all.

in fact, i am going to use this time to really focus on the what if..

what if i am on this show?

well then i want to be 100 percent certain that i can do anything they throw my way.

don't get me wrong, i won't be crafting shit out of orange rinds or toilet paper.

i am just going to focus on MY thing..

combining old and new..

mixing high and low..

and just generally putting shit together in a new and awesome way.

 

so we can stop talking about it now.

we can get back to pretty rooms and housewives.

 

thanks again for all of your support and well wishes.

you guys will be the first to know anything that happens.

i promise you that.

 

now hire me so i can practice.

let the crafting commence...

 

 

contemplating my plan of being as awesome as i possibly can in as little time as possible..

 

after 6.5 hours of waiting,

i went into a room with 2 tables.

each table had a nice person sitting behind it.

i sat at one of the tables, talked to the nice person about things.

APPROVED!

i go on to the next round tomorrow.

this is the camera round.

there will be a demonstration on camera.

and lots of personality shimmer and maybe dancing. 

 

tired.

but happy.

 

when words aren't enough..

i am floored at the number of comments left on my behalf over the last few days.

and all of them positive.

like real positive.

this blog had almost 7,000 hits yesterday.

that is a freakshow number.

i don't want to say too much, bc frankly, i can't think of the right words.

it's weird saying thank you on a blog anyway..

bc it just doesn't ever sound sincere.

 

i don't want to be funny here, or silly..

i just want to say i am....high.

that's the best way to describe this feeling.

and who doesn't like to feel high?

 

in a few hours i am going to pick up my best girl molly and we are heading out to kick candice in the crotch!

(and i mean that in a loving blow her socks off way..)

video tape of experience to follow.

 

another peek:

 

real love,

 

put your coffee down..

 

in the mail this morning...

 

Newell a.k.a. Newt (Unregistered) commented on exhausted but excited:

 Hey Jenny, Yes, it's me. Good luck with the audition. I think you've got a great chance/opportunity. The picture you shot for your portfolio looks really good. You've picked up on some photography tricks—like turn off the flash! It makes all the difference in how room photos look. I think your mood boards are also great to include...and of course samplings of MFAMB. Serious, I want to see you on this show! You'll add much needed spice.

 

 

pants=pooped.

 

thanks newell.

you are sparkley. 

 

 

 

and another sneak peek:

t-minus 24 hours...
