a couple of some things

sorry for the light posting this week. 

i've been arting and farting. 

seriously though, i've been painting a lot and had a shitstain of a cold. 

which has kept me both busy and under motivated. 

 

i have been working on a bunch of new irises for my shop. big and small. 

look for those to drop sometime early next week.

 

some things have caught my eye this week worth sharing....

i seriously missed the mark with fiona's room. 

does anyone have a pretty but practical solution for masses of lego friends (like every single one in the collection)?

 

want everything in the balmain for h&m collection. 

starting with this jacket. 

take a peek here if you haven't already.

fair warning. these aren't your usual h&m prices.

but they aren't typical balmain prices either. 

 

how cute are these jeans?

you- "very."

 

do yourself a favor and buy these blushes.

i started with peaceful (on the bottom) and recently added modesty (top).

if you only pick one go with peaceful.

it is very subtle but gives the most amazing glow ever. 

i use it very liberally. 

 

have you ever visited lucky scent?

you can buy samples of perfume for 5 bucks. 

i don't have a signature scent so loads of samples is the way to go for me. 

i can choose according to mood. 

 

you guys know i am a tracy anderson lifer...

i came across this blog post a few days ago...

it's every TA muscular structure workout ever created. 

they are in order from longest to shortest. 

i want to hug this person. 

YOU'RE WELCOME!

 

have a gorgeous weekend. 

 

bye. 

in the dead of night

these things....

not for nothing but-

i would put those cobras under that dome and it would take pride of place on my halloween altar. 

those shoes and that hat would be part of my halloween costume. 

that gypsy lady would go in my bathroom and guide me through difficult toilet times. 

i would wear that donald robertson sweatshirt when i needed extra protection from assholes at whole foods (the jerks who walk in through the out door and the dicks who take up the whole aisle with their cart)

 

thanks for the love yesterday. 

really warmed my heart. 

love you guys.

just a little update on the home front before i go...

nicolas never returned and we are 99.999% sure that he won't.

i know many of you told your tales of cats returning home after several days, and i thank you for the encouraging hope, but we feel this isn't a possibility for nicolas. in fact we pretty much knew in our hearts that it wasn't after the first 24-48 hours. 

i have been through the ringer emotionally because not knowing is kind of the worst.

i even contacted a psychic. (don't do that. it's really stupid and lame. not to mention a waste of money. it actually made my worry worse.)

we have made peace with the fact that he is gone. i miss him every second and i will always miss him. i loved him more than any animal i've ever had. i loved him more than most people. 

he was the gentlest, smartest, sweetest and coolest cat i've ever known. and i have known a bunch of cats.  

love you and miss you big boy.
