I'm wide awake, probably because of all the diet coke and iced tea I've had today. Sigh. Caffeine is really my drug of choice though, I get a LOT more accomplished with it than I do without it.
Well, tonight my projects included sitting with Florence to put butterfly stickers on pink paper bags...(we are giving them to her birthday party guests to take home, with a photo of her in a frame, and a few little trinkets and candy. She is so "old school" about it though, "Won't they think I'm full of myself for giving them a photo of myself?" I said, "No, it's a nice thing to give people so they can take it home and have great memories of the party, while they think of you." (I WANTED to say, "This may be the last time they ever see you alive my dear, so let them have a photo to remember you by.".....but I didn't say that.....)
Ahem. Sometimes I am so crude, even I cringe.
Anyway, so the next project I worked on is very anal-retentive...you might get a smirk out of it though, so what the heck, I'll tell ya. First, you should know that I am a die-hard addict when it comes to Freecycle.org. I have so much free stuff in my house, it's almost ridiculous. I mean, thousands of dollars worth of furniture!! For instance, I just got my mom a roll top desk---a small one, but in perfect condition---for FREE. I got her entire bedroom set (very heavy solid wood, oak I believe) that had a full sized bed, 2 night stand tables, a chifferobe, and a long dresser with mirror....all for FREE. Plus, I got a small hutch for my dining room, and a buffet cabinet (credenza). We've gotten drywall sheets, too!
The biggest score I have received so far from Freecycle: a 4 poster cherry wood queen sized bed with 4 drawers underneath it, for FREE. Yeah. That bed is in our guest room now. So, I am the queen of Freecycle around here, and even though you're filthy rich, you should check it out just for shits and giggles sometime--you can really get some cool stuff!! (My sister loves Tori Amos, for example, and somebody wanted to get rid of 2 Tori Amos tour books, an 8x10 photo of her, and two necklaces from her concerts, so I snagged 'em for her birthday gift in September)!! Ya just gotta love that damned web site.
So, my point was, I'm addicted to Freecycle, so I put a "wanted" notice up to get as many shoe boxes as I possibly could. I ended up with more than 50 boxes total, so now I am taking a photo of every pair of shoes that I own, and taping the photo to the outside of the box, and stacking them in my closet. I know, weird, huh? I saw that idea in a home decor magazine. Of course, they used fancy plastic boxes with lids that probably cost a bunch of cash, but mine were FREE dammit!! You can't beat FREE with a stick, as far as I'm concerned.
Well, because I've been obsessed with my shoes tonight, I thought I might share a few photos of my favorite pairs, just to give you some idea of what I like to wear when I get all dressed up...
And finally,
You probably think I spend a million bucks on shoes every year, but you're INCORRECT Sir. Not on your life. Come on, didn't I just tell you I'm the QUEEN of "Free?" These weren't necessarily "free," of course, but THRIFT STORES are also something I happen to be addicted to. I only buy the NEWER shoes, that still have tags on them from department stores though. I've had some of these for years, however, so they might seem a bit "out-dated" to all the fancy pants ladies in California that you're used to being around, but to me, they are AWESOME.
I actually got RID of about 25 pairs of shoes recently...it wasn't easy...but I used to have 4 and 5 inch heels, that I often wore to work when I was a professional career woman in Washington DC. But alas, those days are over, and I'm now a frumpy east coast housewife. I don't get to wear heels much anymore, but I still like to from time to time, especially at dungeon events and such.
But, at the moment, this frumpy east coast housewife is sitting here typing to you while wearing my "Happy Bunny" pink house slippers. SO SEXY, BABYYYY!!! (not). I do like Happy Bunny stuff, though, it fits my sarcastic personality perfectly. Now, if that's not enough to get you all hot and bothered, I also own 2 pair of BETTY BOOP house slippers!! I know!! You just LOVE Betty Boop, don't you?! It is a prerequisite if you wanna get to know my hubby!! (Pete collects Betty Boop stuff...you should see our family room... all of his Boops are strewn around the place, and the decor is black, white, silver and red...very cool! Too bad the damned carpet is GREEN. BLEAH).
Ah well, so there ya go, some of my most favorite pairs of sexy shoes in my closet. I can tell you're THRILLED TO THE BONE.
Well, on that note...(the bone, not so much the thrilled part), I will go for now. Happy dreams, and OH, I almost forgot!! There was a blurb on Facebook earlier about Journey giving away tickets to the Today show in New York City this coming Friday to anyone who wants them...I nearly fainted...I mean, WTF?! They have to BRIBE people to come SEE THEM now?! That just blew me away.
Of course, (you have to ASK)? I sent an email to see if they would send me tickets, what the hell, but COME ON GUYS, that's a bit on the pathetic side, don't you think? "We can't get people to the Today show, because it is LAME AS HELL, ONLY OLD FARTS WHO GET UP AT THE CRACK OF DAWN WATCH THAT SHIT, so come on fellas, please, come see us...we'll give you free tickets!!" It's like they are begging people to show up!! Good Lord. I truly do NOT expect to get the tickets, however. It's 6 hours away from here, first of all, and I forgot that I am going to the Mayhem Festival on Friday with Pete anyway! heehee (I am a stinker).
Yeah babyyyyyy I'm going to see Disturbed (LOVE THEM), Godsmack (DITTO), and Megadeath (Eh, take 'em or leave 'em). But it's gonna be sweet, and I love going just to bang my head around awhile with all those young 20-something whipper-snappers. I can still do that, ya know, I'm only 43....I do get a hell of a headache and neck cramp now, but I'm still gonna headbang until it comes loose and falls off, dammit. I'm too YOUNG to be OLD!! I plan on wearing my tank top that says, "Does this cock make my throat look fat?" on it.....let's see how many of those 20-something's top THAT one.
Alright sweet cheeks, I'm gonna go give Pete his thrice-weekly BJ, (sometimes 4), and then hit the hay. Oh the drudgery of being a frumpy east coast housewife. *with sexy shoes* WINK!!
Love, Rebecca
