Farewell Alabama!

Pretty much have everything moved! Well except for little bro’s car jam packed with a load-oh and my town house containing a small trailer load, so I guess there’s more work to be done!! I’m hoping to get family help and not be semi-solo anymore driving back and forth has taken a toll on the checkbook. 

My last couple days in Tuscaloosa I spent time alone in the house organizing my crap-o-la and took some photos////

Sadly MiMi couldn’t come to the city since she is a feral cat and needs the outdoors, but once KJO is back from New Hampshire Miss Kitty will have a caregiver.

Bought this rocking chair (Missoni look-a-like!) from the 450 Mile Yard Sale in Gadsden, AL for 10 bucks and sold it at my yard sale to some pals for 8 bucks. Enjoyed it for two years and now it’s with new folks seeing new things. For three or so nights a week ago I stayed by myself at the townhouse in Ttown and only had one chair: the rockin one above. I slept on a full mattress placed on the ground with two flat sheets and small fan aimed right on my sleeping area. It was nice to have a couple last days with my home, I tend to get sentimental when leaving a former homestead. Grits, Miss Kitty and I hung out and enjoyed the peacefulness of small town life for a little longer//

In the midst of packing my USB cord went missing and another one is on the way, lots of photos trapped on the camera and coming soon!! Tomorrow I have an interview with Anthropologie @ the Lenox and am super excited, don’t want to get my hopes up but I am crossing the fingers!

A Special Thanks//

See I think I’m really unlucky (my last trip to a casino, via St. Louis, I lost $35.00 in minutes//on .25-.50 machines) so for this to happen put the biggest smile on my face! It’s going over my swimsuit while hanging around the lake-no doubt!
Here’s a couple photos found on my camera from a weekend or two ago after a night at Rockies. You could never guess what has me giggling so much, nor will I tell, but I will say my boyfriend makes me smile real hard sometimes.

Kinda have some fabulous news to share with you all about the yard sale I had YESTERDAY and THIS morning, both starting around 7:00am. BUT I really want to add the photos and tell the story behind the successful sales Kristie Jo, Teresa, Caty Ann, & myself had when we finally decided to let go of some things. mostly my crap, but they had some goodies too. Of course we each traded with one another, bought and sold-ending up with new little treasures! Seeing as how I’m utterly pooped from a long day of baking in the sun & wheelin-n-dealin I will say:
Good night to all!
b4 I go 4real//

Mischa Monday and More!

don’t worry this won’t be a weekly occurance (Mischa Monday, that is) but I’ve had these photos on my desktop for over a week and had to share them with everyone. One reason is because of her style and how it’s ever changing, she wears exactly what she feels like wearing and doesn’t so much follow trends-rather creates them. Also the fact that if I had designers wishing to dress me from head to toe I would dress exactly like her..she mixes vintage with nearly all her outfits and her twists on ‘the norm’ are always fantastic!

Speaking of, I am kinda upset about this line, called H&M here at Atlantic Station and they had already shipped all the women’s clothing to NYC, and there was a little bit of the men’s still remaining. total bummer.

Hope everyone’s week and new month is starting off right!! Mine sure is!! Arrived home from the beach yesterday to a new friend, a ten week old bob tail grey kitten with long fur. eeeE! Haven’t stopped playing with him since!! His family was dropped off somewhere and picked up by the human society here in ATL and only had a couple of days before “no longer being available.” Dusty jumped on the opportunity and brought home the little guy a couple of days ago sort :) of surprising me when I got home.  He’s a whiny little man but also a whole lot of entertainment-the hardwood floors make it difficult for his furry paws to stay grounded, too funny! 
Don’t know about the state or country your in but here it’s HOT, a whopping 90 degrees today with a medium smog alert-yikes! I will be spending most of the day inside applying for jobs &&& organizing more crap I brought and unloaded from the car that must be crammed somewhere. it’s going to be a grand day…but listening to Jamiroquai ALL DAY will help everything be more pleasant.
