Smell Ya' Later

So, hey.  I'm taking a little break.

I've got a lot going on right now, but don't worry -- all of it's good! The only bad thing is that I feel guilty about not blogging. I know, that sounds egomaniacal because I'm assuming that anyone gives a shit, except that I know a few of you actually do enjoy reading what I write here*.

To you, I say, I appreciate you!  It is you who I am telling that I'm going to be gone for a few months, so please don't file a missing persons report.  In fact, don't worry at all, because Ah'll be back, in some form... like Obi Wan Kanobi or Gandalf or some such shizz.

Allow me to break this mofo down.

The other night as I was looking for a better job, as I do pretty much 24/7, I came across this weird but oddly "helpful" video. It's got a kind of Japanese, animatronic feel, but also with completely incongruous old-timey music. Whatev -- it's very strange. Production value aside, it struck a chord with me.

And they're so perky!

I'm sure you can all see what I'm getting at here. I'm job hunting, yo. So I can't be talking about accidentally getting Brazilian bikini waxes or barfing into my handbag.  And so forth.

Yadda yadda yadda, I might start a new blog; I haven't decided.  I can't see myself not blogging at all, because I love to write and I've made such good friends through it.  I just think the OOBH's day might have come and gone.  I've noticed many of my old blog friends have slowed down with their postings lately too, and I totally get it.  We're all moving on.  We're tired of the same old jokes. Been there/done that.  There are only so many times that one can shout "That's what she said" or "Not that there's anything wrong with that," right?

 
Maybe this is the PMS talking, I don't know.  All I know is that I'm putting on my big girl panties and getting myself a new goddamn job this year, no matter what.   I'm fed up with My Crap Job, my dears.  F-e-d to the U-P.  So I'm taking a Brillo pad to my online reputation, adding a little chlorine to my online writing samples, and I'm taking at least the summer off.

It's not goodbye, it's Smell Ya Later.

I'll be back after I get whatever new job and/or writing venture awaits me, and if you find yourself missing La Bev, feel free to find me on any number of the gazillion places where I still have an online persona, like LinkedIn, Oddee or Facebook.  I'll say yes if you want to be friends, I promise!

PS) The book (which is oddly on sale on Amazon even though it hasn't even been released yet) that I co-wrote is coming out this summer--be sure to scan the credits for your shout-out, my lovely BOOBHs!

* And some of you are just here because you happened to Google "ass bruise" or "Elvira in Spanx" and that's okay too.

Soda!

Proof that anything grouped together can look fabulous.  I guess it helps that these cans are pretty fabulous in their own right but I bet if you stacked, say, tinned tomatoes, you'd get a similar effect.

One item on it's own can get lost but group it with a theme and the ordinary becomes extraordinary.

My Studio

The extension plans for our house include an upstairs studio which has been earmarked for ME!!  It will be a long rectangle with a cathedral ceiling and is going to serve as my office/sewing room/TV room.  Since having kids we have had to do without an office and when you run your own business it can get very frustrating.  I also make the patchwork cot quilts that we sell at CHALK and with 2 shops now it is almost impossible to produce these in the limited space I have. 

My intention is to have the office area and sewing bench up one end with a floating bookcase on casters seperating it from a 'den' where I can watch as much crappy television as I like without interruption.

I have threatened to have a door at the bottom of the stairs to which only I have the key and I think they almost believe that I will do it.
I can not begin to tell you how excited I am about this part of the house - I often find myself daydreaming about it and I'm petrified someone will tell me we can't have it as it seems to good to be true.

Here is the inspiration for the sewing area of my space - my dear friend Kris has an amazing studio in her home and I'm hoping mine is half way as inspirational as hers.
