Smaggle

oh oh! those shoes! that dress! divine my dear, di-vine!

and actually, my life was falling apart last week, and the week before, but not so much this week – remember that it will end, good luck getting through it!

I am so glad Browny is back taking fab photos. Love ‘em.

You can’t have highs without these mediocre days… so ride them until they pass. Next week you’ll be in a wonderful place.

I abhor the whole house selling trauma, especially when they call to say they are coming to bring people through for an inspection in five minutes.

Oh, the cleaning memories!

You can tell you are frazled when you write that you have to “Learn the Learns for your play” lol.

For someone going through such a hectic stage with no toilet paper, you look amazing Hope things get a little more relaxed soon (or that the hospital stay comes complete with good food and foxtel).

1. Housemoving is never, ever good – it is horrid. Keep your head down and eyes shut until it passes.

2. You can only do what can be fitted into a working day (unless you’re a physicist and working on time/space continuum kind of things). Does your workload increase because other people make it a quarterly tradition to make you run around like headless things? Then invest in voodoo dolls and sharp hat pins.

3. The application is the most important thing on your list and once you make a start it will be OK. Honestly!

4. Will the world end if you’re not word perfect? Tell them you had an application to make!

5. You don’t have to work at the relaxing thing – that is what booze is for – and a weekend away from 1-4 and 6 will do you the world of good.

6. The learner driver behind shouldn’t be copying you – and if his learning consists of copying other road users then he should hand the keys back now

Those shoes have a force field of perfection strong enough to blast stress from here to kingdom-come. Rant on, eat well and get enough sleep.

Wise old granny-mode off.

p.s. Hospital food is crap so don’t go there!

That is quite a rant! I hope things get better–the Prada lace is certainly lovely.

I love love love the lace top!

You are looking hot, mama! I love that top and those shoes. I think you have the right idea with dressing up when you are feeling overwhelmed. At least you will feel good about your appearance.

I love the lace over jeans so much I can’t even tell you. Feeling INSPIRED!

It’s horrible to feel overwhelmed – when the deadlines are all coming at me I recite my mantra: “Everything will magically fall into place.” And it does!

It is that time of year dear… I recommend astrobarry for a weekly update on what is happening with the planets… trust me it’s essential

PS the shoes are FABULOUS

Oh, those SHOES! I think I need to go and buy those shoes, maybe it will keep my life from falling apart anymore than it now is! Maybe it’s just the time of year for lives to just be insane so we can appreciate when we’re not so busy?

Yikes! Sounds like a stress sandwich … grand how incredible busy-ness always piles up, isn’t it? Can’t just be overwhelmed in one area of life, gotta get hit with a giant deluge.

And yes, the fab new heels are the ONLY tonic for such things.

That IS unusual that they expect to have all your lines downpat at once. I find it easier to absorb if I include the physical movements in the character as I’m reading through… I look like a dork, but it works!
Just remember to eat healthy and you’ll keep looking stunning while freaking out… if you feel like it’s all getting on top of you, take a deep breath and affirm out loud “This too shall pass”… again, sounds crazy but totally works!

At least you look good!

Loving the shoes and top… i just keep going back up to spy on those shoes again and again. Whenever my world falls apart I dress pretty, put something sparkly on my eyes and grab the killer heels too – if it’s going to fall apart at least you know you look fab while it happens!!

NOOOOOO, that’s my house, not yours to sell!!!! We need to cuppa!!

Love it! Especially those shoes… greatness!

Ahh that sounds too crazy! But anyway, I like your top.

What horrid real estate people! Good luck learning your lines and your shoes are amazing!!!!!!!! (That’s eight exclamation marks and I mean every damn one of them).

I’m loving that top, and those exquisite shoes on you my dear! I am haing such a lace moment right now. I just have to master the waering of lace for men, so that I don’t wind up looking like a tranny that hasn’t bothered to put any effort in.

It’s OK! We all have stressful times – mine will be in December/January and late May/June. That is, heightened stress time. Because of exams. Egads. I feel your pain!

You can only do what fits into a working day… I wish! When it’s crunch time in my job I’m working 14 hour days.

I lovvve that top! Enjoy your break! I hope things get easier when you come back. <3

Well you might be stressed but you’re looking very funky! Love the heels. Have a fab break and I hope you get to relax xxx

Well, here’s my advice on the selling the house thing. I’ve done it several times. I just pretend I’m living in the Ritz Carlton Hotel and that housekeeping (me again) comes in the make it perfect each morning. So I have those lovely thick towels all rolled up, baskets of pretty soap, stylish fruit etc… You could even fold that little triangle into the toilet paper if it means you get to keep it. It is a bit of a pain in the arse, but it is oh so nice to come home to.
