i am 31 flavours of awesome.
When I left the office at 5 o’clock to meet work friends, I had no idea what chaos would unfold in the space of an hour.
But I should have known, since I am me, and me = chaos.
And even if there is only an hour, I can fit the chaos in.
Oh, chaos.
And toes.
Oh, toes.
I’m so sorry I smashed you when I skidded across the sidewalk on a pile of wet leaves. I didn’t mean to squish you so thoroughly. But I did, just like I did last year.
The same exact way.
Oh, pedicure.
I’m sorry your OPI prettypretty was transformed into a mangled mosaic of leaves and blood and chipped sadness.
But thank heavens nachos awaited, only a block down the street.
Oh, nachos.
How tasty you are.
How I love it when you fill my belly!
But not so much my bra.
I’m sorry I let an entire chipful of your happy, spicy salsa escape straight into my shirt while I spoke to our new VP.
I didn’t know a chip could hold that much.
Sadly, I knew my bra could.
Thank heavens a refill of my signature perfume awaited only a block down the street.
Oh, Angel.
I’ve wanted to refill you for a long time. And so I did.
And the lady I bought it from was SO nice to me. She stuck all sorts of samples into my bag.
Oh, samples.
How I love to try new things!
Then I stole out into the rain to go home and oh, my.
Oh, rain.
WOULD YOU PLEASE FREAKING GO AWAY.
I consoled myself by giving all the samples a sniff.
Then I accidentally sprayed Covet into my eye.
That’s a little Old Testament for me.
Oh, Old Testament.
At least you spared me the locusts.

ha! this is one of my favorite megposts yet…ah, to spend a day in your brain.

A bright thought: the day can only get better from here, I think.
Unless you have depths to which you can fall which are as yet unknown….

“Where did you get a Sephora perfume refill?”, she asks, screaming at the top of her lungs.

They sell it at the Bay, too. :-)

Dammit! When I saw the word ‘Sephora’ in the link, I was consumed with the unlikely hope that the store of my dreams had sprung up out of the ether….so sad now….:(

Dripping salsa down the shirt is my move, dangit! Copycat.

Meg, you crack me up.

“i am 31 flavours of awesome.”
and then some - you sell yourself short at times. Meg, and there’s absolutely no need to; you’d be a catch in any man’s book.
Keep smiling. Love your blog.

Oooo - EdinBurgundy, my favorite OPI shade. Blood red, in spades. Hope the pretty toes got fixed :)
