retail therapy part 2
Wednesday, February 01, 2006
I had a weird day today.
At 8am this morning, one of the guys at the office received an sms message saying that this guy we worked with got into a vehicular accident and that his car was totaled. Given that he's had about 5 previous accidents, it was really no big deal at the office. We knew he'd be back at work the next day. About an hour later though, we got another sms saying that he passed away.
Shock. Denial. Grief. We were calling hospitals and relatives to confirm the sms message, and people were crying. I was crying. Buckets. BIG buckets.
Funny thing was, no one else seemed to know anything. To make a long story short, it all turned out to be one really sick joke of the guy's friends. A practical joke. A prank. Can you believe that?!?! Who in their right fcuking mind would do this kind of thing??? Totally sick, man. May the fleas of a million camels land upon his armpits and multiply. Just remembering it totally pisses me off, so I'm staying off the subject.
So anyhoo, THAT started my day. The rest was pretty anticlimactic. A lot of work. A lot of stress. A really bitchy woman from another department who can't seem to grasp facts even when they're laid out for the whole world to see. And so I ended the day by doing the one thing that I knew was guaranteed to turn things around in a quick 180 degrees...
More retail therapy. LOL!!!
Bought myself a really bee-yooo-tiful pair of sexy shoes from Nine West. It's so Sex-and-the-city-ish!!! Actually, I saw the pair last weekend (when I had my retail therapy part 1) but didn't buy it despite the shoe moment. But I couldn't get it out of my mind since then, and I thought that it would be the perfect pick-me-up after the shitty day I had. Oh, but hey, this is a legally bought shoe...meaning Mr. S knows I bought them. Remember the 3-inch black pointy shoes I bought 2 weeks ago? Mr. S doesn't know about them. LOL!!! I hid them in the trunk of my car after I bought it, and just brought it in when he was busy working on his puter. That was maybe 3 days after. LOL!!! Am I bad??? Ok, don't answer that. It was meant to be a rhetorical question anyway. And besides, all's well that ends well. I'm happy. I stay sane. I don't drive my chubby-hubby insane. There's balance in the world. Yin and yang. Luke and Darth. Peanut butter and jelly.
I am sitting on five layouts that I haven't showed you guys yet, and only one has been posted on the digi sites I frequent (did that just a few minutes ago). Man, the latest ones I've been cranking out are soooo cool...if I do say so myself. LOL!!! Have you gone and checked out Sweet Shoppe Designs??? Grand opening TODAY!!! If you haven't been there, I give you permission to stop reading and head on over there. But do come back and read the rest of my mindless blabber, please? Ok, you can go now.
So are you back? LOL!!! I'm such a silly geezer tonight. Must still be riding on the high of my recent shoe acquisition. So didja love the stuff there??? Absolutely yummy stuff eh? I have been working with Robin's latest kits for SSD for a few weeks, and have been DYING to show off my layouts. With the site now open, I finally get to post these babies one at a time.

Love the LO.. what a jerk for the bad joke on everyone.. and the shoes.. to die for. Retail therapy is the ONLY Therapy :)
Hey Tin! The shoes are fabulous! I admire you for being able to walk and stay on those shoes! Its the kind of shoes that Oprah refers to as a ten minute walk then I'll just stand here for a bit then Id be sitting down for the most part but pretty to look at shoes!hehehe... It would be such a delight if its also comfy!

What an awful joke! Why anyone would think that is funny is beyond me. I would be pissed off too.
Gorgeous shoes! you wouldn't catch me in them though- I would break my neck. Give me a sensible pair of flats any day!
Love the new LO of Chloe- she is definately a Tootsie Pop. Yes, I went shopping at the Sweet Shoppe after DH went to bed and it was just me and Sarah keeping each other company last night ;) That quarterly sampler was something I just couldn't pass up!
