Peek-a-boo, guess who

I / I am….

Full of aches and pains – my neck and shoulders are tense and sore, my head is throbbing and my stomach is upset (had quite the throw up session last night, not nice)

Hating my ginormous breasts

Convinced the constant pain in my shoulders is caused by my massive boobage

Missing someone – in fact a few someones. 2 stand out in particular

Waiting to hear if some special someones got something special

Love making people smile and happy – it makes me happy by proxy

Am very excited about a visit by a sweet, kind, sexy, funny, interesting and much-needing-a-rest-friend; who will be welcomed with open arms at CasaSwissTwist for some R&R and Swiss hospitalty

Find Twitter irresistible, but I really need to get some work done

Promised a very new and very dear chat friend that I would blog, so there you go!

 

In other news:

Had a giggle yesterday when I heard a particular song, it took me back to my final year of high school. Tradition was that the leaving seniors would put on a show for the school and everyone in senior class got to participate. During the course of senior year we got a new Physical Science teacher. The poor dear was fresh out of teaching college and thrown into the lair of an all girls catholic high school. We did take advantage of her, we definitely did give her a very hard time and I wouldn’t be surprised if she had a nervous breakdown after our school show.

Dressed in only funky coloured leggings, the school tie and blazers we danced around with umbrellas / canes and sang (to the tune of Hey, Big Spender):

 The minute you walked through the door

We could tell you were an easy target, a real pushover

So young, and so naive

Bet you didn’t know what we had up our sleeves

 

So, let us get right to the point

We would like to feed you plastic explosives

Potassium and water

 

Hey Miss E…

Hey Miss E…

Stay home and

Rather watch TV

 I laugh and cringe when I think of this now. We were so very mean. Needless to say, it wasn’t received well by the faculty, the rest of the school loved it of course.

The rolling pea

now if only it would hurry up and get to me!!

I would have loved to put the Vimrod image here, but its fully copyrighted and I don’t think its allowed Go visit the site though, its brilliant

Quote of the Day

“Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.”

My question to you: How far have YOU gone and what did you learn?

And I miss you

here’s why.. Please come back to me

Shoe clean up

So, long overdue and much needed, I spent a good part of Saturday tidying and re-organising my shoe shelves and cupboard. What I also (barely) managed to do was throw out a few pairs of shoes!! Winter shoes, that is. I had to be pretty strict with myself, and when it comes to my shoes, its really difficult.

I have both shelving and a cupboard / chest of drawers for my shoes besides the slide out drawer and the 4 basket-type drawers (just for shoes) I have in my main closet. For my shelves, I bought these fantastic boxes in different sizes and designs, they’re really strong and sturdy and of course, very pretty. I had looked into going the clear-box route, but I think these are lovelier. I’ve photographed most of my shoes, just haven’t got round to printing them to go on the relevant boxes, but a lot are there already. Take a look:

The idea for the hats hanging on the side, I got from the clever SheBee a long time ago when I was lamenting what to do with my hats.

In my shoe drawers, I managed to do some re-organising too, it now contains most of my winter shoes and boots. Check it out:

 

 

 

 

 

   

I did actually manage to throw a few pairs of shoes and boots out!!! 3 pairs of boots, a pair of ankle boots and a few pairs of pumps, I’m so proud of me!!

 

Picked up of another shoe-loving-blog:

Number of empty shoe boxes you cleared out while counting up the tally: 5- shoes are in pretty boxes instead.
Most expensive pair of shoes: ooohhhh a pair of Gucci ankle boots – they cost a few hundred Swiss Francs (on sale).
Cheapest pair of shoes: A pair of black ballerina flats that cost about Sfr30, they’re okay for work when I do lots of walking around.
Brands of shoes represented in your collection:
Gucci, Boss Orange, Boss Black, Salvatore Ferrangamo, Nine West, Zoom, Colin Stuart, S. Oliver, Bata and a good few more, including local, cheaper brands. 
 

So I’m quite proud of me, I think I accomplished a lot by actually getting rid of some shoes and in spite of the traumatic Sunday I’d had, I’m still just FINE – getting by, just gonna have to deal with it and move on, nothing else one can do.
