Instant Gratification

I typically make bigger purchases on a “feeling.” That maybe stupid, but it’s what works for me. I was in Nordstroms and saw the most gorgeous Burberry bag. I’m not really into Burberry, too posh. But this was perfect size, nothing too gaudy but most of all, it had functionality written all over it. It was $998. I thought about it, left the store, and even came back to touch it again. Weighing what $998 would otherwise buy mee. You’ll be relieved that I didn’t get it.

Instead, I went back to the Coach store to purchase this black bag I’ve been eying earlier that afternoon. I liked it, wanted it, needed it and bought it.

This was first Coach bag that didn’t come home with me. It was not in stock and will be shipped to me in 5-7 days. So much for instant gratification.

My Fair Brady Birthday Bash

I got an evite to come to Tentation last nite. It was Adrienne Curry’s Birthday and I wanted to go, but kinda pushed it outta my mind since I wasn’t sure if anyone else wanted to go.

Well during happy hour earlier that afternoon, some of us decided to go to Tentation for other reasons than that of my own.
So Im pumped. Im a nerd. I know. And I got hang out with them too!!

An Unlikely Killer

There was this fly that found its way into my bedroom through an small tear in the screen from my open window. It was big and ugly.

Now, for some reason we don’t own a flyswatter anymore. Not sure why, but I know we don’t.

So I close my bedroom door to confine it only to my room. Smart, I know.

Well, I’m trying to ignore it, but anyone who knows me well, will know I couldnt ignore something for any longer than…….45 seconds, max. All the while thinking, “such a stupid fly, you’ll die before you find your way outta my room.”

So I look around the room for something that would be firm enough to smash this fly. Something I could throw away, something I wouldn’t need or miss.

I couldn’t find a damn thing……..

Thinking and remembering back to when I was younger and home alone and found a spider or insect…what did I do besides run and scream??

I SPRAYED IT WITH ANYTHING FROM AN AEROSOL CAN!

Hairspray, Raid, Pledge,  you name it.

Since I had just changed my bedsheets earlier that morning, I still had my Febreeze on my dresser.

I decided to Febreeze this fly to death. Shockingly enough, it only took 2 sprays……..

Now, I was satisfied that I had confined it, killed it with minimal effort and use of Febreeze…..but I couldnt help but think about how easily that fly died.

2 shots. That was it.

Then my paranoia took over. What if all the times I’ve used this stuff, sprayed it on everything, what if I was dying?!

Then I got over it.

Febreeze. Odor eliminator. Air Freshener. Fly Killer.
