~ Slacker and a Second Home ~

1.  Yup, that's me.

2.  Just call me slacker

3.  because I have.

4.  Been slacking, that is.

5.  I admit it.

6.  But for a good reason!

7.  I've been popping in and out of your beautiful homes

8.  stealing ideas

9.  because I needed some inspiration

10. because I'm bored with my house right now

11.  and it needed some refluffing and refloofing

12. and I didn't know where to start.

13. So I whined and cried

14. and threw myself at my friend Jo's feet from Secret Garden Cottage

15. begging her for guidance and advice in making my home look more like hers

Jo's incredible kitchen

16. and making her promise to be brutally honest with me.

17. I emailed her photos of my unhappy, unfluffed, unfloofed house

18. and waited for her to lay her expert eyes across them and spew her decorating wisdom.

19. She happily did.

20. After reading, rereading, and again rereading her critique and ideas

21.  I immediately threw my laptop down and started tossing things around the ktichen

My unfloofed kitchen...

...in need of floofing (but WITH a new farm light over the table!)

22. in a good way, mind you......not at Jo.

23. I was still tossing at 12:30am

24. when I noticed another email from my head-stylist

25. asking if I was still talking to her or not.

26. Oops.

27. In my juvenile anxiousness to instantly make the changes she so sweetly suggested

28. I forgot to drop her an email and thank her.

27. Slacker.

28. After making the proper amends with her, I finally headed to bed

29. only to be up 7 hours later raring to go to make a trip to

30. which can now be defined as my new second home

31.  because I'll be spending a whole lot of time there, you see,

32. due to the fact that they carry everything under the sun for a house in need of refloofing.

33. So if you don't see various sundry items being tossed out of my windows

34. and I don't answer my phone

35. you'll know that I'm at 

36. loading my cart carts with treasures tagged with little stickers that say 50% OFF.

37. Oh yeah, baby.

38. This slacker won't be home for a while.....

39. and she might be a great BIG slacker for a few more days

40. before she reveals the changes she's made thanks to her super-duper stylist friend, Jo.
