the busy girl

So I’ve been pretty crazy lately with finishing up the store, working, making stuff, babysitting, taking care of my sick boy, and of course making a Max costume (from Where The Wild Things Are). But its winding down, and we have an opening date in mind! It may be subject to change, but right now we are trying for Friday, October 23rd. If you’re in Cincy, please stop by our opening! It’s from 7 pm-12 am, and we’ll have music, free food, and LOTS of great deals! Bring your friends (Enemies too if they like cheap funky ass clothes and accessories)!!

Today’s outfit is from a few days ago when I actually left my house and went out with some of my ladies. The last time I wore this dress some crazy lady yelled after me that no matter what I did, there was no way I could convince her that I am a grape. Damn! I thought I was really foolin’ people!

i <3 home remedies

So, this is just a little post about how great home remedies are. I just discovered gum on my pillowcase (don’t ask me how it got there) and I was really sad until I remembered what my high school government teacher told me one day when I sat in gum: if you rub the gum down with ice it hardens enough to chip right off.

Then I got to thinking about my other beloved remedies, such as using a piece of bread to pick up tiny glass shards. It works like a dream, even on carpet!

I wish I knew more actually, so this is a call for any of your home remedies!!

just another day as a fake librarian

I am pretty much always the ridiculously over-dressed person at my job as a shelver at the downtown Cincinnati Public Library, but it never bothers me. : ) I wish I didn’t make such dumb faces though. Oh well!
