sagaciously is...

Bakers Dozen c/o KB via ej.

I'm just excited, and looking forward to seeing all my peoples hang out in my new space. Did I mention that this coming Saturday is Housewarming Day! And yes fave, if you could bring your piano & grace us with a song or ej, if you could bless me with some tunes...I may do a jig...

1. gradSchool:: I got an A, and a B. Now can I get over that "so what" feeling?


2. theVolunteerism:: Again, I need a metro Atlanta (404 area code) non-profit - preferably a well-deserving yet not-well-known organization. This search is harder than I thought. If you have one in mind, holla at yo girl!


3. Decorating part 6,225: incidentals are the bane of my existance. Now, I'm wishing I hadn't been so quick to toss stuff just because it didn't fit in with my new design/house.


4. prePartyShopping:: likker bought, some food bought, and got a hookup on party supplies (trade only, sowwy). Now to put all this party stuff together...and why were brothers at the likker sto' lining up to come home with me? Sheesh.


5. handyIsAsHandyDoes:: need some drywall patched? Trim refreshened? Sod/pinestraw replanted? I'm yo girl ;-) Ok, kidding - but as a new homeowner, I'm still in the "this is fun" stage. Hope that feeling lasts forever - or at least past lawn-mowing season.


6. someAssemblyRequired - part II:: I bought some funky looking window panels from Penney's (Yeah, I know, it's not "all inside" - don't even go there...lol). Now, the box said some assembly required, but any window treatment that requires a slide-rule and protractor to hang? Probably shouldn't be labeled "easy-assembly"! I'm just sayin'....


7. I'm-a-kea, You're-a-kea, He's-a-kea, She's-a-kea:: Wouldn't you like to be I-kea too? Ok boooo - that was lame. But despite my initial disappointment with Ikea's furniture, I am pleasantly surprised by the cheap, cute funkiness of sonme of their chachkes - and let me tell ya, ain't nothing better than cheap, cute and funky chachkes. I'm also feeling CB2.com - they're my new addition to online decorating destinations.


8. Zen Decorating Moment - revisited:: it's shaping up nicely.


9. prePartyPampering:: to be continued...I mean, who has the time?


10. theMindlessSelfIndulgence:: with 40-looming ahead, my skin needed work. After seeing a few sistas leaving a facial spa, I decided I deserved a little indulgence for my 40th birthday - to make my skin look good. So I started a series of treatments from Ageless Remedies (same place I went for the laser hair removal thingie, with good results). Well, this week's treatment was an IPL - Photorejuvenation Laser Treatment. Now while I normally have NEVER had truly "bad" results - this week's result was more than a little unexpected....


11. Tony the Tiger??!!:: There are stripes: a-l-l_o-v-e-r_m-y_f-a-c-e. My technician assures me they'll be gone within two weeks, but I had no intent on going to my party in costume. Shyt.


12. musicJewel:: Hm, I hadn't done an Arby in a LOOOOONG time. However, there's a Sergio Mendes/will.i.am (Black-eyed Peas) collaboration out called Timeless that I scarfed at my local (you guessed it, so I don't even have to say the name). Now I may be late with this, but the collabo is hot, and will.i.am is kinda nasty as a producer. If you find Timeless anywhere, or get a chance to catch the Peapod Charity Concert this Friday (Vh1 or MTV - check your listings) you'll get a taste of the album. (...I still can't stand Fergie though, I don't care how much I'm feeling this album...). I'll try to upload the Arby sometime this week.

I may post Tony the Tiger pics today, to commemorate my lunacy. Ggggrrrrrr!
