I have never seen the air this bad. Wow. Breathing is not fun right now.

My bedroom, the only room with an open window, smells of soot. I consider myself far from the fire, but it's not far enough.

I love those experiences, jesse. They are few and far between in my shopping life.

I was in the garage looking for my die cut machine (shut up all of you!) and instead I found a box of my skinny clothes. Yes. There is no chance that I will fit in Size 4 pants again. But the size 6 denim skirt from Talbots fit. The Size 8 Jeans from Ann Taylor, also fit.

WOOT. It was like a brand new wardrobe that needs to be laundered.

Noah also got to ride a trike on the trike track. So cute. Until he exhausted himself into sleep.

That's awesome, Kat!

And reminds me I meant to drop stuff off at the dry cleaner this weekend, speaking of new wardrobe. Crap.

Right?

Picture taking is done, we are now waiting to see digital proofs. I hope to be surprised by the result, I feel kinda meh about the poses.

Are you in matching outfits?

I hope they have matching santa sweaters on!

It would be really cute if they had matching santa sweaters, and then Colin Firth, in his matching Santa sweater showed up! It could be the romantic comedy of the decade!

I kid you not, a woman here just asked if she could have her pictures for free because she lost her wallet.

'Tis the season... Lewis was filling out the Sheriff's Dept. pawn forms yesterday for a customer who was selling games at the store (a requirement for all Game Stop stores) and the customer's mother was one of those people who lives to make life hell for everyone. Accused Lewis of being some sort of shyster because "not every store does that and I want the number of your district manager because I want to ask about this and is this legal and..."

And when Lewis said that he would pass along her complaints she said "Good-- you'd better. I spent an hour on the phone with the district manager for Taco Bell yesterday because they have the nerve to be charging twenty-five cents for a cup of water."

I bought size 8 jeans today. Stretch, true, but the 10s I can yank off easily without unbuttoning them after wearing them an hour. These can technically be removed without unbuttoning, but it takes some doing.

I should see if my old size 8 skirts from hs (they are really classic & nice which is the only reason I saved them: linen, long pencil skirts in natural and tobacco) fit yet. Probably not, they were pretty unforgiving.

I'm seriously inspired by this woman. From now on, I'm going to lose my wallet for all the really big painful expenses. Car repairs? Lost my wallet. Home depot? Lost my wallet. Sorry.
