Fini!

Nope, not a WIP. The house. Got the last room finished today - de-cluttered, organized, tidy. Picked up a couple pieces of the furniture and added a few decorative touches. Not that I have any decorating talent, but I did arrange some non-book items. I have one more unique piece on order to fit under my staircase, a piece which will probably hold more books…

Around this house, books seem to multiple like fruit flies - you know, spontaneous generation. Put two books together on a shelf and pretty soon you have three or four or five. Maybe books use the rhythm method of birth control. All I know is I sure have donated a hell of a lot of books to the library over the past twelve months and there’s plenty left over in every single room. Boxes in the garage, the attic. Guess I wouldn’t have it any other way. But my oh my, hubby does love his Kindle. Saves a lot of shelf space.

Books are just like my hair, which grows incredibly fast. Nice segue, huh? I cut off three, four inches this week. Well, I didn’t cut it, my hairdresser cut it for me. Those of you who saw pictures of me from the July wedding know that my hair was pretty short. I decided to let it grow after the wedding and it was already down to my shoulders. My coarse, horse hair gets out of control fast. When it reaches a certain length it drives me insane and the urge to chop it off becomes overwhelming. Snip snip.

I came home and hubby said, “You look like a boy.”

Well, I sure hope I look like a cute boy. Here’s the cut I copied. What do you think? Or is this a loaded question?

    I’ll bet the haircut looks really cute on you.

    As for the books. I swear they’re like rabbits. I have to clear them out of all the rooms in the house every few months. :)

    That haircut is adorable! Soooooo cute. Love it. I’ll bet you look great! Can’t wait to see you.

    I like it! Take a picture for a side by side.

    Didn’t you used to have a bacon blog link on your side-margin? I wanted to link to it today from my blog, but I don’t see it. I wrote about my recent recipe of yum. Not terribly original but great for lunch.

    I miss you! Unless you’re coming to conferences this year, I’m planning on making a point to see you in 2013. Even if I have to drag you over here. ;)

    It’s a cute style, but I’d love to see it on you! I’m sure it’s adorable!

    That is a cute hairstyle. Congrats on finishing the house. I know what you mean about books. I have been so good (I thought) about managing the number of books. Then I realize I’m just spreading them out, making the piles smaller and tucking cute little shelves in out of the way places- stealth shelves.

  7. Oooh, stealth shelves! That’s what I’ll start calling them, Jaye!

  8. Thanks, Nina. If I can figure out how to use my phone…

  9. Hi, Mia! Yes I did have a link to a bacon blog, but the blog person stopped posting. Too bad! I loved the bacon blog! We definitely have to get together!

  10. Yes, Amber, books are like rabbits. They do multiply!

  11. Thanks, Pen - I’ll try to get a picture up!

    Love the new do - super sexy - don’t listen to your hubby! And - is that what is going on in my bookshelf - bunny reproduction!! I always wondered how the pile kept growing (even with a Nook and Kindle). Thanks for the enlightment :)

    Great hair, product using cut, no? Now you’ve done your place I will send you a ticket and you can come over and do mine. I have no ability to throw stuff out. I might need it. I inherited my parent’s depression mind set. My sister is so bad she has to buy new houses for all her stuff.

    Tell your hubs he can live a whole bunch of new fantasies with the cut. S

  14. Hey Casey - yup, bunnies! Okay, I’ll tell him…

  15. Steph - yeah, all the M/M fantasies! Ha! No I toss stuff. Actually I donate it. I really am not a hoarder. My husband can be if left to his own devices.

  16. anny cook says:

    I love books. Have them in every room except the bathrooms. Glad to see you’re still blogging. I keep looking for the links to your blog on Facebook, but it’s never there anymore…:-(

  17. Anny - really? It’s supposed to automatically upload to FB. Sigh. I’ll have to check on it. I even have books in the bathrooms. Insane, huh.

  18. anny cook says:

    FB no longer automatically up loads it. That stopped on November 22.

  19. Thanks for letting me know, Anny. I had no idea.

  21. For now it’s clean, Sandra…for now!
