Snapshots

Today, walking through SOCO, after a lunch meeting, I stumble upon this cozy scene.  

At first glance, I thought it was a chaise.  Upon closer inspection, I found it was a very deep-seated chair and ottoman.  My home office wants one.

Weekend pictures:
Rett was less than thrilled to be at the Galaxy game, which was reminiscent of the time Liam was his age and complained about going to Disneyland too much, just wrong.  

To distract him from this torture, we made a game of taking selfies while waiting for the game to start.

I forgot to switch out handbags, therefore, the fancy purse had to do a little heavy lifting.    Louis complained, but luckily it was in french and I ignored him.  No scarves were snagged by a wayward sequin.  Crisis averted.

If I had seen someone else carrying this bag, I would have certainly made fun.  

Inappropriate handbags are nearly as offensive as inappropriate footwear...Okay, maybe not, but certainly in the top 10.


Lastly, the freesias I planted last year are starting to rebloom.  The bulbs in the shot below were not originally planted under the fence.  

I suspect it's the handy work of a little 6 pound, mischief, loving dog.

Video Log II

Just be forewarned, it was a long weekend, and I'm not really at my best in this little diddy.  The original video had to be chopped to pieces, since I rattled on and on about some total nonsense for 19 minutes.  Next time, I'll set a timer to help keep me on task.  Editing took way longer than last time.  I don't want to ever go through that again.

Accountability

I really think there needs to be some accountability in order to make this project a success. And one of my goals this year is to be better at embracing my shortcomings. So let's begin with the before pictures.
As things are removed or organized I will post the changes. Then eventually we can move to the redesign. That will be the reward for all this hard work.
Also, I'm feeling slightly compelled to show how beautiful the rest of my house is...and my garage too, which is more of a game room. Since all other areas are pristine, the burden of odds and ends falls on my "office".... I'm pretty sure there are some returns in this giant pile so I'm going to start with those.
