The lovely lady above 

is celebrating the 50th anniversary of her

~only novel~

(do you recognize her? the haircut should give it away)

*she is notoriously reclusive*

I do believe it's time to celebrate

with my annual re-reading of my favorite book

To Kill a Mockingbird 

by Harper Lee 

*pictured above*

P.S. I totally had that same "Scout"  haircut when I was little~

Boston Blue Print

Not in the budget

Friday was the fifth anniversary

of the 

Sofa Super Store tragedy

sadly Charleston lost

Nine brave Firefighters 

Whenever I drive by the empty lot

where the store once stood

it is a reminder of what

these brave men and woman do everyday

Behind Closed doors *wink*

I've been thinking about 

~My Closet alot lately~

(see previous post)

so to go with

*Operation Pimp out my Closet*

I think it would be fun

to wallpaper 

my clothes new digs 

this *cheeky*wall paper

Paper Flavor

Would be my choice

I like the idea that it would

~be kinda hidden~

It's not what you wear - it's how you take it off. ~Author Unknown

So now that I am moving to a new job

One super exciting aspect

is buying clothes

 that aren't considered "barware"

I am going to be able

to spend my money

on clothes that I can wear

beyond slinging drinks

Here are some lovely examples 

of what I want to wear

~right now~

my closet is filled with 

cheapie

black pieces

(that can withstand Jagermeister spills)

So it was so hot today that my metal earrings burnt me

Black & White Cocktail Party

There is no black-and-white situation.

It's all part of life.

Highs, lows, middles.

High Hopes

Things are looking up!

“Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.”

Today is a big day for me

I'm putting in my

*Two weeks notice*

(I've been at the same job for 7 years)

In a perfect world

Congratulations!

anyone will react

*it could go a lot of ways*
