today i realized how incredibly spoiled i am. today i realized how big of a pansy i am. today i realized that hanging at starbucks and blog stalking doesn't prepare you to go out into the big bad world of reality. the one where people actually have JOBS. one's that they have to set their alarms for and shower for. ones that require them to dress in something other than their least dirty pair of jeans and random vintage tshirts. ones where they can't pull their hair back into a half ass pony tail and walk around until noon without brushing their teeth (ok, i only do that on monday, wednesday & friday). yes, today i realized that never again will i be able to work somewhere that requires me to "clock in" or where i only have 1hr to eat my lunch. today i realized that even a mere 8 hours is too long to go w/out seeing this
yes, today i realized i am living a very big dream.......and i'm spoiled! did i mention that already?
so, because i have the inability to say no to anyone....and well, i had nothing else going on...i decided to help a friend whose cousin is opening a new Talbots right up the road. the grand opening is on wednesday and she just needed help getting things ready. setting out clothes, shoes, purses, accessories....uh, yea! i can totally go play w/ a bunch of women and surround myself w/ pretty things...and pick up some extra cash in the process. yea, well that's when the whole reality check happened. i woke up this a.m. w/ yet another headache, totally did not want to go but forced myself to shower and yes, brush my teeth even though it's friday. i put on clean jeans too! my big motivator was that FALL had arrived overnight and the temps were FAB! anyway, i showed up and MAN! it was hard freakin' work. seriously, hundreds of boxes to unpack. hundreds of shirts, sweaters, jeans, slacks...do people still say slacks?....skirts, purses, belts, sunglasses, pj's, omygosh it was never ending! i've never seen so much plastic wrap and tissue paper. i broke 3 nails and within an hour i was searching for the starbucks and donuts just to get me through til lunch! after lunch i broke another nail, my headache was back, my ass was numb and my back felt like i had a machete stuck between my shoulder blades. yea, i busted out of there at 4 on the dot and felt like i could've came home and slept for days.....uh, only i had 3 kids to come home to and a full day ahead tomorrow. luckily, i got a little break because everyone was playing at a neighbors....woohoo! let me tell ya people, i have a whole new appreciation for retail....and for anyone who has a "real job". how quickly i have adapted to my life as a starbucks junkie, blog stalkin', stay at home mom turned photographer.....my life is GOOD!
btw-i go back on monday.....................................
what can i say???? the purses were WAAAY cute!
