On Being Beige
I spent the entire day in a strategic meeting. Strategic slipped into tactical which wound itself into operational and eventually found its way to inspirational. And not one cosmo, if you can believe it.
I'm also happy to report that Operation Beige-Free is well underway. So far 2008 has contained a limited amount of beige and even the brief beige periods have been peppered with humour and hope. But we are indeed strange creatures, because now that I'm facing an incredibly colourful adventure suddenly I'm craving a little beige.
Unfortunately, living beige free does not mean that every other colour is desirable. For example, the task of finding a foster home for my cat is an incredibly ugly shade of orange. It's heartbreaking and it just plain sucks. Purging stilettos is painful and I definitely need ideas on how to make packing more fun (prosecco optional but television unavailable).
If I could just fast-forward a few weeks ...
PS: 'Meh' is now an official word.
...
Meh.

Please, what is a cosmo?
Ignorant Uk person.
DjBeat beat me too it .... shoe parcels are always welcome ;-)
I would take your moggy too except I doubt he/she would cherish the plane journey
it is all so exciting ... :-)
I think life's masterpiece is probably best painted with the widest available palette.
E-Bay everything and get on the plane ;-)
change is difficult, but stasis is soul-crushing sometimes...
and i hear there are about 20 shades of beige available in portugal... so i hear...
I think I use the word meh at least a million times a day.
Also use heh a lot too :)
Which I have now realised makes me sound me sound like a grumpy troll :)
Heh! or meh
:)
Cosmo tis the cocktail Cosmopolitan, which is yummy.
Beige is beginning to look more attractive the older I 'git'.
[actually that's a complete lie, I just wanted to use the 'get' 'git' thang]
Don't forget to pack some stillettos - even if you don't wear them to go out... xxx
I'm with Somnambulist. Ebay everything and get on the plane!
Of course "meh" is official!
Colour is good, especially in multiples! ;-) and use the web to sell some of your stuff, it did wonders for us last year when we moved and sold a bunch of stuff.
BTW, I'd think you'd keep some stilettos, you know... for fun! ;-)
djbeat, i think you're one size smaller, but i have a kick-ass pair of boots you should have ...
TG, as per Claire (below): "Cosmo tis the cocktail Cosmopolitan, which is yummy." It's the yummy that makes it so bloody dangerous - like drinking candy.
70s, shoes = universal language of women. finding a home for my "moggy" is a bit harder than i thought ... :-(
Somnam, how very inspiring - did you just make that up? And can you e-Bay a cat ... ?
Daisyfae, at least 20 ... more if you include the taupe family.
Claire, grumpy troll? Sounds like my first draft of the ad for my cat ... ;-)
DaddyP, I git it.
P, don't you think you're feet might be a bit large ... ? xxx
NM, I'm working on it!!
Stinkypaw, well maybe not ALL shoes have to go ... ;-)
of course you can ebay your lovely cat. have you put notices at the local pet shop and vet? A letter drop in the streets nearby?
how about asking at the nearest retirement village or hospice - unless kitty really is a grumpy troll :-)
Size 9? ...send me the whole lot. Puss 'n boots too. Miss Harley is still missing Tug....
Seriously.
Great suggestions NM! x I'm still working on a few potential solutions ... and earning several grey hairs in the process :-(
The Other NM! Yikes, I didn't see your comment until just now!
I have no surf boots, but Harley sounds like a most excellent companion for Toby ... also a true god ;-)
