Packing and a Hot Makeover

1. You all. I feel as though I will never stop unpacking. Whenever I tell myself that YES INDEED THAT DAY WILL COME, the angsty lyric “never ever ever ever, don’t you even think it” plays in a loop throughout my brain. (At the end of “Joe Lies.” In Say Anything! Duh.) Here is a snapshot of the one room I FEEL as though I’ve spent days on.

This is probably the most organized room in the house as of 2:46pm PST.

(Long ass sigh.)

2. Since I will undoubtedly be huffing cardboard for the remainder of the week, please enjoy a new video series entitled Gone Style’s Five Minute Makeover. (Then you can explain to me how I got so lucky as to work with Rebecca Woolf and Josie Maran because, well, DUDE.)

Well, That Was Fun.

Thanks to a very patient cousin (who spent his Sunday evening converting this video from television to computer instead of 12,000 much more exciting activities), I have procured Friday’s Rachael Ray segment for your viewing pleasure.

A couple of notes regarding the segment.

1. This was filmed over a year ago. My “20-month-old toddler” is going to be three in less than a month. THREE. Hand me the Kleenex, my baby’s growing up!

2. I seriously have no recollection of talking to Rachael for that length of time. I am now fully convinced I had an out-of-body experience on set.

3. How fantastic was my friend and fellow blogger, Rebecca? She’s beyond lovely.

4. In typical D fashion, when we finished watching the segment, he looked at me and said, “Great job, sweets, BUT WHAT IN THE HELL DID THE PRODUCERS DO TO OUR COLLAGE WALL?” I explained to him that during my at-home interview, the lights were reflecting off some of our artwork, creating a glare, so they pulled them off the wall. This caused him great distress, my friends.

So! Being the sweet (ha) and understanding (ha ha) wife that I am, I have decided to make an announcement to the world. Hey world! You probably would have NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS noticed this, but look at our jacked-up collage wall! At the 30-second mark! QUELLE HORREUR!

Ahhh, living with an interior designer. I’m not sure he is going to fully recover.

My Daytime Talk Show Debut (!!!)

The Cool Me:

I’ll be appearing on the Rachael Ray Show this Friday, July 10th. Tune in to watch a fun Hair Thursday makeover with help from celebrity stylist, Rodney Cutler!

The Real Me:

OMG. OMG. Please don’t let me look like a douchebag on national television. OMG. OMG.

Also, what is this all about?

Brutally honest solution? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

“Hey! You over there! You are a very ugly person! You would look much better with this Gwyneth Paltrow-inspired hairstyle!”

OMG.
