Blowing off work

So my therapist recommended that I take the weekend off, starting Friday, because she thinks I am burnt out (I was like, hello? Thats what I've been trying to tell you).
Of course I obliged her (it's amazing to pay someone to tell you to do what you want, I highly recommend it), and Roxanne and I spent the day together shopping and eating and drinking. It. Was. Amazing.
Roxanne, thank you so much for such a great day; I got home glowing and exhausted, in a good way. And, totally inspired. We went to Jabus in town (this great second hand store where there are literally piles of clothing that you need to sort through), and I ended up practically diving into the scarf pile to dig up the most beautiful patterned scarves. The idea is to take the scarves and sew them together to make scatter cushions for mine and pauls apartment. I mean, come on, have you seen the shit that stores are selling in the way of scatter cusions these days? Two hundred rand for a shiny pink pillow with sequins? No thanks. Really.\

I also bought this great dress which I plan to turn into a sexy shirt, and this funny little grey dress which I think would be fantastic as a slim pencil skirt with pleated panels at the back to allow for movement.

Woot!
