The worst room is a great place to start.<br /><br />Rebecca, I agree. I often think how much I moan if I have a headache etc. Far more chic to not say a word.<br /><br />Hostess, we're not quite in that league but I would love a man with a microphone sometimes!<br /><br />Sheree, I've read the book and seen the movie but not for a while so don't remember the quote. Merci!<br /><br />Erina, yes, they bought a lot but the main thing I worry about is that everyone went away happy. It's very important for a small shop such as ours. I'd hate to think someone went away with a bad experience. It makes me realise how nice people are though, they are happy to wait. Thank you about Atlas, we do remember him fondly and have a giggle over cute things he did.<br /><br />Adrienne, what a shame for your Italian pillowcases. How zen you sound!<br /><br />7dayholiday, well done you.<br /><br />KBG, I love your list, it makes me feel relaxed and at ease.<br /><br />LR, macaroons are so delicious. I've only bought them once or twice because they are so expensive but I know how much work goes into making them so I don't begrudge it. And extra points for spoiling your man.<br /><br />Lenna, I cook oven meals because I am lazy. We had another tonight - Mexican chilli beans and beef.Fiona Ferrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01493105915055099408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-79956271308609226702011-09-09T09:35:19.338+12:002011-09-09T09:35:19.338+12:00Hello Fiona,

While in school I was always too lazy but I want to make an effort now to actually cook. it's quite fun and delicious :) <br />and I always love myself a good quote that reminds me of the lovely audrey.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16294280372863284579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-52911417470143205502011-09-09T06:46:20.563+12:002011-09-09T06:46:20.563+12:00I'm halfway through my day, but I just bought ...I'm halfway through my day, but I just bought some wonderful macaroons on my lunch break from the bakery down the street....so GOOD.

Congratulations to you on keeping your cool and still making an effort after a hard day was done.<br /><br />My chic accomplishments today include <br />- putting on make-up and nice jewelry even though I'm only working from home<br />- putting together a lovely dinner for my husband this evening because he has a long and irritating day ahead of him.<br />- Eliminating clutter by tackling a mountain of unfiled paper work.<br />- Balancing my evening with a little current affairs, a little art, and a little romance (mind and body, the complete chic package!)KBG in DCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-35806368180500890152011-09-09T05:03:02.041+12:002011-09-09T05:03:02.041+12:00I have started maintaining my own diary for Septem...I have started maintaining my own diary for September and everytime I get your blog update I update mine! :) It feels good to look back at my chic accomplishments!7dayholidayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10877388961975774963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-17682637524925486652011-09-09T04:52:34.098+12:002011-09-09T04:52:34.098+12:00I worked in a few different shoe stores in San Fra...I worked in a few different shoe stores in San Francisco for years while in college. You have to be on your toes (pun intended) and make use of your organizing and memory skills. I can relate a little bit to the chaos you must experience. <br /><br />What did I do chic yesterday: <br /><br />I not only washed our bed linens, but I ironed our pillow cases (that's the chic part). Unfortunately, our old iron, which I have already cleaned thoroughly, left an ugly mark on one of my new Italian pillowcases. Tomorrow, it's off to buy a new iron. Although I was disappointed by the new mark on my pillowcase, I didn't let it bother me too much. It's just a pillowcase after all. <br /><br />xo, AAdriennehttp://therichlifeonabudget.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-13893112343513848792011-09-09T03:57:09.937+12:002011-09-09T03:57:09.937+12:00Congrats on keeping your cool when the shop was so...Congrats on keeping your cool when the shop was so full. Hope they bought a lot! I imagine that your store is a really nice place to shop, with you and your husband running it. I wanted to add that the photo of Atlas from yesterday is so sweet. Time always helps. It will still hurt, but in a different way, and there will be many times that you will be able to remember him and share memories with your husband and friends, and smile, and maybe even laugh at silly things. He won't ever be gone, not really.<br /><br />erinaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-60855021413729180122011-09-09T02:39:13.485+12:002011-09-09T02:39:13.485+12:00Hi Fiona,

Doc said something about her being talky as a jaybird and always having something interesting to say. She was gentle and beautiful in the movie, too. <br /><br />Thanks for writing on such a busy day.<br /><br />ShereeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-83670351747443400182011-09-09T01:47:20.189+12:002011-09-09T01:47:20.189+12:00I am having my own shoe party here at the Bungalow...I am having my own shoe party here at the Bungalow.<br /><br />Nordstrom's in Seattle has a big shoe department and there is a clerk whose main job is to announce over the microphone to the hoards of eager shoe shoppers who is up next for service!<br />I have observed women with shoe boxes stacked several feet high trying on maybe 20 pairs of shoes. It's mayhem.<br /><br />Having seen this I feel that I understand how you might feel.<br /><br />Audrey looks lovely in that picture.

I've let it get so junky that I would be embarrassed for anyone to see it. Not very chic is that? So, I'm making it a room worthy of public viewing.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239488936038510294noreply@blogger.com
