I’m ba-ack. Which is to say, I’m laid off. But, in a fit of awesomeness, I got an offer for a full-time writing job two days before Chateau Elan put the kibosh on me (and about 50 others), so I was going to quit at the end of this week anyway. So, I no longer design wine labels (which is OK by me, it got a tad monotonous).
What I DO, at least starting Feb. 2, is write about handbags and other fashion-y things, which means I’m more or less as happy as a pig in shit. And I do this job from my house, which means that that pig is also going to be wearing sweatpants. Or possibly a muumuu; I’ve heard other full-time bloggers extoll the virtues of the muumuu. Where does one acquire a muumuu?
AND…(this is the real payoff here, folks)…it means I’m going to be oversharing here about my personal life once again, since I no longer have a job (and a hellish, 90-mile-round-trip commute) that sucks my soul out of my ass.
And also, I shall reignite my college affinity for “The Price is Right” and drinking in the afternoon. Although that part will probably have to be secret when I actually start working again. Shhhh.

H&M has a wide selection of muumuus. You’d be surprised.
I prefer to think of my muumuu as a long, flowing gown, the free form of which facilitates free-thinking. My thinking-gown. Yeah.
P.S. Update! Update!
