A few recent details from my life…more on Flickr.  Even more if you’re on my contact list! 

My new dishes…I think I have a theme color:

Delivered to my office…told my co-workers they were for a “Halloween costume.”  Nice thing about being a pervert, is that ANY DAY can be Halloween!

Check out my new closet!:

Clearly, Fetch (the service bottom) quickly figured out how to label boxes with information that would be meaningful to me.

I’ve been tagged by GR-E.G.!

The Rules are:

1. Link to your tagger and list these rules on your blog.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog—some random, some weird.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blog.
4. Let them know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

Okay, here’s my 7 random facts…

1. I am completely obsessed with my hair.  I consider the $ I spend on fancy shampoo and conditioner to be part of my “fun” spending money each paycheck, because I love love love my hair and go out of my way to treat it well.  I have the shiniest hair I have ever seen on a curlygirl, and I also have the softest hair of anyone I have ever met.  It’s an investment that I find well worth making.
2. I love looking at shoes, and I like wearing them for short stints, but if I could go barefoot all the time, I totally would.
3. I will do anything for my family, but I am not close to my relatives.  My family is a chosen one, and we are “hide the body” friends: you know, the people you can call up and say, “I need to hide a body,” and the only question they ask is, “Should I bring my own shovel and stop by Starbucks on the way over?”
4. I was scared off from topping for 7-8 years due to a bad topping experience.  I am finally re-opening that door.  It’s nice to realize that tops can safeword out of a scene, too.
5. I hold grudges forEVER against people who hurt my family, but am pretty forgiving toward people who hurt me.
6. I adore kids, and want to have them someday.  Sooner rather than later, honestly.
7. My gramma was probably the best person I ever had the privilege of knowing, and it makes me sad still sometimes that she hasn’t been able to see all of the Big Important Events of my life, and that there are so many more she won’t see.  She died 19 years ago (I was 10), and I still miss her regularly.  There was no love more complete than hers, and I wish that the people I love had the chance to meet her and bask in her glow.

I added an IM plug-in to the layout (check the right column), so if you’re dying to chat me up online, you can see when I’m connected. For some reason, the Google Talk status update doesn’t work, but I’m leaving it there in the hopes that it will, eventually.

Also, do you Twitter? You can follow me on Twitter by clicking here.

Brought to you from Michael…

“So let’s say your girlfriend is a few thousand miles away at a hotel on a business trip…

Yeah, so SORRY to whoever was in room 614.”

Best. Story. EVER.

More here.  You’ll need to be logged in and on my friends/family list to see most of them.  Not on my friends/family list?  Add me as a contact and I’ll probably add you back. 

Dear Universe,

I would like to request a Time-Turner for use during the remainder of the month of October. Between now and the end of the month, I need to:

• Pack my shit to move
• Move my shit
• Edit 3 photo sessions
• Travel to California for work for a full week starting TOMORROW
• Not get sick
• Get adequate sleep
• Not ruin my friendships due to being under a massive amount of stress
• Put in a full 40 hours at my job every week

As you can see, a Time Turner would be very useful for the remainder of my month. I realize that I now have an assistant/service-bottom to do some of these things for me, however, I also must make time to instruct him on what to do.

Please respond to my request for a Time Turner at your earliest convenience, as I would like to begin consolidating my schedule as soon as possible.

Regards,
Colleen

Hey, y’all. My company is sending me down to the bay area tomorrow, through next Thursday. This means that I am randomly going to be in town for the Butch-Femme.com bash, and on the company dime. Michael’s wife may have a friend who is looking to donate their registration, even! (Which, honestly, would prolly be the only way I’d get to go to the Bash itself, since I’m moving this month and am trying to be careful about my cashflow.)

Anyway, who’s in SF? Who’s there this weekend? Show me some lurve, let’s get together.

It has been suggested that perhaps I ought to consider investing in some canes.

I’ve been looking around online, and was really surprised to find that Babeland doesn’t appear to carry canes. I checked a few of the other usual suspects online (Goodvibes, Wild at Heart, Blowfish, JT Stockroom (is their website down?), Stormy Leather), and didn’t really find much selection any of those places (if they carried canes at all!)

So, I guess I have two questions:
1) Does Babeland carry canes in their stores, just not online?
2) Where do y’all go to do your cane shopping?

Helpful suggestions are most appreciated.
