Tropical . Shitty . Me
May 15, 2008

Currently I feel extremely unsettled because I know I'm going to move in 3 and a half months but still haven't found a new home, annoyed because I'm always annoyed when I live in The Netherlands, sad because my dearest friend is going through a really rough time, irritated because I have an eye infection and my eye keeps twitching which is driving me mad, tired because of the heat (the other day I mailed a friend complaining about the weather and said to her that I hate how some people always complain how people from tropical climates are always so lazy. You can't help it but tropical weather just makes you feel lazy!! So I told her I was going for a nap and be tropical) and I also just want to scream, yell and sing really loud but I can't because it will bother my neighbors ... God I'm glad I'm going to move!!!

There, meet shitty me!

What do I do when I feel shitty? I buy stuff ... I'm not really proud of it but it's something that makes me extremely happy and it's my second guilty pleasure after food.

I bought a slipcover for my Ikea Ektorp sofa from Bemz.

It's fantastic how a new slipcover can change a sofa and a grumpy woman. I picked the Classic Ruta Eggshell Blue because it fits so perfectly with the blue in that Cath Kidston fabric on the footstool and in the curtains.

This is not the only thing I bought (it's not that easy) I'll be posting a bit more about my shopping in the next few days. Maybe it will inspire you, maybe it will get you through a shitty phase.

Something that will definitely get you through a shitty phase is the BooBoo napping. Boo's always tropical, she's living the life!!
