Breathing Again

White Wicker S Chairs

Today was such a nice day. I had my hair done and my stylist has become a personal friend and it is always such fun seeing her. I made a Costco run and they restocked on the Pho that I am literally addicted to. I bought 8 boxes. Met new neighbors - including two gorgeous Afghans with their owners. This neighborhood is VERY dog friendly.

Tomorrow the puppies are getting groomed and I am having a pedicure and manicure and then going to a Happy Hour a few doors up the street.

GG texted me jut now blaming me for his house looking like crap. 90% of the furnishings were mine, and apparently in his mind I was supposed to just walk away. It occurred to me he thought he could keep the dogs and furniture and decor and art.

To those worried about me, I am sleeping and eating and trying to return to normalcy. Normal seems weird I have been living in such a pressure cooker altered universe with GG.

I never made it to HG today, perhaps tomorrow. I am enjoying a lovely glass of wine on my lanai with so many sounds from the preserves.

These white wicker S chairs arrived today. For entertaining, I can mix them with my white Chinese Chippendale chairs with the Williams Sonoma Home Mercer table. They have a beachy mid century vibe I just love.

So, if you recall, I am using the extra large Mercer table styled with coffee table books and blue and white ginger jars and such like a library table for everyday use. For rare larger dinner parties, I will grab the Chinese Chippendale chairs from the breakfast room and the S chairs will be at the head and foot of the table.

  2. Love the chairs! Glad you had a lovely, relaxing day.
    Have you thought of getting a new phone and number so you can truly go no contact with GG? It works really well when you want the peace of mind knowing someone who behaves as he did cannot call or text.

  4. I love those chairs!
    Interesting that GG misses the furniture, but doesn't say anything about missing Beth.
    You should send him a link to Restoration Hardware or Pottery Barn and tell him to pick out anything he wants.

  5. Fun day! Before moving to Florida I owned a hair salon in Pennsylvania for over 35 years and my clients were also my friends. I still miss them! It’s a bond like no other.

    1. I agree completely. I was with my stylist in Alexandria forever. We went through so much in our lives together - births, deaths, divorce, you name it.
