(To make this tale of woe less painful for you, I'm inserting pretty photos of recent purchases.)
3 day weekends are now the standard for me. Thanks to The Recession, my firm (architectural, not law, thank god) has gone to a 4-day work week. Sounds awesome, but in essence is a 20% pay decrease. Not. Good.

It started in February, and it's a tentative thing (hopefully), so I've been hesitant to find a 2nd job. It's a great extension to the weekend, and I get a lot of the things that you hate leaving until the weekend (laundry, grocery shopping) done with 2 days to play. But then I get another horrible voice saying, 'Well today you've earned $0 and spend $50. Hm. Good plan.' and I want to essentially do nothing but sit still and not spend money. Not a very good plan either.

So. If the weather looks good tomorrow I'm going to take a ton ton of photos and just beef up the shop until my eyes are crossed. I somehow can't curb the thrift shopping, so I'll hopefully use it to generate some side cash.

Look for new stuff soon, and wish me luck that I won't waste tomorrow by going to Ikea and Target.

I love that ice bucket!!!! and the dress!
Sorry to hear of your reduction in hours at work. I went to your shop and it seems your sales have been pretty good. Hopefully with more inventory you will have more sales. I was reduced to a 4 day work week in December just for the 4 weeks. I put it to good use and volunteered that day in my 1st graders classroom. It was nice to see the teacher in action and get to know the students better.
