Corpses In The Closet: Pink Peasant Top, Denim Boyfriend Shorts And White Converse

     First and foremost allow me to state that the corpses in the closet are not human. But yes, there are indeed corpses in my closet. Not old forgotten shoes or dresses I haven’t worn in decades, but those of my most feared enemies…birds. Yes, I’ll admit it. Birds freak me out. Almost as much as gargoyles. Fortunately there are not gargoyles in my closet.
     Somehow these vile feathered creatures made a nest in the wall of our house and my closet happens to be located on that particular outside wall. They’ve been chirpin’ it up in there and having parties with all of their friends for at least week. My poor miniature pinscher has spent hours (literally, hours) of her life standing in there staring at the wall behind my shoes. Well, finally the chirping stopped. Did they leave? No, of course not. Apparently they carried out some sort of avian suicide pact in my wall. And now I don’t hear them, I smell them. Oh yeah. It’s awesome. I’m currently trying to figure out what to do with all of my clothes until the smell dissipates because who wants to be around the girl who smells like dead birds?
     So, my good friend Maricel over at My Closet Catalogue chose me for a Very Inspiring Blogger Award. I just love her! Her wit and sense of humor crack me up on a daily basis. It’s probably best we live on opposite sides of the country because we have discovered that we have several of the same/similar items of clothing and if we taught in the same school there just might be a fashion smack down on a regular basis!

1. Thank and link the person who nominated you.
2. List the rules and display the award.                 
3. Share 7 facts about yourself.                            
  4. Nominate blogs that inspire you & comment so  
they know they have been nominated.          
5. If you don’t already, follow the blogger who      
nominated you.                                             
                                      
Hmmm…now for the seven facts:
     1. Based on today’s post you already know this. I’m terrified of birds. And gargoyles. The gargoyle thing is long story. Just trust me, they’re scary.
     2. My husband and I have been married to each other twice. Yes, two times. And I don’t mean we renewed our vows. We liked it so much the first time we did it again for a total of twenty years married to each other and still going strong.
     3. I’m not a natural redhead. Although I come from redheads and have the coloring for it, therefore it works.
     4. I can speak like white trash or the most highly educated professional you’ve ever met. I can turn either off and on at will. I’m pretty sure I have a split personality…btw, the white trash girl is way more fun.
     5. I have seven tattoos. And I’m not opposed to more…
     6. I once went spelunking when I was 12 years old, which is when I discovered I am very claustrophobic. Not the best time to find that out…
     7. I come from a biker family. I mean real bikers. The men wear leather, ride Harleys and look like Jerry Garcia.
     I have decided to nominate Claire at clairejustineoxox, Tara at Northern Lights-Southern Belles and Suzanne at Suzanne Carillo Style Files. Have at it girls!

Avian suicide! ROFL! I know, I know, it’s bad form to giggle at another’s misfortune, but that’s just a funny phrase. I do hope you solve your bird issue soon; does it require tearing down your wall? 🙁

So does your fear of birds mean that you won’t/can’t wear bird prints?

Haha! You’re funny…I actually have a bird tattoo, although it’s a phoenix so that’s not actually a real bird! I would wear a bird print if I found one I liked and then didn’t look in the mirror after I had it on….ha! It only required cutting out a small section of the wall and some powdered lime…

You just can’t go wrong with Converse! How awful about the birds…maybe an exterminator could remove the, er…remains?

Nope, Converse pretty much work across the board. My super awesome hubby was able to fix the problem, thankfully!

We had a suicidal possum under our house once, and had to call the Critter Removal Service, the smell got so strong. Thanks for sharing with Visible Monday, you look sassy and cool.

Oh that is not nice. What is up with them choosing your closet? You should have tipped them to go over to your husband’s closet. I personally love birds. We have had birds as pets. Our LoveBird Midas lived to be 16 years old and was smarter than the dog and so sweet. I miss him to this day. Such a character. Used to sit on my shoulder while I designed. I hope you don’t have a problem with flies now. Blech. You may have to start a whole new wardrobe! (I can see you jumping up and down now.… Read more »

I know…jerks. Unfortunately my closet is on an outside wall so I was the lucky winner. 🙂 Yes, we were married for 12 years, divorced for a few, then remarried. We’re idiots, what can I say?!

Yes you are too a natural redhead. You just fixed nature’s little oversight.
I always like what you wear, every time. Congrats, Gorgeous, on the award … I’m
honored to be in your good company.
On the run, but wishing you kids a groovy 4th.
