Well, here I am, at home relaxing with my Tito's vodka martini, House Hunters International on the giant TV, thanking my lucky stars that I don't work in residential real estate anymore. 
YUCK!  I know that most people think it's totally easy peasy to take on residential real estate, but trust me when I tell you it is a damn nightmare.  Do you have any idea how picky people are?  The time spent on dealing with people's whims?  Watching someone actually make a decision on a $500,000 house based on an appliance that they love, or deciding against an apartment because they don't like the bathroom fixtures?  It's really overwhelming how little people actually know about construction and the ease of customization (hello, a coat of paint goes far!).   But, no matter what, I still love real estate.  it's definitely one of my passions- I love cruising real estate websites, I always pick up the local real estate paper, and I've been to a few open houses and time share pitches... just because I'm nosy.  Now, you don't have to be as crazy as I am- just watch this show- House Hunters is the perfect show for me- I can be a voyeur without all of the effort... but the international one is SO.much.MORE.Fun!!!!

So it was about 10 million degrees today in Arizona.  I only have today to run around and do errands, etc, since I'm off for a job tomorrow, and, thanks to the time difference and my stupid loyalty to United (well, it's not stupid, since I AM upgraded for my flight tomorrow!) I have to be off at 10AM so today was a bit hectic!  But.. the jumper.  So I put on one of my favorite go-to ensembles lately, a jumper.  I have a variety of jumpers.  Denim, linen, color block silk, leopard poly- when I find something I like, I stick with it!  So today I was rocking the Gap denim jumper and it was awesome.  comfy.  Heat resistant.  And, apparently, makes me very accessible, because everyone and their mother was talking to me today!  I'm not saying that I'm not a friendly face, because I know I am, but I really, truly think it's because a jumper is a weird thing to see a grown woman wearing!  It's like an adult in a child's outfit... but not creepy.  Cute.

So I've been cruising around all day, smiling at everyone, enjoying the perks of wearing a toddler's outfit.
Starbucks:
"Oh, it's 2:15 and we can't give you a treat receipt after 2?  That's okay!  Here's your stamp!"
Home Depot:
"Hi! Hi! HI! What are you looking for?  Can I get that for you?"
Delivery man:
Just did not get smile off his face!  Delivered coin-op washing machine in a tie because his delivery team was busy.  Then again, he could have just been Mormon... they're really nice.
Police at our property filing a report that someone from the MaidPro's ex husband violated parole by appearing on our property
"Oh, there's nothing to worry about!  Is that a toilet snake in your hand?  Here, let me help you unclog that toilet!"


okay I made the last one up.  Well, they really WERE at the property, but I unclogged the toilet myself.  REALLY!

So, after this crazy day of WORK and HEAT, I headed to my new favorite nail place for a much deserved mani-pedi.  And they totally rocked it.

Until my nail guy (who had just totally given me the best foot rub in a public place EVER) was finishing my manicure.. and I'm feeling so happy that everyone has been living for me all day even though I"m clearly not a teenager and there is a distinct possibility that I should retire my jumpsuit (as IF!) and my nails are just about perfect.. when suddenly..
"Why you file your nails round?"
"um.. how else should I file them?"
"Square!  Round is for old lady."


Well... maybe I'm an old lady.  But somehow, I don't think that a square tip french manicure is EVER going to work with my ensembles.  But it definitely gave me a giggle!

And, anyhow.. I can still rock a jumpsuit!

So today we'll look at beautiful photos of one-piece outfits.  Groovy....

The perfect romper that you don't have to be 3 months old to wear, at Saks Fifth Avenue....

The jumpsuit that you want to wear out when you just want to be AMAZING..but be careful that you don't let the sleeves drag when you cram into the bar bathroom in this gorgeousness!
