I missed the update email somehow so I'm a little late. I hate that all those things are kicking your butt, but glad you have great support, and even more importantly, the strength of being a total kick-ass person. You didn't get that way without getting kicked by many things in the past -- we all know you conquered one huge brain challenge that very few of us will ever have to face. But hey, if that many things are kicking your butt at the same time, perhaps a butt shield that kicks back is in order. One with a size 16 steel-toed boot. (Avoid this method for Scraps though.)

I get the desire to keep a name-based link with Truckla, but--missed opportunity to call it Volva [ifyouknowwhatimean]. ALAS. maybe next time. sorry to hear about all the troubles, but glad to see you've got people around you to help keep you up. and the wallpaper does indeed look great.

Everybody has some melodrama, from time to time. We're here as your counselors, and we'll get paid in videos and Scraps photos (once every now and then is completely fine).

Could you do a video eventually of a review of your new electric car, compare and contrast Truckla & Volvla, public charging experiences, etc.? Sorry to heart about your breakup...um, I'm single, but I live on the east coast, so probably not very practical even supposing I had a shot, lol :)

Thank you for sharing such personal life things with us Simone, that means a lot. I love the wallpaper and especially LOVE the asparagus costume! Life definitely knows the best way to kick us in the butt, but (heh) you will get back up form this. It'd be nice to not be knocked down in the first place, but i dont think they've invented something to stop that yet... extra cushioned trousers maybe?

Always love to read those little window-into-my-life-posts. Thanks for sharing! Maybe it's time to make an “If life hands you lemons”-lemonade machine?! But I guess that's called a blender. IDK

I'm currently trying to remove layers on layers of wallpaper that's been painted over. It's put me off the stuff for the foreseeable future 😅 It sounds like you've been having a wild time lately. Hope things start to settle down a bit. Also sorry to hear about the breakup. Never a good time 😔 Not sure if it'll make you laugh or bring despair but my phone auto suggested election when typing "sorry for your " 😅😅

Dave Williams

Which mom? :)

Natalie Greco

If only things happened one thing at a time. Instead it always waits until it can really pile it on. Though I have no doubt you’ve got this. Just might take a bit to find that path through.

Mike Pezaro

I feel dizzy just reading that! Here are some stock responses, attach them to subjects as you see appropriate : *hugs* *LOL* *Congratulations* *That looks / sounds awesome* *That looks / sounds awful* *you got this!!*

Ken Harvey

Oh my!! That's a lot of life to deal with all at once! Take care! OTOH such wallpaper! Your mum AND Diane? With added Scraps? Just awesome!

Anne ROBERTZ

Love and courage! Also, thank you for making wallpaper feel cool. Seems I've entered that stage of my life as well and was wondering what to think of it or feel about it 😁🤣😂

Daryl Shaw

That's a whole lot of life happening all at once. You've got this. The wallpaper is absolutely stunning, I really like the half & half with the chair rail.

Joe Langley

A most excellent asparagus hat!

Lisa

The wallpaper definitely looks very stylish and I had to grin when I saw your costume. Tough times suck but you‘re always smarter afterwards, which is kinda cool! You rock, Simone 😎

Anna Johnston

The room looks great. If you are still in Las Vegas, the Neon Museum was awesome. I think you’d enjoy it.

ERIC JENKINS

you are amazing. thanks for all the humour (I am in Canada so I spell it correctly). there is a theory that everyone's pee smells with asparagus but only some can smell it. How many other people's pee have you smelled? Dianna is not a whole lot older than you, you are just a kid.

Eric Friedman

Love the Halloween costume! Var stark!

Sherry Carrero

Love is complicated. Take care of yourself and Scraps, and the rest will work out. Also, I ♥️ the wallpaper.

Natalie Scott

Single is good! You're gonna be okay. And the wallpaper is gorgeous.

Hope Kasheke

Good to hear from ya, excited for the video I'm sure it'll be great 😊

Blitzar Whistle-Stop

You and your mom should make some popcorn and watch "Death By Wallpaper: The Hidden Killers In The Victorian Home | Hidden Killers | Absolute History" on youtube.

Simone Giertz

Thanks for getting a set!!

James

That Hanson print was a tribute on van Gogh's "flowering plum orchard" painting. Certainly sounds like a bit of a ride, give your mum a big hug, struggle hugs from mums certainly make things better. ❤️

Tree Carcass Mangler

That's what I thought too, and I thought, "typical Simone..."

Tree Carcass Mangler

Wow lots to go thru at once. But remember, you have endured much greater tumult. These things may seem overwhelming in the moment. But in the big scheme of your life, these challenges are all relatively small potatoes. #sendbriantoantarctica

dbryte

I did a double-take, I first thought u named ur new car, Vulva🤣

Julie Ledon

Everything sounds so exciting, potentially overwhelming but let's not think of it, ha! Wishing the best, always good to know what you're up to. And that wallpaper looks amazing! 🔥

Robert Blum

We just put up wallpaper for the first time ever earlier this year. It’s not a life stage thing, it must be a new trend!

semanticboat

Sounds like you're doing the butt kicking! I got them dice and have started watching Laura Kampf because of the videos you did together, she's awesome!

Steve Norby

Oh shoot! November 1st already happened! Happy belated birthday 🎂❤️

Maarten Daalder

Hopefully the store is kicking your butt in the way of "I'm going to have to expand, again"

RG

Also, that pic of Scraps made me smile. I don't know how international smiles to strangers count in the balance though

VS

Change isn't easy, hope you can take a breather after your speech, take care of yourself and spend more time with your mom <3 wallpaper looks great, although creeps me out because it looks like the wallpaper from "sharp objects" lol

Heather Rose

Oh Simone! What a full season. Sending you love daily with my Every day calendar. Best thing ever! Thank you for putting yourself out there and sharing your work with us.

RG

Wallpaper looks great! I also love that the you in the painting looks like its making reverence to the table, which is very meta :) Enjoy your mom! hope she can help with all the melodrama of current things and that life gets less dramatic soon

Taylor Pridgen

Jag gillar den där... wallpaper. I hope things continue to get better and better.

Matt Godbolt

Aww sounds like a heck of a time! It'll all be up from here :)

JohnBeez

Dining room looks so nice 👍

Simone Giertz

I could only do it with expert help AKA my mom

Simone Giertz

Can't believe I have a real wallpaper designer here!

Jeff

Also, yikes! I doubt if I could hang wallpaper that was in a solid color let alone that pattern!

Brita DellaBarca

Much love 💕

Tessa

Wallpaper looks great! I'm designing wallpaper for a brand right now and they sent me that exact plum branch one as a reference. Also: Yetch Store Wallpaper When?
