So it's been supernaturally hot here for a few days and this weekend, in a panic, I started doing the dreaded seasonal clothing move. My DD and I got through the shoes and hanging clothes and then I begged for mercy. I could not move on to the folded stuff. It's exhausting. Especially when everything I've taught her for 13 years has started to come back at me ..... and she has watched way too many "What Not to Wear" episodes and forced me to throw stuff out. I know it's for the best (really, I hadn't worn the stuff for years!) but I don't have the money right now to buy new stuff! I recently bought this Jcrew cabana dress, primarily for a cover-up but now I am wondering if I can wear it layered over a tank for everyday wear. And I did get it in this color -- I figured it won't show stains (i'm always thinking about this!) and I could make it look cool with accessories. Of course, it's not this short on me. Oh, and I LOVE that it has pockets!! I wish I could find more dresses with pockets.

So last night's jewelry party was really nice. As always the food and drink were great, and the jewelry so pretty. I love the 3 necklaces here but ended up with the earrings which of course, I am wearing today! (am I the only one that wears stuff immediately after buying it?)
Getting dressed this morning was a challenge. A. it started out at 39 degrees and is going up to 70 B. I still haven't unpacked from San Diego!

Jewels

I tried to plan a jewelry party for a friend of mine tonight, and it was amazing to me how many people could not (would not?)come. A. everyone I know is super busy and B. no one has any money .....

but her stuff is beautiful, check it out at www.artofthebead.com

Kevyn Aucoin The Liquid Airbrush Foundation




My skin is gorgeous with this stuff, but be aware, it goes on much better with a primer (I'm using Smashbox). Most days I just use my Bare Escentuals mineral foundation but on days I want to look really polished, this foundation is the bomb! (did I really just say that? God, I sound like a 20 year old.)And you only need really less than one pump for your whole face.

it's the economy, stupid

Haha, it took me a good 5 minutes to figure out how to do a new post. DUH. So things are doing so well at the office that all of us are thinking about getting part time jobs. And I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't tell DH yet because he will bombard me with 1001 ideas for building this business up. Hello?? The entire economy is shot to hell at the moment!! Finally I'm not blaming myself and thinking that I am a complete failure. (Well, I may feel that way tomorrow again.)

Maybe a good day after all

Can't stop coughing and we're going to San Diego tomorrow and DD is sneezing and coughing too! BUT I did get a gift of an order today so somehow that always makes everything better. I was hoping to leave early today ...... so much to do with packing and getting the house in order before we leave. All the Passover stuff is out -- ugh, don' t really want to come home to that!

Whoa what have I done????

I've been so bored at work that I decided (at 48 years old, no less) to start a blog .....What???!! Apparently I am VERY bored. I haven't written on a regular basis in 20 years, so the blank page is daunting to say the least.

So it's Friday and this weekend I need to do some major Spring cleaning. Somehow getting my closet in order tricks me into thinking my life is in order! nah, I think it will just help me get dressed in the morning in something OTHER than jeans and a black JCrew perfect fit T.
