I’m back from my trip. A quick update:

Heidi’s baby shower was so fun. We did NOT play “seven minutes in Heaven” but it was otherwise perfect and Heidi got hooked up in a serious way. She and I both research the hell out of everything before we buy it and I’m pretty pumped that she’s done all the baby research, because I will want nothing to do with that when that time comes. She’s is currently writing a manual and I’m hoping to share a few of those items with you soon. Here’s one for example: a cheapo crib from Walmart that is up to Heidi’s tough organic, chemical-free, toxic-free standards (seems like a reasonable standard):

I’m not exactly in the market for one of these, but I’m thinking about buying one anyway for extra seating when we have guests. She tells me it’s just too good of a deal to pass up. The gray one is out of stock, but they keep restocking it. I also like the navy one. I can’t believe what people pay for baby stuff. $1000 for a crib?

Anyway, so I’ve been out of town for work and got extra work while I was there. It’s my favorite situation: a quick closet re-do and lots of clothing deletions: this time, I got lots of Chanel, Phillip Lim, and Gucci. I had to borrow Heidi’s suitcase to get it all home. I take a commission and they get to rid of stuff they don’t wear and don’t want to just give away to Goodwill.   Even more importantly, I got the contact for the daughter of the Dallas Cowboys so I’m guessing that will be a great person to get to know, to say the least.

I figured I’d unpack and organize all these new treasures before I start on more crafty projects around the house. I did want to let you know about these rings I’ve had for a while. I kind of forgot about them, but got tons of compliments (even from strangers!) while I was out in LA. They’re pretty simple rings, so I was surprised by that. I did lots of research and thought these were the best price for the quality of gold. $30 for 4 stackable rings?!! I bought this set (with 3 straight and one curvy ring).

They’re gold filled wire and I’ve had them for a year or two and they’ve never tarnished, turned color, or sprouted a diamond (unfortunately). LOOK AT HOW AMAZING THESE ARE!

That’s all for today. I’m exhausted from my Beekeepers of Dallas meeting last night (I’m serious) and have to choose an outfit to wear to a whisky tasting tonight to make it look like I haven’t been sitting all day at my laptop in yoga pants with 15 candles going with the music turned up way too loud. You know the look. And yes, I have my fake glasses on. I can’t be bothered to put my fake contacts in.
