12 January
It is so warm! I'm wandering around in a tank top and sandals, listening to reports on the incredible cold in the Northeast.
I'm feeling a little guilty about the emails I send to my friends back home crowing about the fact that it's 80°. Those chickens will come home to roost pretty soon.
So yesterday went to church, then had lunch at Dupar's before going to the sale at Jana's.
Jana's is this great boutique that Mom has been shopping at for years and years, she gets great things for both herself and me there. It may be the only really fashionable store on the planet earth that has clothes that will fit me amongst the more normal-sized fare.
So they were having their big yearly sale, with a wall of clothes at 20% off, a wall of clothes at 50% off, and a rack of clothes at 70% off, and I started looking vaguely around, not really expecting to find anything, but on the 50% wall I found a great sweater that looks like Neapolitan ice-cream with a daisy on the left shoulder. I tried it on and it fit perfectly!
Then I started looking through the 70% rack, and found a long skirt that was sized large, but looked as though it would fit, and this really neat silk elasticized asymmetrical blouse, and they both fit!. All three together added up to less than $100!
I also really wanted this red leather fringed purse on the $70 rack that was originally $140, but Mom said that I have enough purses and didn't want to buy it for me.
So the saleslady put everything in a bag while Mom carried on trying on things. She decided not to buy anything, and was about to pay for my stuff when we realized, the bag was gone! The saleslady had accidentally given it to the Ann Miller look-alike who had just paid for her purchases! Sound familiar? Can someone explain to me why this keeps happening to me?
This was different than the Macy's comforter debacle, because it's a small shop that knows their customers, so they called the woman and left her a message explaining that she has items that are not rightfully hers. We were very calm about it, I mean, I wasn't planning on wearing any of these items immediately, and I am not going home until Saturday.
I'm kind of hoping that they give me that cute purse to apologize for giving my clothes away.
I already sent this out to my notify, but I want as many people as possible to be involved. Please, I need your help!
So you designers out there, I hope that this sounds interesting. Horror themed, but don't feel that you have to stick to the blood-dripping letters or the gothic script, although I'd like to see that as well. Omar is thinking white with green and flowery lettering, I don't know where he gets that, but it's a thought. Basically, if you can make graphics and have an idea, I'd love to see it. I'll put your name in the programme and send you a t-shirt with your graphic on it as a prize.
I hope some people are interested, because otherwise I'll have to design it myself, and that REALLY would be scary!

Not from December, but a new, intensely beautiful entry from Renee. She's come such a long way.
Today's
horoscope:
You run a clean shop. You have the best material and the most believable reasons. Luckily for the less organized, you're happy to handle their business. If you get rich in the process, so much the better.
One year ago today:
I whispered to Marie that I've seen Wende drunk many a time, and except for the falling off the bar stool, she was giving a pretty accurate impression of herself!
