bonus, shopping, lens and a freebie!
Monday, January 23, 2006
Today was a looong day. But hey, it was a fantastic loooong day! Had to stay late at the office today to finish a report, but I also got my HUGE bonus today!!! Woohoooo!!! I'm not poor, I'm not poor!!! LOL!!! Man, it feels so fcuking great to know that I can pay my bills AND still shop. teehee!
Speaking of shopping, I got 7 grand poorer over the weekend. I spent Saturday at the mall with my friends, and I just couldn't help myself. First off, there was a sale at Mango and I just had to have this ultra cool black shirt with vintage cowboy tags on it (there's a photo somewhere below this post...). Then I saw this fabulously classic and elegant black 3-inch stiletto pumps at Nine West that is really a must in every woman's shoe wardrobe. Oh perfection!!! It was definitely a shoe moment. Know what I mean? A shoe moment is that point when you put your foot in the shoe, and BAM! It fits. It is just right. It is pure bliss. You had to have it. It was meant for you. Something like a shoe orgasm. Anyhoo, I was trying to recall what else I bought, and realized that it was really just those two things. And those two things already set me off by 7 grand?! Shit. But I have no regrets. It was a much needed retail therapy, so my mental health is in stable condition.
Then I finally got my Canon 50mm 1.8 lens last weekend! Oh wow, it is just amazing!!! I will let my photos speak for themselves...
I totally LOVE it!!! And isn't Chloe such a cute patootie?!?! And such a smart little kid too. Obviously takes after her aunt. She's already memorized her alphabet and she can count all the way to 24 before she goes back to 11. LOL!!! As usual, the minute she saw us last weekend, she was all smiles and saying "Hiiiii!" in her singsong voice. Too stinkin' cute!!!
Sunday night was the birthday dinner of my sister in law, and they planned a surprise cowboy party for her, in honor of Brokeback Mountain. LOL! I sooo enjoy these things so I had to dress the part. Check me out!
Authentic enough? LOL!!! And I wore my new ultra chic shirt from Mango. I couldn't find a cowboy hat in the mall, so I had to make one myself. Not bad eh? My mother in law says I have talent. LOL!
Ok, and lastly, before I head off to bed, I finally got some freebies done. I already posted this over at RAKScraps yesterday. It should also be available at YouniquePhotos sometime soon since I emailed these to Lynnie earlier today.
Bling blings seem to be the latest thing in digiscrapping (and flowers!) so I happily joined the bandwagon and made these. The petals and the gems are interchangeable, or you can use just the gems or just the petals. You can download these jeweled petals HERE. Oh, and just 5 more days before the element team members for RAKScraps are announced. Please please please!!!I promise not to buy any new shoes this year if I get in the team. I promise to be good!!! LOL!!!
Alright, I'm off to bed. I hope you guys had a fab weekend! G'night!!! Smoochies!!!
