  • Okay I think some of today’s collections are some of the cutest ever! See that little squaty guy over on the right, I think he’s my favorite with his cool glass insert top and tiny stature. I want to say thanks for all the support about the ribbon jar. I’m still so small that I really do celebrate every order and pack it up with love. I love reading comments on the orders like, “I loved shopping your site it’s so cute,” “You have the best ribbon I’ve ever seen,” or “Oops, mis-calculated, send me more ribbon!” It’s still so much fun for me, no matter how overwhelmed I feel sometimes. To top it all off lately people have been linking me in there blogs, this is so awesome!! I still would really love to see one of my jars in someones space so if you’ve bought one show me a picture! I miss my babies that go to new homes. I wanted to make sure that all my readers knew I’m having a big sale over at my shop, so check it!

  • So the party went pretty well. I got these amazing nylons that you MUST try. They are the best for avoiding VPL (visible panty lines). They’re called Spanx, and they totally rock. They almost rock too much. I got some at the last minuet because they are foot less, and really control toppy. The thing is they shrunk me like too sizes, so much so that I could literally pull my pants off with out unzipping them. Good thing I had a really long and tight top that help the pants stay up, because a belt wasn’t an option. The top was this one I have from high school, by Tadashi. It goes with this really fancy satin skirt, which I knew would be too much for this party so I paired it with the pants instead. I had some ho hum black high heels and a little leather purse that has seen better days, but the thing is, it was really dimly lit in there, YES! I also had a wrap. My mom had bought one from Nordstrom once then we went to the fabric store and managed to make a really awesome copy. It’s held up pretty well so I wore that.

    The event was in the Portland Art Museum, the newly remodeled section. A super cool ballroom. Thank goodness it was carpeted, it made it so much easier on my feet. Bj’s company’s color is orange, so there was orange everywhere, but in a really cool way. We had cocktails (well I had mocktails since I don’t drink, and there were no limit to virgin drinks, whoo hoo) and dinner, buffet style. Bj won a gift certificate to Powell’s so we went there yesterday. I got an awesome book on Christo and Jean Claude, on the Gates project. They had gambling with fake money, but I don’t gamble. I don’t really like how so many parties are just about drinking and gambling, but it was fun to meet some of Bj’s co-workers. All and all not such a bad night. Oh, the funniest thing was they had all these cakes with periodic table elements and their respective numbers on them. Some of the “geeker” tech guys were checking the numbers with the element letters and making sure they were right. They were quizzing each other on them, hilarious. The cake sucked though.

    Sorry about all  the zit talk before, I really was  serious that it was my worst ever. But I hope I didn’t loose any readers over it, my grandma, at least was a little taken aback. ๐Ÿ™‚

  • Ya, I defiantly do not feel like a million bucks, that’s for sure. I have a really yucky cold which is just fantastic, a zit the size of the Titanic and to top it all off I get to go to Bj’s big company party tomorrow and meet everyone for the first time, yay! No seriously though, if you saw this zit, you would pity me. This is maybe to graphic, but I popped it and there was (no joke) an inch long hair inside all curled up… ON MY FACE! So now I have a gaping hole on the side of my face that is currently covered with a band aid, think it will heal by tomorrow? Or the redness from my nose will go away? Or I’ll stop sneezing every 10 seconds? Ya, neither do I. Crap.
