Happy Vinn-A-Versary !!!!

So Friday, November 6th, marked one whole year of Vinnie Barbarino Holtzman's living at Casa de Holtzman. So of course, we celebrated in style:


Double cheeeseburgers from Mickey D !!! Kenni, being the one who has lived with us the longest, knew what was gonna go down.




                               The other two culprits caught on once they smelled the aroma.


                                      Vinnie made quick work of his anniversary treat.



                              Hmm, I guess next time, I will have them hold the pickles!!!


Of course, we humans deserved a treat, as well. I bought two large boxes of Mrs Field's cookie dough from a neighbor kid, and so I baked up a few - half Rainbow Chip and half Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup.




   I have repeatedly said, and I'll say it again - Mrs Field's Cookies are the best ever!!!

Well, I started exercising again last Friday night, since my bad cold seems to be getting better. I lost 5 pounds on the Cup A Noodle diet. I worked out for an hour Friday, and then ran a light run on Sunday morning. I did feel better afterwards. My pants are held up with safety pins today. Beer and chips needed.

Wanna know what else made me feel better besides puppers, cookies, and Doc? Macy's sent me a 25% off coupon that was good only yesterday. I was looking for a dark colored tote bag, and so I picked up this Anne Klein beauty:



It is half black leather and half animal print. The animal side has the AK lion logo, and there is a gold plate. The hardware is gold and the lining is bright orange. It's exactly what I had in mind.

One of my coworkers said that she heard on the radio that El Nino was supposed to start on November 9th. And, just as predicted, we had a nice rain storm today that lasted about a half hour. Here's what I wore to greet Mr. Nino.


This is a Nipon Boutique jacket, along with Talbott's slacks and a Joseph A silk knit sweater. I got the jacket during the summer at the same clothing swap where I scored my Yves St Laurent blazer.




It's sort of a greenish-gray color, with fuzzy trim on the collar and pockets. Here's a look, without the jacket.


My Joan Rivers statement necklace was the perfect accompaniment to the look. It tied all the colors together.



                         On my right arm, my new sapphire ring, and a sapphire bangle.

 
          On my left arm, my yellow gold wedding rings and a gold and diamond dust bangle.


Even though I couldn't tell, I guess Elli had fun going into the office on Thursday. Here was her poor little face when Doc told her she couldn't go with him today.



                                             Then she tried to sneak into his bags.


                            Then, to top it off, it rained, and she had to put her pink sweater on.


                                              I know how you feel, my poor little Elli !!!!
