Outbreak!!!! Quarantine !!!!

We went down to visit my mom in the skilled nursing unit on Saturday. When we got there, a sign was posted on the door that said that the facility was under quarantine for Norovirus. That's the bug that causes the stomach flu. So we were only allowed to go in and say Hi without touching anyone or anything. She looks a little bit better every time I see her. We said hello, and then scrammed outta there. On the way home, we stopped at a Filipino deli called Pinoy.

I had ribs Adobo, some pork dish, rice, and pancit. It was delicious, and the portions were huge. Then, we passed by Irvine Spectrum, an outdoor mall that I have never gone to. Doc wanted to go to Barnes and Noble. We noticed that the parking lot was absolutely jammed, but didn't think much of it. It turns out that the Macy's down there was going out of business. They were basically giving stuff away. The pickins were getting slim, but I did snag two tops.

The first one is made by New York Collection. It's deep forest green with shiny silver dots all over it. The back has a tie neckline, The second one is made by Style and Co.

It's a nubby sweatshirt style, with a gold and silver metallic houndstooth pattern, and a chiffon hem.

There was a group of 6-8 ladies there in hijab. They were handing out long stem roses and were doing a public relations event called Meet a Muslim. They were all very beautiful and very welcoming.

Each rose came with a lovely quote by the Prophet Muhammad. It was a very sweet gesture.


When we got home, my new Ipsy bag was in the mail. Ipsy is similar to Birchbox, and I figured that I would try it, since I love Birchbox, and I don't subscribe to any magazines anymore. Here's what I got -  by the way, Ipsy is also $10 per month.

I got a cosmetics pouch, and the following itmes:

1) A TheBalm Mr Write Now eyeliner
2) Coastal Scents Pearl Shadow Angle Brush
3) Mitchell and Peach body cream in English Leaf
4) City Color Cosmetics Eyeshadow Trio in Falling Leaves
5) pur-lisse Blue Lotus 4 in 1 Eye Adore Serum

So lately, I have been getting a birthday card almost every day from our CPA. I figured he was joking around with me since I have known him so long.

Then I received this card in the mail.

HAAAAAA. And who, you might ask, is Nacho Tango?

Darrel's chihuahua, and Elli's newest crush.

So what am I wearing today?  (Pssst ..  the color of the day is silver)

My new green blouse with the silver dots, and old ivory slacks. For my necklaces, I doubled up.

A long Swarovkski chain, and the shorter one that I got at Ann Taylor in Orlando.Since the pants are very long, I debuted my very tall Coach shoes.

They are surprisingly comfy. And that's about all for today, except a bunch of links. Melissa at www.mahogany-closet.com has Mahogany Closet Monday.
