Friday Hooray

Finally, the end of the week. It has been a rough week for Pandi. She came home from work yesterday with some kind of twisted or sore neck. She would squeak when I touched it. So we have to be very gentle with her and let her rest.

I was all concerned about her last night, so I didn't get an outfit ready. I resorted to wearing one of my super comfortable Antthony Designs pants sets.

This time, it was the black and red version. I wore the purple one a couple of weeks ago.

I wore the silver braided necklace that my mom gave me for my birthday a couple of years ago.

On my left arm, a Brighton bracelet and a white gold wedding set.

On my right arm, the same Italian silver bracelet that I wore yesterday, along with a mother of pearl ring.

This weekend, we are going up to Pasadena for Doc's birthday. The actual birthday is not until the end of the month, but the Rose Bowl Flea Market is the first Sunday of every month, so we are celebrating a little early.

Oh the Shark Bites, and the Bee Stings

Before I explain, let me show you what I wore on Tuesday :

This is a Liz Claiborne blouse and a Merona silk skirt. I have never worn this combo together before.

It just so happens that I had a necklace that matches exactly. Who would have thought?

I thought that a gold chain belt would be the perfect touch.

On my left arm, my yellow gold wedding set and a turquoise/tanzanite bracelet.

On my right arm, a gold bracelet, and a topaz/marcasite ring.

So why didn't I post yesterday? First of all, my outfit was a total fail and my pictures looked like I was 23 months pregnant. I don't even have much of a gut in real life. Then, Pandi stepped on a wasp during our nightly walk. She went crazy - crying and biting at the lump and just being in general agony.
After trying to calm her down, and looking for a stinger (there was none), I finally gave her some Benadryl to calm her. She is ten pounds, so a little less than half a tablet is the dose.

It worked. She fell asleep and in the morning, she was back to her old self.

Emergency averted. This is what I am wearing today :

This is a sweater dress from Neiman Marcus. Also, the first wearing of the JC Penney suede boots that I have had for years.

I wore three silver herringbone chains. I have a fourth one, but I decided that would be too much.

On my right arm, a topaz/moonstone ring and a silver tone costume bracelet with crystals.

On my left arm, an Italian silver bracelet and a white gold wedding set.

Ole, Benise

Last night, I went to a concert with my friend. We saw the Spanish Guitar legend, Benise. I had never heard of him before, but I am willing to try almost anything once, so off we went. I really enjoyed it - he is a fabulous artist, and the entire program, dancers and all, was wonderful. Of course, I wore a themed costume. It was funny, my friend wore all black with red accessories also.

This is a skirt by Clio, a no name sweater tank, and Valentino shoes.

I tossed on a black lace shawl in case the venue was chilly. Doc said that I shouldn't wear black so close to Halloween, but obviously, I didn't listen.

The skirt has some nice ribbon and flower detail at the waistline.

I wore a red pendant for a touch of not black.

On my left arm, my yellow gold wedding rings and a ruby bracelet.

On my right arm, a ruby cocktail ring and a garnet bracelet.

Here is a picture of the venue, the Cerritos Center  for the Performing Arts. This is the third show I have seen there. There isn't a bad seat in the place.

Earlier in the day, I made a little bouquet from Doc's herb garden and brought it to a neighbor.

Today, back to work. This is what I wore.

This is a Joseph A chiffon top and a knit skirt from Apt 9. I am wearing two necklaces - a long chain with tassels and a shorter chain, both costume.

On my left arm, a stretchy crystal bracelet from Saks, and my yellow gold wedding rings.

On my right arm, a stretchy plastic bracelet.

Here is a better look at my necklaces.

See you all later this week!! Have a good Monday, and blessings and prayers for those affected by the terrible incident in Las Vegas.

Angels in the Sky

Well, I missed my usual Friday post. We had a two day work event, and since we had to wear jeans and a company logo T shirt, I have no outfits to show you. But I'll tell you a couple of things.

First of all, I ordered a sofa from Wayfair on September 9. They took my money and I have not heard from them or received my sofa. So I called on the 21st, and after 34 minutes on hold, they told me that someone would be calling back in a day or two. No such luck. After I got home on Thursday, I called them. It was now 9/28. After 1 hour and 22 minutes on hold, the customer service representative told me she would be researching my problem and would be calling me back the next day. No such luck. But I wisely asked for her name and extension. So I called her back.

CSR : This has never happened to any of our customers ever before.
ME : So that's why there are so many people calling that the hold time was 1 hour and 22 minutes.

CSR : I have deemed your sofa as lost.
ME: I heard the FBI is hiring. With those mad deductive skills, you should apply.

CSR : We are sending out a new one. It will be there by October 25.
ME : The delighted man in your commercials just snaps his fingers and his dining room set appears.
          You did not call me back, like you PROMISED you would.

CSR: We were busy.
ME : Because no one ever has problems with their order but me? Or because there were donuts at the  office?

CSR: I take full responsibility. I want to earn your trust.
ME: You already blew it.

CSR: I promise I will call you on Monday with an update.
ME: If you don't , then I will call you and I will be even more irritated with  you.

So, we will see if I ever get my sofa. Probably not. Or maybe I will get two of them. I can tell you that I will be writing to this billion dollar company and will never buy anything from them again. It's supposed to be 2 day free shipping. 2 month free shipping is how it's going to end up.
DON'T BUY ANYTHING FROM WAYFAIR. THEY ARE AWFUL.


So, after that, I went running in HB Central Park to try and shake off the bad mood.

The calm surroundings and the beautiful birds did the trick.

Also, Breitling is having an airshow here in Huntington Beach , and the Blue Angels have been rehearsing all week.

Check out the loop and the contrails. The picture below is four jets flying wing to wing.

This is hard to see - it's all four jets doing a death dive together. They are very loud.

Doc's herb garden is growing quickly. Last night, I made some bouquets. I needed to thin the bushes out a bit.

This is English lavender, rosemary, oregano,  and basil.

I tied them together with a ribbon and hung one from each bed post, so that when we are laying down, we can smell the lovely aroma.

For dinner, I made smoked sausage on hash browns, with sauteed onions and peppers. There is shredded cheese and sour cream on the top. 

I served it with homemade sweet and sour red cabbage.

And that's all. The Wayfair problem is really bothering me. It doesn't help that they show a commercial every five minutes.

Tomorrow night, I am going to see Benise in Spanish Nights at the Cerritos Center for Performing Arts. My friend and I are wearing Spanish inspired costumes. So I will finally have something to show you. Until then, I will link this post anyway, so my blogger friends may get a hit or two.

What's Black and White and Red All Over ?

Remember this old joke? Well, today the answer is not the newspaper, it's me !! We will start with what I wore yesterday:

This is a black scuba dress with ivory Venice lace by Jax. I got it at Saks.

I haven't worn these Leopoldo Giordano sandals in a long time, but they do match perfectly.

Both necklaces were my mom's. The lacy medallion has an interchangeable center - the other one is lapis.

On my right arm, an amethyst ring, a diamond tennis bracelet and a silver bracelet.

On my left arm, an Italian silver bracelet, a sapphire/diamond band, and a white gold solitaire. Most of these pieces on my arms were also my mom's.

Today, a much more casual look. This jersey knit dress is by Ivanka Trump.

It has a draped detail with a gold zipper on the right shoulder. The necklace is costume.

On my right arm, my CDC and a ruby cocktail ring.

On my left arm, a tricolor gold bracelet and my yellow gold wedding set.

So let's link up !!
