Better Today

Things are going a better today.  I am feeling better and I actually made it to my 7:30 am meeting on time because there was no traffic, which is the miracle of all miracles in Dallas.  The hubby apologized about the wine bottle incident yesterday so I have let that one go as well.  One thing I will say about my husband is that he is a great apologizer.  He likes to keep the peace so even when we fight (and even if I am completely in the wrong) he still usually ends us apologizing to set things right again.  I'm lucky to have someone like that b/c some men cannot bring themselves to apologize for anything (I have some coworkers like that and they drive me bonkers).

Since I was ticked off yesterday, I did a little online shopping.  I bought these shoes from JCrew:




This tote bag from Gilt:

Deux LuxeTote

and these earrings from Gilt:

Amrita Singh Earrings

I bought everything for my upcoming weekend trip to New Orleans.  The shoes and earrings are to go with this Ted Baker dress I bought on sale a few months ago and plan to wear on our anniversary dinner at Commander's Palace.

Ted Baker Dress

I rationalized the tote bag b/c I love the colors and it's made of a vinyl material so it's easily cleaned.  I have a cute striped canvas bag but I never want to set it on the ground (and definitely not in any New Orleans bars) b/c it gets so dirty so easily and then has to be washed and hung to air dry.

Now, if only the items will get here in time....
