Loose ends (mostly in black)

A couple of people have asked me what dress I got. My heavens! I never told you! This one! It was a little scary because I went to order it and it was gone. But I got on the live chat customer support at nordstrom.com and they found me one. Yay for them! It arrived while Sally was over on S's birthday, so we had a little fashion show. It fits quite well, especially since I got a Spanx Higher Power sucker-inner, too.

I also got some very sexy shoes. Alas, they are not on the nordstrom site anymore and I can't find you a picture. They have very high heels and open toes. Black patent leather with a shiny black rectangle over the toe.

Finally, my darling Dana is making me a necklace and earrings with black pearls and crystals. I can't wait to see it.

On to other matters, also in black: I found some figs at the Saturday farmer's market. They are black mission, not the Calimyrna I wanted, but I think 'tis the season. Calimyrnas come on earlier. Curses on a busy summer.

I am ditching the foster parenting class today in favor of getting ready for our homestudy this Friday and hanging out with my kids. So I guess I better get off the computer and get to work!
