Satisfies.

I have this dress.... that I have a love-hate relationship with.  It's got a surplice neckline which my husband loves, but makes me feel like I'm lactating.  Some days I'm good with the earth-mother mood that the top-heaviness engenders, and at other times I go to Forever 21 and buy a new outfit in the middle of the day.  Voici...

Bomber:  Marshall's.  Top:  Forever 21. Skirt:  Forever 21.  Tights:  Gift.  Shoes:  Miss Bisou.

Today was a great day at work, despite!  I recently bought a voice recorder last week and have been taking it with me on my breaks to record snippets of funny stories, jokes and one-liners.  Today marks my 38th joke, and I figure that should be enough to harangue a crowd for the requisite 5 minutes, so... I plan to go to an open-mike night in Columbus this up-coming week and try my hand at some stand-up comedy. 

Ring: Forever 21.

I have to credit my brother-in-law for instilling me with the courage to do such a thing... in fact, he's kind of started a wave amongst our friends.  Speaking of wave, best to duck if I'm wearing this ring when I want to say hello to someone.  I have not had great luck with two-finger rings on account of the whole not-just-fitting-one-finger-but-two-and-there's-no-interchangeableness-about-it thing, but me and this little zebra are a match made in accessory heaven.  I hope nothing ever happens to him, but as it most likely will now that I've written that, I'll now a) knock on my wooden desk  --knock, knock-- and b) enjoy the time that we have together, now. 

Giddyap,

Elissa.

Lyddie: Thank you and I KNOWW!!! I'm a sucker for animal stuff!

Eyeliah: I know how you feel; I used to be the same way but I was determined to break myself in, so to say so I trained myself to withstand rings for long periods of time, though, not without some initial discomfort!! Reading that now, I sounds like a true freak-a-leak!!
