Yes, all of the catchy clichés apply right now…

When life gives you lemons… Make one heck of a lemon drop martini? Yes, please.

All of the catchy clichés apply right now. It’s been a few days since the last post and I know this is probably breaking some unspoken blogging rule, but rules are made to be broken, right? Oddly enough, life has been happening. The last few days have been a flurry of baby showers, champagne toasts, catching up with great friends, and cover letters. Not to mention Husband returned from a boys weekend in Vegas and the job search is now in full force.

To be quite honest, the Vegas trip had me worried at first. Not about silly things “happening in Vegas and staying in Vegas” (my husband is not that kind of guy and doesn’t have that kind of friends) but because of what life handed me last week. But everything happens for a reason, and it is with a smile that I can say “Thank you Las Vegas for paying our mortgage and for helping Husband find his way into a few of my favorite shops.” Yes, it finally happened. Someone actually won money in Vegas. I guess if at first you don't succeed, try, try, (and try) again?

There’s more…Turns out the little angel on my shoulder (we’ll call her Stephanie, and oddly enough she doesn’t hang out on my shoulder, but lives in San Francisco) got the best of my conscious and I crossed the Neimans trip off of the top of my to-do list. Yes, you will find the Neimans trip in good company on that list next to things like get a job, update LinkedIn, and dry clean the power suit.

I guess I didn’t need the retail therapy after all (Target sooo doesn’t count). Husband did it for me at the expense of our good friend, Las Vegas. And as luck would have it, I am now the proud owner of some sassy new Coach goods.
