Wow, I want to do this. Buy $1 coins and get miles for it, then return them to the bank to pay off your debt. Win-win.

Last year, cardinals were all the rage; I’d say half of the guests were wearing cardinal vests. I wonder what will be big this year in the genre of tacky 80’s Christmas wear?

Here we are with our respective fiances.

This is Jana and me at last year’s party. Jana was my best friend growing up in Tennessee; we lived across the street from each other, then moved apart for college, but both found ourselves moving out to SF for different reasons this time two years ago. She’s also getting married to a 35-year-old Bay Area native next summer. Even though Jana and I are still close, I never get to see her. She travels even more than I do for her job at KPMG and has been on a LOA since summer and back home in the South with the fam, so I literally haven’t seen her since July. But oh yes, she’ll be back rocking the holiday wear this Tuesday.

Two days until this! Can’t wait! I just dug out the goods—three sweaters, two sweater vests, three pairs of antlers, two Santa hats, one pair of elf stockings—and might even head to Goodwill tomorrow, just in case there’s something better out there!

Things I Want: this Anthro tea rose belt. Added it to my wishlist for my secret Santa with Scott’s family. Though do you like it better in taupe (pictured) or cream?

This is last night’s ensemble. Scott and I stayed at the Claremont and had a three-hour dinner at their brand-new restaurant, the Meritage, that just opened last week. We may or may not have had four glasses of wine and a cocktail each (that’s what happens when you aren’t footing the bill), and Scott’s stll trying to figure out why he woke up at 3am with a splitting migraine. I, on the other hand, have never felt better! Dress, Shoes: Nine West Purse: Nan Handbags (gift from the designer) Earrings: Forever21 Watch: Skagen Bracelet: Limited Pashmina: Target

I planned on knitting something wee and cute for Wombat, the offspring of my friends Leah and Simon, who’s having a fish-themed birthday party next week. But let’s be honest, when am I going to find time to do that? Never, that’s when. Besides, I happened to be wandering aimlessly through Target unchaperoned yesterday, and saw this in the kid’s section. Please tell me this isn’t the cutest $20 outfit for a one year old you ever did see?

In the event that any of you should post who wins TAR tonight (ahem, Lemon; ahem, Caro; ahem, Julie), please keep in mind that some of us a) are on West Coast time and b) are still catching up on our DVR queues after being in the Middle East/Asia for a month. Don't punish us for working hard for the money. Please and thanks.
