Really, who on earth is playing over $400 for a simple vintage day dress!? I keeps seeing things like this! $400 for a Shaheen (which are hardly selling at that price anymore) or Ceil Chapman, but even Suzy Perette is selling for less than $300 when auctioned.
I posted this dress on facebook, asking who would spend almost $400 for a day dress, and checked it today, she had raised the price $30!!! Is it the seller or the idiots who buy the dresses?
It will take a while for me to catch up on reading everyone's blogs, but I will try to find some time this weekend.
Having my oldest daughter back in my life is a wonderful feeling. I missed her so much in the last couple years while she was off "living her life." We have reconnected in the last couple weeks and she even asks my advice and seems to trust my judgement. This, just in time for my younger daughter to enter into her teens.
Since I haven't written an interesting blog in weeks, let me share with you my new favorite hair do :-)
Well, the last couple weeks have been quite a roller coaster ride for me. My oldest chick has flown back to the coop, and has moved home. She had some major difficulties in SF and decided home is where she will be safest. She had been quite distanced from the family the last year, and being 23, I just assumed she was very busy, but it was a lot worse than I could have imagined.
Something good has come of this, she had realized that she has a drinking problem and is going to AA. In support for her, but really to help me cope with what she's gone through and what I have gone through in the last few months, I also have thrown myself back into AA. I have a new sponsor and am working the steps again.
I have been sober for over 19 years, and have rarely felt any inclination to drink again for most of those 19 years. I believe it is a result of thoroughly working the 12 steps.
I have not been involved much in almost 15 years, but I know for me to continue to be "Happy Joyous and Free" I need to be of service and work the steps again. Perhaps I will have the opportunity to sponsor someone and see the miracle that AA and the 12 steps creates in people's lives.
That's where I've been and what I've been up to.
I did go to the Haight Street Hop on Friday night, though! I am still going to Viva, of course ;-)
Yep...I'm recovering from my lapse into the distant past transgressions, and making a come back! I think I will start with pics from Marti Brom's CD release party!
I have neglected this blog in a big way the last few weeks. I have had some emotional drama I have been dealing with that has not put me in the proper frame of mind to write, and even though I've ventured out and attended a few events, did not bring my camera or feel up for documenting it.
Sorry this is not a fun post, full of pictures of scores or good times and bands. I am just not in the proper frame of mind at the moment. I am excited about a few things these next few months and will be sure to document them.
My emotional drama stems from events in my past. I am 44 years old and feel like I have lived many lifetimes. I am a recovered alcoholic with over 19 years sober. There are still some unresolved issues from when I was drinking, and things from my past I have never resolved. They have been coming up for me this year. It makes me feel raw and makes me unsure of myself and the life I have created for myself. A life that I am very happy with. Those that know me personally, know that I am a very confident person who is at ease with anyone. I have a positive attitude and am the type of person who is not afraid to admit when she is wrong. I respect others, that are like me, and am the type of person who looks for good, not bad. A "glass half full" type of person.
I am not comfortable feeling vulnerable yet I have opened myself up to be that. Please forgive my absence while I am coping with this. I am trying to learn to forgive myself, again, for transgressions I made in my youth.
