When you come to visit, we can go to the famous Ballantyne Goodwill branch, where the rich people donate. Maybe even the Junior League Thrift Store uptown, although that might be like Mom’s $100 jeans place.
Consignors in this area tend to be elderly, which makes the selection in size 2/4 rather limited. And the prices ... I looked at a cute pink beaded sweater, and it was over $200!!! Zot knows what it went for at retail. Who are these people?
Asuncion will make me some black and silver or black and pearl earrings to go with the new dress, once she sees it ... if she doesn’t already have something in inventory. Having a private jewelry designer is so convenient.
I liked the bundle-up pajamas, with no legs, for babies, but they don’t seem to make them bigger than 24 month size unless you pay a fortune for “Hanna Andersen” products from Sweden. Kathleen has two sets of blanket sleepers: owls and cats. When she wears the owl pajamas she insists on the owl blanket, too. That confused Tom a few times.
Mom hasn’t come back yet; I hope the aide showed up on time. I don’t want to get my pajamas on in case she wants me to hustle over there and take notes and look imposing. She was on the phone with Wayne the Director this afternoon (he’s a sleazoid), threatening him with my notes from yesterday’s meeting. “My daughter transcribed the meeting; that was her profession!” because they wouldn’t let her make a recording.
Don’t look now, but..
It’s snowing.
I will answer this tomorrow, as Busdaddy is here. We are going to St George tomorrow afternoon or Saturday morning, to a “Test ‘n’ Tune” with Lucille.
Have a good night! *hug*
