Wine & Leather

The interwebs are currently being scrutinized a little more at my office. This stinks for loads of reasons, but one is that I’m having a tough time keeping up with everyone and everything…Nonetheless, I will persevere!

On to fun:

I’ve been very lucky recently in that I have a little group of girl friends in Houston that have started a “Ladies Night In”. We meet up once a month at someone’s house and have a different theme each time. Last night was Wine Tasting around the World. Each of us were assigned a country and brought a wine. I had New Zealand and brought Monkey Bay. It was okay...not really something I like. At the end of the night after all sampling, the bottles were corked and raffled off and I won this one: Werewolf from Romania

Again, this was okay. I don't love it, but I don't hate it.

What I’m really excited about is next month is a clothing/accessories swap! Yippee. I love those types of things. I grew up with a sister who is only one year younger, and we would swap with each other and each other’s friends.

Unrelated: Yesterday was a semi-stressful day so I spend my lunch break at goodwill (I know, I’m weak. Shopping as therapy isn’t the best stress buster, blah, blah, blah.)

But I found the best thing, a real leather motorcycle jacket for $10. Asymmetrical and all zippery. I’ve been looking for one, but wasn’t sure if I wanted to commit a couple hundred bucks to a new one. I have a tough time justifying an expensive coat purchase living in Houston. This isn’t my coat, but this is similar to the style found on net-a-porter (imagine it without the sweatery stuff at the wrist)

I can’t wait for winter to wear this. It’ll be hanging out in my spare closet for a long time (October? Probably November), but I’ll be so happy when that time comes…
