Hey Cafe,
I'm home early which equals my perfect Monday night date. DH surprised me with dinner at my favorite steak place-perfect for my very low carb week as I need to fit neatly into my leather pants this week. The cats surprised me with a very generous contribution to the Orange Savings account, they decided to forgo the organic treats for a few months so that I could have a happy anniversary

let's hope the store opening holds some goodies for me as it's burning a hole in my Jige as we speak. I think they would have gotten me a bag if only our store had not closed for a week (and they had any stock left which they didn't before the move) DH says if I get a B, they get a ride. I'll play along but there's no way I'm putting a cat with claws near any of my bags!
I have another confession to make, DH was going to give me something else. From Cartier. But the fool (in love) that he is, he used a credit card that I pay the bills for and I saw the charge so the surprise was blown. I was all set to put on my happy/surprised face and he duped me. I guess the Cartier is in hiding for a few months till my birthday which is definitely something to look forward. I like that it's for my 40th anyway, this is not a big anniversary in terms of numbers and I'm actually really looking forward to my birthday which I thought I would dread. But I'm in a good place, happy with where all my hard work has gotten me and it feels like the best kind of milestone and a badge of honor.
Anyway, I wish I had some photos of goodies instead of just a report of things to come and thank you all for the anniversary wishes! We had a great evening. I didn't get an outfit pic either but it was a good one, my new Chanel little black jacket over a black dress that's sort of a space age Holly Golightly style and my Nadege shoes. My jacket got quite a few stares, in a good way I think. It's very warm but I love it! It was my first wear and I'm going to get the sleeves shortened soon before it really becomes the weather to wear it.
Happy New Year EB and anyone else that celebrates!
