BRITNEY April 7, 2009
Britney concert was the most fun I’ve had in months! I bounced back and forth between two boxes – so FUN! I missed most of The PussyCat Dolls – but they looked to be strutting their stuff!
Britney came on and the entire concert was a crazy production! There were so many people on the stage at all times, that you didn’t even know where Britney was. She looked good! Her overall performance wasn’t stellar….but those people backing her, sure know how to put on a show!!! I danced the night away!

What is new? March 12, 2009
I am in the Minnesota winter slump. After a long, cold winter, we are having a really cold snowy spell in March. My life is a routine sprinkled with fun outings here and there. I have no fun weekend get away trips planned. Saving up for Greece in May. Dare I say life is boring??
Lately, people ask “What is new?” and I honestly don’t have anything to report. Blah. Maybe I will go out and create some excitement or even drama this weekend. Does anyone have any ideas for me???
Commit Me March 10, 2009
I just couldn’t help myself. Tory Burch event on Gilt today. I had to hold myself back from the many tantalizing choices. Shoes, handbags, jewelery, and clothing!! I mean, Gilt, what are you doing to me?? Tory is a goddess. I am a proud owner of two dresses - super duper gorgeous dresses!!
Gilt.Com Strikes Again March 3, 2009
I just adore Gilt. Here are my most recent purchases.
Catherine Malandrino Dress
Voulspa Candles
I was able to secure a Stella McCartney LeSportsac Classic Carry All, but due to an inventory issue, Gilt was not able to ship it to me. Gilt was gracious enough to credit my account $25! Love love you Gilt!
To join the madness….
