Thursday
Friday
- $26.08 - Hess (gas for the trip to Skaneateles NY for the Shaver/Mahoney wedding)
- $78.95 - Rue La La (TART Boutique)
Sooo I caved to the Tart Infinity dress. I have an almost identical dress from Two Birds, or is it A Bird, or Flock of Birds...well whatever it is, something with a bird in the name. I bought my first convertible dress as a bridesmaids dress. Now while I was at first kinda horrified by the concept, and confused by the plethora of styling options and length of the straps, I have grown to love this thing.
After this summers weddings (4 out of 5 so far) I have grown to hate all of my dresses and decided that it was time for something new. So naturally I wanted to add a dress that I can wear over and over again and just switch up the style making it into a whole new dress...making the Tart Infinity Dress the perfect choice, especially b/c it was on sale! I went with black because first off, I don't have a plain black dress, and secondly I could really jazz up a black dress with some crazy loud shoes...and you know how I love my shoes.
- $10 - Skaneateles Country Club (tips at open bar)
- $$$ - Wedding Gift (no need to reveal amount)
Not only was the Skaneateles Country Club the site of dear Shaver's weddings, but it was also the place where I met my favorite artist,
Patience Brewster. Don't worry, I was very well behaved. I said hello, shook her hand and then froze like a small child meeting Big Bird. I then proceeded to watch her (like a hawk) from afar for the remainder of the wedding.
Obsessed with all of her artwork, particularly her Krinkle Christmas Ornaments. Love. I brought a Krinkle with me to ask her to sign, but chickened out, even though her daughter assured me she'd be flattered. Sigh.
Harold the Camel. One of my favorite Krinkles ever.
So obviously, all in all it was a great weekend...aside from the speeding ticket I got on the drive home. So sad, it ended my 7 year streak of no moving violations. (Parking tickets are another story)
Saturday
- $27.00 - Red Apple Gas Station
- $$$ - Unknown amount to the lame state of NY, for above mentioned speeding ticket. Apparently they wait until you mail your ticket in to tell them you're not going to fight it in court to tell you how much you owe them, seems a little shady to me.
Sunday
- $26.55 - PetCo (Maggie Mae Supplies, they don't have her brand of dog food at the local place...grrr)
- $50 - Fast Lane (stupid freaking toll violation in a company truck...lame)
