In my holiday shopping jaunts, I\u2019ve been receiving numerous comments on my purse of the moment\u2026the Gwen Stefani for L.A.M.B. small hella hobo Le Sportsac purse.<\/p>\n
“I see that you were one of the lucky ones to buy the purse when it was available!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou should hold on to it, everybody is looking for one and she\u2019s not making them anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n
Who thought that a little purse that I bought 2 years ago before my trip to the big island would be in such demand? The best part (for me, at least) is that these purses are selling for 3-4x the original price on eBay!<\/p>\n
Work sucks\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n So with what seems like monthly resignations from my department, I flat-out asked for an office. I mean, I have been here 5 years and if they can\u2019t pay me industry standard, at least sweeten the deal for me.<\/p>\n Today I got a big ol\u2019 bitch slap across the face \u2013 instead of offering me the empty office, I was offered a bigger cubicle.<\/p>\n Are we kidding?!<\/p>\n White Elephant\u2026gone too far<\/strong><\/p>\n Okay, so my family\u2019s xmas get-together was this past Saturday. Because there are so many of us, we\u2019ve started doing the Secret Santa thing and added a White Elephant gift exchange. Last year, there were decent gifts \u2013 gifts that were worth stealing: lottery tickets, gift cards, etc. It was coming close to the start of the party and Frenchy still didn\u2019t have his white elephant gift. Let\u2019s just say that what he ended up with was a saucisse and 2 crab apples \u2013 you can do the math. And with this less than $10 gift, he had opened the floodgates for this year\u2019s exchange. Now, remember, this is my family \u2013 aunts, uncles, cousins \u2013 getting these gifts! Highlights included: my mom\u2019s old Christmas tree sweater from Talbot\u2019s, a whip (!), Spank the Monkey card game, and a jelly bean dispenser shaped as a sheep and the \u201cbrown\u201d jellybeans being dispensed from the sheep\u2019s ass. There were some sought after gifts \u2013 but for the most part it was one huge laugh fest!<\/p>\n She\u2019s back!<\/strong><\/p>\n We capped off this past weekend with our friend Amanda who is back from Lesotho! She showed us some amazing stories & pictures from Africa and we treated her to her first Mexican meal in 2 years! at La Corneta.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In my holiday shopping jaunts, I\u2019ve been receiving numerous comments on my purse of the moment\u2026the Gwen Stefani for L.A.M.B. small hella hobo Le Sportsac purse. “I see that you were one of the lucky ones to buy the purse when it was available!\u201d \u201cYou should hold on to it, everybody is looking for one […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[2],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.kellybeanz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.kellybeanz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.kellybeanz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.kellybeanz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.kellybeanz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=239"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.kellybeanz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.kellybeanz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=239"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.kellybeanz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=239"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.kellybeanz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=239"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
