Oh, man, those are gorgeous.

Sorry about the windshield and the blizzard, Cash. I hope he gets home okay and not too late.

Next to all the other Christmas clothing at the 99-cent store, it was subdued, almost subtle, I swear.

Eta: Mmm, hematite. I used to have some that I loved. So liquid looking.

I love that cabochon emerald ring, Brenda.

I've been known to wear a santa hat as outerwear. It seemed helpful with hitching rides during the last transit strike. I need to get a not-red one for this year since I have a red jacket now.

It's Gurhan, 24k gold, .12 carat diamond. It's a stacking ring. For the wedding band, I'd want the stacking ring without a stone. Collectively, they're the size of a normal ring and would come in at about 1,500.

(I love his designs. This way I'd get to wear them every day.)

It's somewhat comforting and validating to have it confirmed that someone you work with has made people's lives hell at a previous company.

I bought these rings a while back. [link]

They weren't terribly expensive, and they go with half my wardrobe. I'm very fond of them.

I needed a jar of pasta sauce for dinner, and I stopped at the campus grocery store because I didn't feel like going all the way to the regular store just for pasta sauce. The only kind they had without meat was the Rao's, which was $10 a jar, but I figured I probably spent less than 75 cents on the rest of this meal, so I could splurge a little on the sauce.

This stuff is seriously good. Way better than any of the cheaper jarred sauces. I'm not sure it's worth spending $10 on all the time, but now I feel bad about wasting such a good sauce on spaghetti and beanballs -- I need to find something more impressive to put it on.

It might be $10 a jar, but think about how many meals that you'll get out of it, easily $4 or $5. I mean, if you really like it. Also, you might be able to find it cheaper outside of campus. Lord knows they gouge GW kids.

I'ts about $7 at Gristide's fwiw.

I think I've seen it for about $8 at Whole Foods.

What I really want to use this stuff for is eggplant parmesan. But if I'm using a good sauce, I should also use a good cheese, and the one that I want is only available at a store in Rockville. t /ridiculous first-word problems

Ooh, pretty. But way too delicate for me. Both practically and stylistically.
