Santa Hat Update

December 13th fast approaches. My quest for the Elf boots has intensified to the point that I felt the need to call in reinforcements. So....I'll cop to it: I've "out-sourced" the search. Yes, sadly even a professional such as myself feels the need to confer with a fellow professional in certain dire circumstances....such as these. Don't judge! After all, people--it is the 7th already!

So I decided to call in the "big guns". For blogging purposes, she shall be called "J". (Isn't that clever of me... to use an initial to identify her? I learned that in spy school.) I knew "J" was a kindred spirit the first time I met her. It was at a faculty Mardi Gras party last year. Most of us were in costume. I myself was "blinged" out to the max. I even won a prize for my costume....a box of Moon Pies...... but I digress. "J" was having none of that. It was her first faculty party and she wasn't sure just how far she should go. "J's" only form of ornamentation was a tasteful broach worn on the lapel of her jacket. When I saw the broach, I was transfixed!!! The broach identified "J" as "Bitch" spelled out in what I thought were very tastefully sized rhinestones. Ah, a kindred spirit!!!

"J" and I hung out around the bonfire for the rest of the evening when we weren't chowing on gumbo or drinking wine. I discovered that "J" regularly went to "market" with her sister and would put me on the list for a duplicate of the broach she was wearing. Because of course, need I say- allllll the women there wanted one just like it!

I put in a call to "J" this morning. And of course, true professional that she is, she wasn't even surprised at my request. "Why sure, Big Pissy" "J" said. " I have a pair of Elf boots you can borrow. You want to pick them up this weekend?"

"J", you ROCK!!!
