Going on today...

Not a lot.
Just the usual.

Fighting, bored crazy kids.
$1 movie at the "ghetto" theater at the mall.

Work.

Home.

Move 3 sleeping boys to their own beds.

Now, I can't sleep.

So, now what???

I guess I could write in my journal.

I found a pair of earings. Not hard to do in this big city. But these particular earings are special. Not the earrings themselves, but the memory. They remind me of a pair my Nana had. I don't know that I ever saw them in real life. I only remember them from a picture of her. My favorite picture of her. They are roses (Just a little bigger than the size of diamond studs). You see them everywhere now. Tilly's, Target & Walmart, amongst others. They vary in size and are usually plastic black, red, bright pink, etc.

Her's were gold with little diamonds in the centers. Since I first saw them starting to sprout up in stores, I have looked. Everytime I go to a retail store, I look. I found almost the exact same pair a while back. But, they were $54. I couldn't make myself spend $54 on earrings. I am cheap. I thought I could find them cheaper somewhere else (these were at Dillards). If I had known I wouldn't come across them again, I would have spent the $54. I should have. It has been months, probably almost a year in fact. And I finally found a pair. Not nearly as close to hers, but close enough that I couldn't pass them up. They are just plain silver, no diamond in the middle. But, close enough. I wore them today. It makes me feel close to her, like I have a piece of her with me. Weird, huh? That a pair of $5 earrings could do that! I love it!

The infamous (to me anyway) earrings...

So, you may only read this next part if you promise not to make fun of me.
{PROMISE}
I went online just now to try to find an image similar to this pair of earrings I have been looking for for oh, soooo long.
Well, DUH!!!
I just shared that I had been looking for these earrings for how long?
It never even crossed my mind to look online!! I am "slow to learn"!!

I thought my sisters and girly cousins would like to know where to find these. But, any of you chicks that just have to get your hands on a pair...
the pair I got were $5 at Tilly's. They are silver and have no diamond in the center.

The pair in the picture above (which look almost identical to hers) are from Juicy Couture online. They are $36 + shipping. And in about 5 minutes, one lucky pair will be on it's way to my house. YEAH!!!!! To go in my ears!!! :). I am soooo not passing these babies up. I learned my lesson the first time.
And now I shall have a pair in silver & gold!

I will insert that picture of Nana into this post when I can. I don't have it on this computer.


That is all for now. I will be back soon!!!
