They’re BACK!
This was playing at work today – and no lie, one of my Jewelry girls says “Is that Justin Beiber?” I sputtered, then almost spit, and was all “What?! This was sung before he was even a glimmer in his mama’s eyes! It’s from late 80s! 1989, I think!” and she looked at me blankly. And then I spent a couple hours trying to remember Roxette’s name – during which I tried to feel better about the fact that I’m working with BABIES at the store…
Babies who look at you blankly when you mention 1989.
Add to that, a cashier asked me, all so happily:
“MOM! (they all call me mom) Do you have any of you 80s clothes left? They’re back IN!”
Harumph. Do I have any left. LIKE I STOPPED WEARING THEM. *slips on leg warmers and leggins and long t-shirt and POOFS HAIR* Yeah boy!
But mostly – Justin Beiber. REALLY?!?!

Oh Ebrima. nice to meet your profile as well. *Smirk* especially as I’m welcome all the time, and apparently the sound of my voice would make him happy all the time…
Nope. Not that desperate. Not even close.
ISOHAPPY!
So – it happened like this:
We got a new style of Mother’s Ring in for special ordering, and I fell in love with it the minute I saw it. There were talks that I “didn’t hear” about certain kids getting it for me for Mother’s Day, then for this Christmas. Then I got worried they might discontinue this particular one, because it wasn’t in the new brochure. So I talked to the boy about it… and…
…decided they could get me something ELSE for Christmas – because I HAD to have this ring! 🙂
It came in today.
Please ignore the cardboard cut and general torn up status of my hands - I worked FOUR PALLETS OF SHOES today!
The two outer stones are 'filler diamonds' and then from the outside in: Mine, Kevin, The Boy, Peppermist, The Pup. And, of course, our last name. 🙂
I SO HAPPY!
By the way…
Saw Harry Potter with the kids and the ‘rents. I have one thing to say…
MAH HEEEEEROOOOOH!
