Volume V Issue 00007

The new Peanuts Baggu Collection landed in the store yesterday. Come in and check it out! Sooooo cute and it won’t last long. We have already sold a bunch!

OMG! A new customer, Jocelyne, from Santa Paula just came in the shop for the new Baggu. She knew about it because one of our customers from this morning put us on a huge Baggu page and we have gone VIRAL! Thank you unknown customer and Jocelyne!

I promised I would share more from the I love the 90’s concert that Sandy and I went to at the fair last Wednesday night. Sandy bought us VIP tickets as my birthday present. So sweet!

First up was C&C Music Factory. “Everybody Dance Now”.

Next was Tone Loc with “Wild Thing” and “Funky Cold Medina”. I was cracking up because my best friend from high school, Melanie, loves all of these bands. I was texting her from the concert. Wish she could have been there!

After Tone Loc was the Sugar Hill Gang with “Rapper’s Delight”. This was definitely one of Melanie’s favorite songs. Mel and I used to go up to Canada to drink when we were in college (drinking age was only 19) and I just remember her dancing to that song at The Ocean Beach in White Rock, B.C. back in the day. My boyfriend was the DJ. Such great memories!

Sandy thought the Sugar Hill Gang were the best of the bunch!

The concert ended with Vanilla Ice and his “Ice Ice Baby”. Everyone knows that song! Super fun night!

Friday night the Palm Desert girls arrived for the weekend. They got in around 7:30 and we headed downtown for dinner at Rice by Momma. After dinner, we had a cocktail at the Star Lounge. Great kickoff to a fun weekend!

Time for an eBay score before you hear about the rest of our epic weekend! As I have been cleaning out my office and moving it into my main house, I decided to part with A LOT of stuff.

Another reason I am parting with a ton of stuff is that seeing how much my mother has accumulated over the years makes me want to pare down now so that my kids don’t have to do it. Houston & Indiana you are welcome!

Check out this cool Bethlehem sign that I have been carrying around for a few years. Took a best offer of $90. You can check out the listing here.

Don’t forget about our design services. Susan just went out on a new consult in Yorba Linda yesterday!

One more fun eBay score. Last week I sold a random coffee mug that had been listed since 2016. Yikes! It sold for $31.19.

Check out the listing here.

People always marvel at how we can sell used coffee mugs for so much money. The text I got after the sale will tell you all you need to know.

Someone breaks a coffee mug that they LOVE & they will pay any price to replace it. If any of you are interested in taking my in person eBay class, let me know and I can schedule a new class.

Back to the girls weekend. Saturday we just hung out at the house and watched a movie. Then we ubered in to the fair grounds as we were going to see Dustin Lynch VIP with Sandy and Sendia. Here we are at the entrance.

My friend Max had the funniest comment that he posted on my Facebook…..

“That is a REALLY GREAT photo. Like a Charley’s Angel Theme. Totally needs to be framed and put up.” LOL!

Then the five of us squeezed into a photo booth for a picture. We were cracking up…It didn’t turn out so great!

The Dustin Lynch concert was soooooo amazing and we were right up front! He pointed at me and Sandy thinks he pointed at her. Hahaha!

Sunday, the girls and I went to lunch at The Lookout and then they headed back to the desert. Fun, but short weekend!

Monday, Sendia came to Fit Buddha with Sandy and me. She did great, but admitted that it was a super hard workout! We did do Martini Monday afterwards at Lure. LOL!

The fun never ends around here…. The next day, Tuesday 8/05, was Cha Cha’s 4th Birthday. She is a true Ventura Girl, being born here in our city and having an 805 Birthday. Here is my post on social media.

You have to read the comments on that Facebook post from a few of my friends. LOL! I am dying 🙂

I took Cha Cha down to Port Hueneme to run on the beach. I think she had a wonderful day! She is so fast…it is like she is flying.

As you read this ezine today, I am driving to Marina del Rey to celebrate my son Houston’s 28th Birthday, which I totally screwed up.

Let me explain. Houston turned 28 on July 10th, but he was walking the Camino in Spain with friends. Here is a cute photo from Emma’s Insta.

Back to how I screwed up. I always ask my kids for Birthday lists so that I can get them EXACTLY what they want. They put their lists in a Google doc so it can be shared. I lost Houston’s list so I asked Emma (his girlfriend) to send it to me again.

Well, the one she shared had two tabs. I didn’t pay attention and I opened his last year’s Christmas list of which he already has EVERYTHING.

I just spent $300 plus postage on stuff that CAN NOT be returned and he already owns. UGHHHHHH! I wrapped it all anyway and hopefully we can laugh about this later today! I hope some of you can relate….It is soooo hard to be a parent! Even when your kids are grown.

Here is my social post from Houston’s Birthday…How cute is he with Pete Carrol?

I have an alternative reason for heading to the Marina today…it is to drop of the Cha with my kids so that I can fly to Bellingham…..again.

Yes, to help my mom, but also for a Dralle Family Reunion on Friday and a mini High School Reunion on Saturday.

I have been to Bellingham every month for the last 4 months. I won’t be going back again until my mom’s house sells and we have a combined Going Away and 88th Birthday Party for her. All this travel has been exhausting!

Before I forget, we just got in the most wonderful collection of head vases. Stop in and check them out!
