Friday night dinner out: pecan crusted chicken salad  |  I wore my new feather earrings

Hello Monday!  Did everyone have a nice weekend?  Mine was busy, as I knew it would be but went fairly slowly (surprise, surprise).  I snapped a few photos with my iPhone over the weekend to share with you all.

My good work friend having a baby.   Her friend threw her a baby shower.  She invited me.  I went.  So did many other women.  She's having a girl.  We played games.  We ate a lot of (yummy) food.  She opened many gifts.  And we all celebrated.  Congrats Lala!

* PS - What I wore

I'm in the market for a new pair of glasses.  Currently I have these but found the above last week and can't stop thinking about them.  I snapped a quick pic so you could all weigh in.  I've never had plastic frames before because they're hard to find to fit my face.  So, ladies, help a sistah out: are these glasses the ones?

What do you have planned for the weekend?  Tonight I am getting together with seven other girls for dinner downtown at a hot spot.  Tomorrow, I plan to sleep in and get some laundry done (those baskets are overflowing) and then heading to a birthday party in the evening.  Sunday, of course, is Mothers' Day and my sister and I are hosting a brunch at her place for our mom.  Jam packed, just the way I like it.  Have a great weekend!

Here are some fun links from around the web:

* Sometimes you just need a good laugh.

* Oh yeah, I joined Pinterest.

So I know I mentioned at some point before that I was going to consign some of my clothes.  I've never really done much of this before, I always just donate my clothes to the GoodWill or Salvation Army (of course I let my girlfriends go through the stuff beforehand if they want), but this time I thought I'd try my hand at it.  There is a chic consignment store I like in an 'up-and-coming' (or perhaps 'already up') neighbourhood that takes items that would actually be in my closet (aka non-designer) but still have slightly higher standards than your average consignment shop.  I dropped off close to 40 items in March and knew they'd be on the floor, for sale, for two months.  I called the other day to see what my account balance was at and... I made $140!  What a score!  I was ecstatic.  I went to the store, checked out their inventory and eventually cashed out.  I'm a true consignment believer now and plan to always do this.  Have you ever consigned anything?  Are you strictly a donater?  I'd love to hear.
