Happy Monday! Did you all have a good weekend? I spent it getting closely acquainted with Turbo Tax and partaking in one of my favorite past times…playing board games. A friend brought over the Battlestar Galactica board game and I was really keen to try it, despite being warned repeatedly that it was a really hard, long game to learn. I insisted that it would be fine…until I opened up the game box and saw this monstrous instruction manual (40 pages!!)
Battlestar Galactica game instructions…file next to Proust on your bookshelf
Nobody else knew how to play either so it took really long for each round of the game. Since I’m obnoxious and have a gnat like attention span I spent the time making stories out of the character pieces. Here I decided to take the two best looking characters and marry them with my ring.
Is it my turn yet? No?? OK then give me the extra game pieces so I can amuse myself.
The rest of the night was pretty fun. And now I learned a new board game!
My friend’s adorable fiancee also brought me this hilarious bag from Shanghai – it reads, “My Other Bag is a Louis Vuitton.” I put it next to one of my favorite LV accessories, a Vernis Cles. I’m going to use it to hold my little notebooks and pens.
Finally a small preview for tomorrow…where I will show you my favorite pair of Louboutins. Thanks for reading about my weekend!
PS: a reader emailed me and asked to see a picture of my ring on, so here it is :
Happy monday!!

Pretty ring! I like that you tried to play BG and married the best looking ones w/ your ring. Ha ha Never played it myself, but Hubs and I are (closet) Star Trek fans. Can't wait to see the Louboutins!
Beautiful ring. That little bag is so funny.
That ring is amazing!
I love that pouch from Shanghai! So cute on its own but even better when you realize what it says.

Fun! Beautiful ring.
That bag is hilarious! I so want one. I'm dying to see your Louboutins, hopefully there's a pair in my future! xoxo Marissa

Battlestar Galactica game? Awesome. I need to find that for Mr. Dina. I think it would make our marriage super solid. LOL.
Love that ring. Maybe if I buy Mr. Dina that game he will buy me that ring. (I can dream, right???)
Omg the Trinity ring is so gorgeous and beyond special! What a lucky girl. My Mom and sister both have it as their wedding rings… hoepfully someday I will someday too ; ) Enjoy!
