For the first time ever, I have found that my dislike of diamonds has left me at a loss. Day 61.

Because I am not a diamond fan, as I have worked in the diamond industry, I don't own any real ones, except for the one in my nose, or really any fake ones. I have one fake engagement ring, for when I travel alone, and a pair of diamond hoops, fake, of course.

Halloween costume completed, I realize that I am lacking some accessories to make the final look, well, final. The above mentioned diamond hoops I can use for my costume, but folks would get far to excited at the sight of an engagement ring, regardless of how unreal the stone, and how real the feelings.

So, I have a dilemma. I have my sewing class all day tomorrow, and the Halloween party tomorrow night. The class doesn't get done until 4:30. It's a 20 minute drive home, 30 minutes MINIMUM to get ready, assuming I do my hair in the morning before the class, and then 30 minutes to drive to the party, which starts at six, which leaves me with not much time to run by the *shudder* mall, to get some fake bling to make my costume BLING (with a capital B) ...

My costume, by the way, is fucking fabulous. I wish I could give you a spoiler, but it's that good that I can't. Oh fake diamond dilemma, how will you resolve yourself?

I think I'll work on this problem by having another glass of wine.

And, if you are guessing what my costume is ... My Dad got it in the first try. UNBELIEVABLE!
