When your husband has a mystery illness (first the broken ankle, now the kidney stones…come on, all you amateur Camerons from House: get to work and figure out what he has!), plus you have multiple manuscripts to edit, you need a little something to take the edge off.
And obviously, we’ve seen on Intervention what drugs and alcohol can do to you. So those are out.
I know you still have money leftover from all those gift certificates you got for Christmas/Hanukkah.
Or maybe—like me—you have a winter birthday, and are going to be getting even MORE gift certificates soon (hint).

It also comes in red:
Not bad!
And both these dresses would look super chic with any of these adorable “statement” necklaces at BR.
Of course, we should be thinking about shopping for others now. ‘Tis the season, blah blah blah.
Perhaps you know someone who loves board games and would adore the Game of Clue in 3-D. Who wouldn’t?
