dear ellen,

I thought you (and the rest of my fans) might want to know where your $2,000 went. While some upstanding women would've donated the money, I followed the lesser law. I decided to buy the things or the world! I decided that I would buy items that I would NEVER buy with a sane mind. When else am I EVER going to have $2,000 given to me?!? Ceasar's Forum Shops LOVED me! I had a pure, unadulterated splurge-fest! Here we go...

(Dad, you might not want to look any further...)

For those who are "dying to know". Yes! I got the Coach bag. She really is breathtaking!

And the wallet. (Honestly, how could I have pulled my target wallet out of a Coach bag. Splurge!)

And while waiting for the transactions I bought my ladies, who were genuinely excited for me some fun Coach rings, we like to call them memory rings to match our Ellen T-shirts...adorable! I LOVE the positive affirmations on them! To remind us just how fabulous we are! And how fabulous the weekend was!!

And to top it off, I got what I have dreamed about getting for YEARS now and I have never been able to do. I wanted to buy one when I got my Bachelors, but didn't. I wanted one when I got my Master's, but didn't. I wanted on the first time I went to NYC, but didn't. So, I had Ellen buy it for me....my very own Tiffany ring!! Yes, I am the proud owner of a little blue box with a little blue bag!!

P.S. Sorry about the face grab! I swear I wasn't trying to hit you! :) Your absolute ADORABLENESS overtook my hands and they just wanted to grab your face. Mid-grab I realized that I was about to squeeze a grown woman's face and REALLY wanted to stop myself!! I don't even grab the faces of my nephews and niece....I don't know what came over me! :)

You are amazing Ellen! Thank you again!!

Love,

Janelle--the High-Roller!!
