happy VD!!

In lieu of a close-distance Valentine, I decided to make my co-workers small treat bags. Chocolate, hot chocolate and Blow Pops. How can you go wrong?

Anyhoo, Happy VD to those who celebrate!

my grammy post, late

Two things:

Al Gore and Queen Latifah? or as my dad says it Queen LATifah.

"Recording her first album Scarlett Johansson"????

alone, again.

advantages.

While I do miss working downtown, there are certain advantages to the "new" job's location.

Well, advantage, anyway. It's proximity to Marshalls. Where is good to get home decor stuff? Marshalls! Designer purses, with dusters? Marshalls!! Kitchen utensils? Marshalls! VD-themed placemats for only $7.99? Marshalls!!

The Marshall's trip during Friday's lunch was only the beginning of the Ultimate Shopping Weekend. Saturday took my mom, Cristina and me to Dillard's, Bed Bath and Beyond, Target, Ann Taylor Loft, Coldwater Creek, J.Jill, the gelato store and BJ's. And Cristina went to Lowe's. One of my favorite purchases was my $25 slicover from B,B&B, which can be seen here and here. Please note the pillow in the second picture. When I did this while experimenting with the cover this weekend Cristina told me "It just looks like you put a couch pillow on it." Huh. Keeping in mind that the camera flash is a much harder light than we have in the living room, which is better, with or without the pillow?
