Home Sweet Home...

I SHOULD be in my new comfy bed sleeping, however, I wanted to catch up on recent internet activity. I've spent the past week + in SWFlorida for business (the trip that kept getting postponed over, and over, and over again). I'm happy to say, it reached a VERY successful conclusion today. I took a half hour or so to wander down their version of Main Street whose storefronts tempted me all week. I walked away almost unscathed, however, I did manage to secure a cute pair of sunglasses, a pretty snazzy red coffee grinder on sale from Starbucks, my home away from home, and a new travel mug just perfect for that early morning coffee.

On Friday, before I headed back to Orlando for a quick "regroup" and to check on the cat/apartment, I stopped by their Williams Sonoma and treated myself to this with my gift certificate from Christmas. Since I've been lusting after it for 6 months, I took Michelle's advice to heart and I'm only really focusing on the serrated, santuku and a utility/paring knife for now. I'm not looking into the set and I'm sure as I add to it, I'll do it online through Ebates, Mr. Rebates or Fat Wallet to get some $$$ back.

After a 4 hour traffic filled ride home today, I walked into Tuesday Morning on the hunt for my toaster only to find this and this. Do you know I had that slated to pick up for next payday at the full price. In reality, both cost me only $18. Sometimes Tuesday Morning has such great finds. I would have spent some more time in there if they weren't closing.

So, that's pretty much the update. It will be great to get back into the normal swing of things, work, home, furnishing the apartment, catching up on my blogs and enjoying the new mattress. Goodbye Aerobed, Hello Serta!

And one of my goals for this year - no more trips to places near "Alligator Alley". Tell me that's not ominous sounding name. As one of my friends remarked "What if you get a flat tire". Bec pointed out that I would probably beat any alligator silly for the benefit of new shoes & handbags. I have some crappy cell pics which I'll post this week at some point. First, this gal needs some serious sleep.

Hope you all have a fabu week!
