Ahhhhhh the Weekend Approaches...

Last night, after a very very long day at work, I got home late and had to pick up the mail. It was then I decided that the time had come for me to show my neighbors my true colors. Upon getting the mail, I saw a package with the name "Sur La Table" on it, realizing it was The Knives. I sat there clapping my hands in glee all excited and it was over KITCHEN KNIVES. Not shoes, not clothes, not the impending arrival of my package of Principessa products. Nope - it was over my Global knives that I have lusted after like Aubrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's in front of the window. I knew then I needed an intervention....

Wait - it gets better.

So today, after work my boss told me to leave work early and I decided to return the original Global knife and Magnetic Knife Strip I bought in Ft. Myers at the Florida Mall Williams-Sonoma and get my knife block to house my new lovely set of knives. I wandered through Sephora and picked up nothing. I found my black spectator shoes at Steve Madden - marked down $50 bux at that - and said "Nope" - intent on just spending what I needed and I'd revisit the shoe idea next week.

So - I tootled into Williams-Sonoma and returned everything for my knife block. And, with that, I picked up my bread knife and got it marked down. Granted it was $3.00 but hell - why not. Every little bit counts. I had already a credit for my return and I go to get my wallet. I reach in my purse and look around and Its. Not. There. Oh crap. Now how am I going to pay the tab remaining?

I guess my resistance to the shoes & the lure of Sephora heaven paid off karma wise because, as I reached into my pocket I found my bankcard. Hallelujah! And, with that, I have my new culinary baby. Viola!

And - just because I haven't really exposed much of my decorating (because it's far from finished), I took a couple cell phone shots and now you can see one of my favorite escapes in my new abode.

Also to add to my relaxing evening - WE.tv decided that it was going to show my favorite movie of all time (well one of them) - ONE FINE DAY. Now how can one stay tense and thinking about things to do tomorrow with a fabulous ice coffee and George Clooney on the t.v. screen. Ahhhh.... Nirvana indeed...
