With gas at over $4 a gallon…..it’s good to be able to window shop from home.

Swivel Barstools

We have been on the hunt for barstools since we got here.  We saw these in the store last week and when I went online today I found that the store’s website has a deal on the PAIR versus buying them individually.

We were watching a movie recently and my yobo commented on how nice their comforter was.  It was a nice, luxurious down comforter with soft sheets.  I could tell just by looking at it.  My head popped up after his comment……..I took that as approval to upgrade the bedroom!    I found this at Nordstrom’s and love it because I can blend it with anything……it matches the current color of the walls AND the color I eventually want to paint them.  I’m going to fill it with the Westin Heavenly Bed Duvet Insert.  I stayed at a Westin in California back in January and fell in love with the bedding line.  I haven’t found pillows that I like yet but I’ve had some great success with TJ Maxx in the past.  Can’t online window shop at the Maxx though.

Since I’m at Nordie’s, I wanted to see about the email I got announcing the availability to pre-order the new plus size velour set from Juicy Couture’s Fall 2008 Trunk Show.  See when I got the email I said “When did Juicy start doing plus size?”  According to the website……November 13, 2008.  Ain’t that something!  I like velour sets……running errands on weekends, lounging around the house, playing with kids….they’re great for anything. LOL

SPEAKING OF FALL….Let me tell y’all how this works.  Hassa is NEVER going to look across the dining room table at me and say “you should go get yourself a new handbag….you deserve something pretty.”  Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.  Not even if I paid him.  As a matter of fact he looks at most of my bags with disdain.  He claims that they’re too big and full of nothing useful.  He thinks I should carry everything in pockets. LOL  BUT, there are times when if you listen real carefully…..what he’s saying is…..GET A NEW BAG.   Just listen carefully.  For example, the one I’m carrying now we got earlier this summer at a festival.  We were walking past the vendor and we both spotted it.  He said, “That’s a different one.  I don’t see anything like it.”  What I heard was, “That bag is unique.  You should get it!”  And we walked away with it.  THANK YOU YOBO! 

That’s how it works.  There is another festival this weekend and he has already been talking about the bags that will be there.  So I already know that he thinks I need a new fall bag.  Cause that’s how it works.

Signature Stripe

We saw this one and he liked it.  Did he say he liked it?  Of course not!  But my sister in law decided not to get it and he later said “She should have gotten that bag.”  BINGO!  That means he likes it.    (See how this works?)
