My Pinterest Addiction

Have you all started using Pinterest yet?  Pinterest has apparently  been around for ages (OK 2 years), but I only heard of it a few months ago (OK Maybe 6). 

If you have no idea what I’m talking about it’s a website where you create pin boards.  You know, like cork boards of the olden days.  YOU know that you used to cut comics out of the paper and put them up in your office.  It’s like that, but the WEB is your source.  There is SO MUCH stuff out there.

If you are on Pinterest, you already know what’s up.  If you’re not, you are missing out.  Hit me up and I’ll send you an invite.

Saturday - Fun Day

So after sleeping in until almost noon, I finally rolled my butt out of bed and got on with the day.  I had a few errands I had to run today and my mom called me so I asked her if she wanted to join me.  She's always up for some shopping so off we went.  First we went and had lunch at Tijuana Flats.  I had the chicken flautas.  They were ok.  Mom had some kind of rice bowl which was way better than the flautas.  I don't get the love for that place.  That's the second time I've been and I have to say, I'm just not that impressed.

After lunch we went to Target, I needed to buy an air mattress for our camping trip that's coming up at the end of the month.  I ended up with a queen sized coleman - it was a decent price and it should be a little sturdier than the Serta that was ten bucks more.  While at Target, I spied the new PINK CD, which I had to have, and some halloween marshmallows that i'm going to dehydrate for the camping trip for us to have in our hot chocolate.  I have a few friends coming this year on the camping trip and I'm really excited about it.  More on that another day.

After Target, we went to World Market to look around, and I ended up with some orange chocolate truffle cookies in my paws.  We munched on those afterwards and they were delicious!  Onward to Yankee Candle where I procured two giant whoopee pie candles for work.  We bake cookies for our clients, but they don't always smell as cookie-like as we want, so I thought the chocolate candles would enhance the scent of the cookies a bit more.  Don't you wish your financial planner baked fresh cookies when you came in to an appointment?  Uh huh!

Finally we went to BJ's where I got a bunch of stuff for work, water, coffee, TP, paper towels etc.

Mom got a half price costume at Target for Halloween next year.  She tried it on when we got home and it looks super cute!  It's held together in the back by velcro, so she's going to have to be careful! LOL!

Now I'm home and just finished watching Private Practice from last week and I'm wishing there was a Pioneer Woman to watch from this morning.

I'm pooped!  How was your day?

Where I proclaim my love for Pettys

Yep, they packed me a ice bucket to chill my bubbly wine on the way home!

My husband can't figure out why I love Pettys Meat Market. Its a gourmet store and more!
Plus they know how to make a girl happy!

Me: Do you have any sweet lightly bubbly sparkling wine - ahem champagne... You do? Is it cold?
Petty's Wine Man: No ma'am but where are you driving... Because I can chill it for you on your drive home with your own personal ice bucket!
Me: Suuuuuuure! Thank you!

What's not to like??

Purple Leather Jacket

I am really digging this jacket. It is marked down to $45 at Dillards. Hoping they will mark it down a bit more. I'd love to own it!
Its also a teeny bit snug... So maybe by the time they mark it down again.. I will have lost a few pounds?
