Cookies & wish lists




Yesterday I made molasses cookies for my office since we're going to be putting in long hours for a few days.   And for some reason I keep on thinking about my wish list and the Chanel Large Shopping Bag.  I'm torn between silver or gold hardware.   I wonder if it has anything to do with the crazy amount of money the hubs has spent on his latest bicycle.  He just bought a Trek Madone 6 series to replace his other Madone & it is a pretty penny.  Speaking of wish list, I  also found out that while on the cruise we can take a cooking class with a Chef in Mexico.   That sounds right up my alley.

A little news

So the hubs & I received some news on Wednesday that inspired my mani.   My fav SIL (it's okay for me to write that since no one knows I blog) is expecting her 2nd child in August.   I'm so very happy for her and her little family.  I get to plan another trip to Seattle!   

 
 


Above is a few pics from one of my favorite places to wander when in Seattle.  Makes for a really great meal when you have such fresh ingredients to chose from.  Hope y'all have a great weekend and get some wonderful news too.


p.s. I wish I could redecorate my office. That carpet really has to go!

Chop, chop



I have natural blonde wavy/curly hair that is down past my bra.   I've a hair appointment today for 4:00 p.m and I'm thinking about cutting off several inches and going with a long bob.   That way I can still pull it up whenever I want it off  my neck.  If I hate it, it will grow back.   I wonder what the hubs will say when I pick him up at the airport tomorrow.   Wish me luck!

Want vs. Reality

    



Wildflower Caftan Tory Burch $225                           Tunic Bag Lady Amazon $32.99
Wildflower Bikini  Tory Burch $250                            Paisley/Zebra Xihilaration $29.89


Our cruise is not until May, but I'm already dreaming about revving up my wardrobe.  Here are a few examples of my wants vs. what will end up being packed in my suit case.  Ah.... a girl can dream. 

I must admit, the Target bikini is growing on me.

Going Bananas

I love the Banana Republic  look above with the cardi and color block pumps.  I bought some slim black ankle pants a few months ago for a great price.  I decided to go ahead and get the shoes since they may sell out in my size prior to going on sale.  Much to my delight, there is a 30% off online offer (NEWYOU) until tomorrow.  A few key strokes via ebates and they are mine!
