I Splurged...

...on baby fashion. This morning I ordered my diaper bag from Nordies!! I am sooooo excited about it! Every year for my birthday I get a gift card to Nordies from a good friend and for a while, I had no idea what to do with it. I don't usually shop at Nordies much but as the years passed I have now come to really embrace the Nordies gift card now that I have discovered their shoe and purse departments! I now have a tradition each birthday to look for a new purse or pair of shoes that I normally wouldn't buy. In my current state, I am not up to wearing high heels nor do I really need a new purse so my attention turned to another department, the baby department. And that is when I discovered the diaper bags.

The moms on my forum were talking about "the best" diaper bags and two names unfamiliar to me popped up. According to these ladies, a gal just needs to get a Petunia Pickle Bottom or JuJu Be diaper bag. I googled the names to see what all the fuss was about and it looked like some high falutin' bag to me. But then, I noticed they could be bought at Nordies (and I just so happened to have a fresh gift card ready to be run through the credit machine) so I took another peak at these fancy bags and after looking at all the varies shapes, sizes and features, I just fell in love with this diaper bag!!!

Called the Petunia Pickle Bottom Cake - Hampton Holdall Diaper Bag...



The name alone, "Cake" reminded me of a tea party (the ones I used to have with my grandma) and all the tea parties I am gonna have with "my daughter." (I can't help but love saying the word "daughter." I think I have told everyone this week about "my daughter.") Not to mention, the bag will forever remind me of all the great pieces of red velvet cake I have eaten lately (thank you, Sprinkles, Larchmont Bungalow and hubby's sushi red velvet cake).

Anyhow, it's such a splurge, but I think us girls need to treat ourselves every once in a while. I am not going to be buying any high falutting shoes or purses for a while so why not splurge for a diaper bag which I will be using for 3 years!! Anyhow, I can't wait to get it!!!

Buffalo Wild Wings

When I was going to Michigan State University, my friends and I would always go to BW3's for hot wings. They always had a variety of flavored wings from Honey BBQ to steaming hot, hot, death wings. Wings and a beer were just the thing to satisfy a busy student's appetite. When we frequented BW3's it was a dive bar but by the time my brother graduated from MSU they swapped locations for a building across the street and turned the name to Buffalo Wild Wings and the restaurant became more like a chain thing. Well, color me shocked the other day when we went to the movies and I saw a Buffalo Wild Wings being built in the AMC Burbank 16 complex. Apparently, after looking on their website they are one of the fastest top 10 chains in the US. So of course I had to introduce the hubby to one of my favorite college treats. I don't think he is so much a fan of chicken wings so we got boneless chicken wings a.k.a. tasty little chicken chunks in two of the flavored sauc...

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

The Lost Art of Letter Writing

This week I was the recepient of two postcards. In the age of e-mailing and blogging this is a rare occurrrance. It's not that people don't write anymore it's just they are doing it in different forms and I think in less personal forms. It's kinda sad when you think about it. For me, there is nothing better then getting a hand written letter in the mail because it means someone was specifically thinking about you. Writing a letter these days takes a lot of effort when GMail is so near. I mean a person has to pick out stationary (if they even have any on hand), find time to sit down and compose a letter (and who has a spare half hour these days?), find or buy a stamp and actually walk the letter to the mailbox. With all this effort, no wonder people email these days! My girlfriend Becky and I joke that the United States Postal Service has become "Snail Mail." Most times before a letter gets to us these days we already know the information inside ...
