this afternoon i made it over to nordstrom's to exchange the outfit i bought my nephew. i also ventured upstairs to check out a few scents. turns out there was a perfume event going on and well i ended up with a 1 oz. bottle of hanae morie parfum for $90. i also learned that the magical moon scent that i had before is no longer being sold at nordstrom's. macys will be carry it instead. anyway, i was tempted to but the eau de toilette bottle for $65.00, but was talked into the $90 parfum bottle instead. why? because if i bought the parfum i would get a FREE bottle of body cream a $53.00 value...SOLD!
sorry for the horrible photo...i am still searching for both of my digital cameras! i hope to find them soon!
while at the checkout counter, i was suckered me into signing up for the MOD card! UGH...i have been asked several times, each times i was strong and said, "NO!"...not today! darn it all! she was good! so i added a $10 gift card and they are sending me a $20 gift card, certificate or something like that. i felt uncomfortable providing my SSN and banking information, but went with it! oh well....at least now i will accrue points! hee! hee! looking back i should have joined earlier...oh well! when are those 10 point days? hee! hee!
i also stopped at talbot's and bought my mom a gift card for mother's day. i wrapped it, isn't the wrapping paper cute. i love it! now all i need is a bow and it's all set!
oh well, check out the tulips below -- aren't they beautiful! i couldn't pass up taking a photo..sorry! ha! ha!
yesterday i picked up a dungeness crab and now i need to decide what to do with it? so many choices! guess i better search for some simple recipes! it was a steal at costco for $4.99/lb. too good of a deal to pass up! i love costco!
say hello to my little friend... :)
oh, almost forgot there is a little story behind this dungeness crab! my parents are on vacation and spent the weekend in annapolis. today they stopped in d.c. and are in alexandria at this moment.
i told them to check out buddy's ribs & crabs [best seafood buffet!!!] and phillip's. they ate at cantler's riverside inn one night, lunch at buddy's yesterday and they ate at mcgarvey's the first night. today they had lunch at the fish market in alexandria and for dessert they were heading up to la madeleine! love la madeleine!! all before heading down to williamsburg for a wekk!
meanwhile, i gave them tips and pointers of places to stop and eat while in annapolis and alexandria. such a nice daughter sharing all my favorite hotspots! also, my sister lived & worked in alexandria a few years ago. so she also told them about places to check out in alexandria.
to make a long story short....basically, i am extremely jealous! i would love to be back in annapolis & alexnadria. so in their trip's honor i bought myself a dungeness crab! ha! ha!
i can't wait to take another trip down there next year for my 20 year high school reunion. yes, i did say "twenty" -- GULP!
speaking of my 20 year reunion...ironically, today i learned that one of our fella bloggers and i went to the same boarding school! small world, huh! so cool...and here i am trying to keep my blog anonymous, hee! hee!
oh well, have a great night!
