my husband is already off golfing and i have so much planned for today! first off, i need to make a stop at costco to pick up some 4 or 5 metal shelving units. why do they have to open at 9:30am on a saturday?!?!?! shouldn't they be open by 8am...i certainly think so! ha! ha!
last night my husband and i enjoyed happy hour over at the white chocolate grill. love that place, yummy!!! anyway, after i decided to go shopping. SHOCKER!
i stopped over at nordstrom's and bought my mom a gift. she reads my blog, so i can't say what i bought. then i ventured over to costco where i played with a couple of GPS systems:
magellan roadmap 1700 GPS w/a 7" screen
my t-mobile g1 has GPS features, but i just had so much fun that i am contemplating buying one. my parents bought the garmin nüvi® 1450 5" and love it!
i know many of you have these fun gadgets to get you around. so i want to know your thoughts on the magellan and the garmin....is it worth it?
does the system ever fail on you? your feedback would be much appreciated! if i end up buying one i am definitely going to order online since, it ends up being $50 cheaper than the store...WEIRD!
oh well, on my way back home i stopped by swoozie's....but they had already closed for the day! boo!!! 
i peaked in and saw lilly pulitzer finally on sale for 50% off! they had tons of stuff...i am definitely going to stop by after costco! i might even pick something to giveaway on my blog...i am due for another blog giveaway! check back....time will tell! :)
almost forgot to mention, eveything is now 50-70% off! YEAH and that store was packed! :)
anyway, after peaking in at the windows at swoozie's i ventured a few doors down to my favorite bakery cafe! i highly recommend anyone visiting oak brook, illinois, to visit labriola. i love this place!
check out their bread selection:
and how about these soft pretzels that you can purchase w/beer cheese:
and check out this almond croissant:
just realized i forgot to take photos of the bakery area...ops! anyway, the food, pastries and mocha's are awesome....and now i am STARVING from looking at those photos - darn it! :)oh well, it's only 8:10am and costco isn't open for another 80 mins....ugh! i really need to get to costco for those shelving units, so i can tackle my garage--- aka storage! UGH! plus, i want to go over to armitage and michigan ave. for a little retail therapy! it's going to be a great day!
take care and enjoy the weekend!
