if only in a dream....LOL!!!

greetings!

well, we finally made it home from a wonderful vacation in florida. unfortunately, all good things must come to an end! not for long, luckily we will be heading back down in a couple of months.

tonight we came home to 37 degree weather and what little snow we had in chicago before we left was GONE....yeah!!! too bad plenty more snow is on the horizon, after all it's january in chicago...LOL!

oh well, this afternoon i walked to the end of a pier. while making my way down i couldn't get the movie "dear john" out of my head, LOL!!

i wonder if channing tatum would save my louis vuitton if it fell into the ocean?!?!??! LOL! no really...okay, a girl can dream can't she, LOL!

oh well, i am pretty exhausted! so i am going to sign off for now. just i hope i can stay up long enough to watch the end of the "craiglist killer" --- not sure i will be able to do so, but i'll give it a shot! okay, the movie just got a little better....billy baldwin is on, YUMMY!!!!

later,

PLD

you know you want one!

...YUMMY!!!

i haven't had these in years, in fact i don't keep treats around the house period! however, for some reason i couldn't resist picking up a package. thanks very little target for having these on sale for $2.79...LOL! thanks a lot! HA! HA!

M.I.A.

greetings!!

sorry, i have been M.I.A. for the past couple of days. work has been crazy [lots of over-time, fun! fun! fun!] and my dell inspirion's motherboard is fried!

so needless to say, PLD ordered a new laptop today! ARGH...can't believe my computer lasted 2 years ---almost to the day i rec'd it!!

anyway, i loved my dell inspirion and ordered another dell inspirion. different model, but still for the amount of $$$ spent on these suckers you'd think they would last longer!

oh well, i should be back to posting soon!!!

have a great week!

greetings!

hope you all are having a fabulous week! is it friday yet? ha! ha!

tonight my husband and i went over to our favorite seafood restaurant for dinner. we each enjoyed one of these little guys ...or girls? ha! ha!

below is a photo of braxton's seafood grill, which is located at oakbrook centre in oak brook, illinois. if you are ever in the area and looking for a place to enjoy some seafood...be sure and stop on over!
below is a view from the bar area:
afterwards, i decided to venture around the mall. i was hoping to find a few shirts for work, but didn't have much luck!

i did end up purchasing this cute blouse from banana republic. it was on sale for $17.99.....however, it ended up ringing up at $13.90 - HELLO! i love it when i find deals! originally this blouse retailed for $59.50. i don't know about you, but when i shop i head straight for the sale section first!

i also picked up two candles at bath & body works. someone posted about this candle a couple of days ago. sorry, i can't remember who? anyway, this candle from slatkin & co - island margarita --- smells AWESOME!!!!! they are on sale right now 2 for $15, a $17 or $19 savings --- can't remember, sorry?as you can tell, i have it burning right now and it smells awesome! then again slatkin & co candles usually do!

oh well, not it's time to unwind and relax from a busy day at work....only to get up and do it all over again tomorrow! luckily, friday is around the corner! ....and that means i will be heading out of town for the weekend!

i am so looking forward to going up north to the cottage. if the weather is anything like it is outside it's going to be a fabulous weekend! looking forward to some shopping, wine tasting and visiting with family & friends!

oh well, hope you all took advantage of the sales i previously posted about --- lots of deals!

have a great night!

oh yea, almost forgot...any hugh jackman fans out there? well, he's filming a movie in my hometown! where might that be? grosse pointe farms, michigan.

also, a couple of weeks ago pierce brosnan was filming in grosse pointe as well! talk about a little hollywood...love it! of course, all this filming would happen when i am not around to stalk the filming - hee! hee!

i also heard rumors that miley cyrus might be filming a movie in grosse pointe sometime this summer?

then of course there was clint eastwood who filmed parts of gran torino in grosse pointe as well. i am sure there are others but those are a few that came to mind....oh besides john cusack in grosse pointe blank --- only the lake sceen was actually filmed in grosse pointe though. ha! ha!

okay, enough movie talk...have a great night!
