{Nordstrom Continues To Oppose Christmas Creep via Consumerist}
I knew there was a reason I loved Nordstrom - and not just for their beautiful shoe department!
If only Macy’s thought like this…we’ve been in Xmas decore since November 1st. Fa la la!

I’m not a Wal-Mart shopper. It’s not because I boycott the store, it’s because there isn’t one close to me. BUT after reading this I can pretty much say that I will never shop in a Wal-Mart. I have heard random anti-walmart stories in the past (who hasn’t!) but this…this is absolutely disgusting! So, sorry Wal-Mart, the little bit of biz you may have gotten out of me here and there…ain’t gonna happen! And I hope you don’t believe in karma, cuz if you do you are seriously in for an ass kicking.
Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve posted. Sooo sorry followers! Work and life have over taken me and my computer time has taken a significant hit. Probably not a bad thing in reality, but girl needs her lazy time! At any rate, I am back! What’s new in my life isn’t that significant…it’s pretty much the same. I work a lot, I get stressed a lot at work, I still sleep too much, and I’m still broke. But I am trying to be more of an “adult” if you will and be more productive. Spend less time in front of the tv and more time w/ friends, cook more, clean more, basically be a normal human being that does more than watch tv and sleep. It’s a work in progress. At any rate, I’m back and I hope you are all excited for my crazy posts! Holla!
So, last week is was in the hot and sunny land of Arizona and now I am back to a blizzardy Colorado! Funny how that works. I think this climate change may be taking a tole on my allergies…oy.
So, my family and I ventured to Arizona last week for 2 different events. First was my Grandma’s memorial in Tucson :o( Miss you, Grandma! (and Grandpa!) Although it was nice to see some of my extended family, it was still a sad event. *sniff*
But after that my familia drove to Scottsdale for a MUCH happier event…a wedding!! It was my “cousin’s” aka really good family friend’s wedding and it was spectacular! I can’t even begin to describe how beautiful it was. The whole weekend was fantastic and I’m sad that it’s over and I’m back in the real world. There was dancing and drinking and partying and it was just magical. I am still thoroughly exhausted after all of the festivities.
So now I’m back in good ole’ Colorado and dealing with a massive snow storm! I actually LOVE the snow so I don’t mind this one bit, although, I am a little peeved that I have to go in to work today…like anyone will be shopping! Ha! I think I’m going to bring with a magazing or something to read and keep me occupied.
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow…
So besides the hilarious DQ episode, nothing too exciting has been going on in my life. Origins is going fabulously! I’m so glad I made the switch. I am selling SOO much more and actually enjoy the product. Yeehaw! It’s so nice to feel productive at work.
I’m going to good ole’ Arizona at the end of the week with my family for 2 different events. First we are going to Tucson for my Grandma’s memorial. In Judaism, you have a memorial one year after the passing which is when the headstone is revealed. So that will be the first part of the trip (*sniff*) and then we will be on to a happier occassion in a different part of Arizona for a wedding. The wedding is black tie optional, so it should be fabulous! Now if only I could find the perfect pair of shoes for my dress…argh.
And on that wedding note, I just found out that my good friends from Chicago are engaged!!! Congrats Maria and Jordan! Woohoo!
And because we all know that my cooking skills are still sub-par, I can’t forget my awesome moment of getting home the other night and opening up my package of what I thought was a fillet-o-trout only to realize that I got the wrong thing and the head and tail where still attached…ewww! I did de-head the fish and cooked it and it actually turned out pretty good, so I guess it all worked out in the end, but what a surprise that was!
Anyway, happy Sunday, Everyone! xoxo
Yesterday I was on my lunch break and I ventured to the food court to get a drink at Subway, which is conveniently located next to Dairy Queen. As I’m passing Dairy Queen I notice a familiar face… There is a lady who frequents the mall with her two small long haired yorkies. Cute, right? Well…this woman puts her pups in a doggie stroller. Yes, a doggie stroller. Now, she isn’t the first person I’ve seen at the mall to put her dogs in a stroller, but she is however, the first I’ve seen to put a hat on one dog and a bow on the other and then do this: She is at DQ and she orders 2, TWO! ice creams. One for her and yes, you guessed it, one for her dogs. Now you may be thinking, “Oh please! It’s for her hubby/boyfriend/friend/etc you nutter!” But oh no. She takes a seat and table and proceeds to spoon feed the pups vanilla soft serve. Yeah. You can’t make this stuff up people, I saw it with my own two eyes (watering with laughter I should mention). Yikes, lady, yikes…
