While we dig out from the Valentine's Day blizzard, I heard this broadcast on NPR last week about the best and worst chocolate. My favorite quote about Donnelly chocolates, ""That was the best liquor-chocolate combo I've ever had," said one. "So much better than Pabst." Is there a chocolate product line for Pabst that I'm not aware of?
Enjoy the reading...and perhaps the eating.
Mom (me): Stop fighting. I need to make a call.
Daughter #1: But you're driving. Isn't that illegal?
Daughter #2: What's illegal?
#1: Against the law.
#2 (with glee): We're going to see a policeman?
Mom: No. It is not against the law to make a call. <starts dialing with her thumb, keeping her eyes on the road>
<cue baby waking up from her nap and crying>
#1: Mom! Baby's awake.
#2: Where's the paci?
Mom <stops dialing, fidgets in her handbag for a pacifier instead>: Here. <starts thumb dialing again>
#1: Can you turn on Radio Disney?
#2: I want XM Kids.
<Mom sighs that deep mom-sigh and puts down the phone again to turn on the radio>
#1: I hate XM Kids. All they ever play is that whiney babysitter. And stupid baby songs.
#2: Well I like it. I can't understand Radio Disney songs.
<Mom finds 80s on 8...because they have naughty words on the Gangsta rap stations. She picks up her phone and tries to dial for a third time>
#1: Mom! This music is so old. It's so last century!
#2: I'm hungry. Are we there yet?
<Mom realizes she's never going to make this call, throws her cellphone in her purse and finds a box of raisins and juicebox>
So if you, like me, need your hands to do something else while you're driving (and don't EVEN go there), grab this great deal at buy.com on the Jafra headset for $29.99.
I know the words "Cashmere" and "Neiman Marcus" and "Deal" seem odd in the same sentence. But. NM has some of the best cashmere in retail. Usually their 'own brand' is 4-ply or even 8-ply, not that cheap, nasty 2-ply yarn that Macy's is famous for (and obviously costs much less...and lasts for only a season or two).
So understanding that bit of background, you might be able to appreciate it when I say that Neiman Marcus Cashmere Sweaters and Tops are on sale for ONE DAY ONLY at a mere $70 (or less...poke around because everything is between 50-70% off). These are wardrobe investment pieces. Like these yummy cardigans. Oh WHERE is my TAX REFUND?!!!
If you need some new bedding (and no, I don't need details), Lands End is having an amazing sale -- up to 90% off, which in my mind is basically free. So just buy it and enjoy the feel of fresh 400TC cotton for $12 (or less).
JC Penney is having a big sale on items to spruce up your home. Some good deals on home accents like this Hayden leather chair for only $449 (reg. $999) or this lamp to match.
Spend $49+ and get free shipping with coupon code: 7SUPER
At the risk of sounding like an Amazon groupie (3 sequential posts...what do I do all day long?!!), Amazon also has a great deal on a Kingston Data Traveler 1 GB USB Flash Drive. These babies work really well with Macs (and pc's)...great for storing and sending pics. Only $13 on sale (normally $31). Pick up 2 and get free shipping!
Need a great hair straightener? I HIGHLY recommend the Farouk 1-inch ceramic iron that is now on sale for a bargain at Amazon...only $81.99. I've never see it on sale before and it normally retails for $175+. It is the best hair product I've ever used. And if you know me IRL, and you've seen my wild locks tamed into a sleek straight look, it's because of this product.
Of course I got mine through a stylist friend who sold it to me wholesale...but if you don't have friends like that, you won't regret the Amazon price.
