Retail Therapy

diablita · Mar 8, 2008

So I ducked out for a little bit of retail therapy this afternoon. 
First I went <a href="http://www.topsforshoes.com/" target="_blank">HERE</a> for shoe therapy. And I really did need shoes, so I bought these: <img alt="" src="http://i32.tinypic.com/sosrw3.jpg" style="border:0px solid;"> 
Then I went <a href="http://www.frenchbroadchocolates.com/shop.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> to the new chocolate lounge in town. I bought a few truffles to take home, then sat down and enjoyed a nice pot of tea and a lemon tart. mmm 
Now all I need is a nap and I'll be a new person!

Niiiice shoes! 
I've heard of those chocolate lounges and I would really like to visit one.

Those are cute shoes!!! 
We've got a few chocolate cafes around here. I assume they must be pretty close to the same thing. Mmm, now I want chocolate. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">

I love Tops! Great store. And the chocolate lounge will be on our next visit...yum. There used to be a decent chocolate store downtown - I can't remember the name of the street - sort of across the street and down a little bit from the library.

Welcome ihop and thank you for giving me a chance to use one of my all-time favorite Simpsons quotes: 
If this is the International House of Pancakes, how come I can't eat the walls?

Chocolate lounge?? Sounds like heaven.

speaking of retail therapy, you were asking me about baby bedding the other day... I don't know if the modern look is your style, but my SIL found some cute blankets here: <a href="http://www.modernbasics.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=MB&Category_Code=baby" target="_blank">http://www.modernbasics.com/mm5/merc...gory_Code=baby</a>

retail therapy this week: 
Fage Yogurt, fresh coffee beans. :cheer: 
I hate clothes shopping for myself, however, and waltzed in-out of Kohl's and Penney's without trying on a single item. 
~shudder~

Thanks LL! I love the pillows on that website! I wish they had more bedding collections b/c the materials seem wonderful, but I'm looking for something just a little different. (Though our living/dining room are very modern.)

MY retail therapy today consisted of black Levi's jeans ($ 32) 
and 
a new drive shaft for the car ($ 960) 
and 
groceries

I saw a really cute pair of shoes in a magazine ad yesterday. Figured they'd be pricy. Took a look and saw that they are at Payless. Regular price $25 and online they are listed on sale for $20. I hope to try them on this weekend, and pray that they are comfortable. <img alt="" src="http://www.payless.com/Images/300x300/060494_1_300x300.jpg" style="border:0px solid;">

and a pair of Bermuda shorts--son said they were cool. they'll be fun for vacation. 
I wasn't going to let him help with a swimsuit <img alt="uhoh2.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/uhoh2.gif">

I am in love with my rice cooker. What kind did you buy?

Buxtehude · Mar 8, 2008

Good idea! <img alt="uhoh2.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/uhoh2.gif">

that sounds like a very cute mother/son shopping trip!

*runs to look at it* 
Oster model 3072. I picked it because it had a delay time, a steamer basket, and a brown rice setting. <img alt="" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41izRsVD1VL._AA262_.jpg" style="border:0px solid;"> 
It's been involved in all 3 meals today <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif">
