Consume!
I ran errands today and bought 2 amazing things:
A new shower curtain (which now precipitates the finding of new towels and rugs):
I also purchased a cupcake carrier. This brought on the urge to take it for a test toast (I say that because of that damn Simpsons episode when Homer travels through time because of the toaster. It's honestly a chore for me to say "test drive."). Success!
Also, because some of you were curious about the robe that I posted about, here's a close up of the fluff. It's a minty green, but that was hard to capture in my bathroom's light. I call it "The Muppet."
Here's a gratuitous shot of my new purse. I love it.
I also went to the grocery store, bought some foodables, and ran to Target and managed to escape without going crazy. Setting foot in a chichi baby boutique was also in the cards - a friend is having her first critter so I had to get a shower gift. The store was out of the stuff I really wanted to get her, so I ended up getting the "I'm going home!" outfit and an amazing little blanket that's satin on one side, super-soft chennile on the other. Some of the stuff in the store was really cute, but the majority of it made me fear children even more. Or, more accurately, breeders of them.
So that's my weekend in a nutshell. I spent a lot of money and ran around in the gorgeous weather. Friday night I went out straight after work and drank too much hard cider - yet was surprisingly spry the next day. I'm all out of whack.
Ooh, one more thing: for those of you with cats, I highly suggest you run to your nearest Target and buy a few packs of the sponge balls cat toys they have now - kiki loves them! I bought her one pack, and then my roommie bought 2 more. It's fun to throw them all at once - she totally freaks out. They bounce really well too, and if you step on one, it just smooshes and you don't die. $2/pack is quite a bargain too.

I shopped and spent money this weekend, too, but it was all on me for a change.
I love me a good Target binge. Right now I am eyeing a convection toaster oven.
My mom has a convection oven/microwave - very nice. Toaster ovens have never done anything for me (I prefer to either just toast, or I'll use the regular oven). Also, in the past few weeks, I've encountered 2 people with current toaster oven burns on their hands. Be careful!
I will have to see if the Target toys are the sort HRT and TK approve of. They're very picky.
Breeder stores. Shudder.
Your shower curtain really is lovely. I am a fan of the charcoal, purple and white.
Oooh! What kind: brand, model???
I think they're kind of a commodity now.
If you have a choice, get the bigger size as opposed to the smaller. And the pizza stone rocks.
It is going to be a very long time before we bother to replace the big oven now that I have this baby. Since I don't do lots of baking or giant holiday meals. Between that and the microwave, I haven't found anything I couldn't get cooked yet.
The convection makes all the difference over old-skool toaster ovens.
