recent aquisitions
1. Cadbury Fruit and Nut bar - purchased for K's Christmas stocking, I had forgotten that Cadbury bars are pretty good. He's been sharing it.
2. Yankee Candle Tahitian Tiare Flower candle - a gift from Oldest. Does it smell like old lady perfume? Hard to tell. Still testing.
3. Ugg Classic Short boots - in chocolate brown, from K. I may never wear socks again. I know every teenager in town wears them, I know they are the Crocs of winter. I DON'T CARE.
4. Top round roast beef - we don't really have roast beef in our rotation of meals. K did a great job roasting it and we've been eating it in sandwiches with horseradish mayonnaise on thick slabs of bread. I'm loving it.
5. Cascade dishwasher tablets - I've never thought much about our dishwasher detergent. I think I always used the stuff in the plastic bottle because my mom did. But Youngest asked for these (god only knows why) and I like them. They come in a bag and I love the fact that I always know how many are left. I never knew when the stuff in the bottle was going to run out.
I know this is an odd thing, but it pleases me.
6. One case each of Ito En Green Tea, Rose Green Tea and Green White Tea - I drink this unsweetened tea all day long. It's very light and has subtle flavors. I was without it for a few days last week and PRACTICALLY DRIED UP. I happened to be at the supermarket when they were unloading cases of it and bought one of each. And got a discount to boot.
7. A round trip ticket to Chicago - free! courtesy of air-miles and my sweet husband! I'm going to a cocktail party. In Chicago! And I'm going to see my Blogher pals.

But perhaps you can tell me what I'd like to have in New York in the fall?
Chocolate is good. Trips to Chicago are great -- especially if they're in the summer and not the dead of winter. You'll need those Uggs (and more) if you visit when it's cold.
I have to tell you that if you were to walk around here wearing Ugg and eating Cadbury's you would not be able to buy a drink because everybody would assume that you were still at school. I'm sorry, but you had to know.
I'm waiting until I leave school (wear everyone has some) to get Ugg boots, then I will wear them with adult class, as I'm sure you are!
Will take the Cascade suggestion, why did youngest fall in love with them? That man has good taste.
Cadbury bars--love 'em, but can't keep them in the house (akin to leaving bottles of scotch around an alcoholic--not a good idea for me!)
The flower candle? I got something similar from my son's girlfriend--I had the exact same impression upon first whiff (old lady perfume). twas VERY sweet she got me something, though!
Roast Beast? I can not pick out a decent cut of meat nor cook one properly to save my soul (with the notable exception being steak on the grill--I KILL on the grill!)
Cascade dishwater tablets rock! Wouldn't use anything else.
Ito Tea? going to try some--trying (2008 resolution) to kick the diet soda habit; this may be the ticket to success...
Chicago? it's a toddlin' town--have fun!
We use that dishwasher detergent. Or something like it. We have the one with the little ball in it. We'll never go back to the powder or liquid again.
Happy New Year BB :)
And someone who is shaped like me may or may not have already eaten my hubby's Cadbury Fruit & Nut bar . . .
The sandwich got my mouth watering
And the cocktail party in Chicago just made me jealous. I'm in Chicago every month for work, but I don't get cocktail parties when I'm there. I just get more work.
Have lots and lots of fun, wearing you UGGS, munching a sandwich, eating your chocolate and drinking your tea.
Why not?
I had to wipe the drool from my keyboard after browsing through all the Uggs at Zappos. Can I justify $153 for a pair of Sullivans? Time will tell...

Chocolate brown Uggs? Like my wicked good bean slippers but better? lucky girl.
I want some uggs. :)
Is your Cadbury's chocolate Australian or English?
I hope your Uggs are legitimate ones made from Aussie sheep.
Once you move to dishwasher tablets you never.go.back.
I find the American predeliction for drinks other than water fascinating. The fact your favourite are unsweetened comforts me greatly.
A trip! On a plane! WOOHOO.
Hey! What. . is that a real lime tree, with real limes, growing in your living room?
That's awesome!
