September 19th, 2007 @ 11:02 pm | up to | Post a CommentI’m stealing this idea from not martha.
Drinking
Vinho Verde
It all started many moons ago on a trip to Akron, and now husband and I are both hooked on this kind of wine. It’s very light, tart (grapefruity even), a tad bubbly, and best of all, CHEAP. Ask your local wine shop if they carry this Portuguese white. I’ve liked all three brands (vintages?) I’ve tried.
Searching
Retail Me Not
You know when you’re shopping online and you get to the point when it prompts you to enter the coupon code, but you don’t have a coupon code, and it really wouldn’t have bugged you except they asked for a coupon code and so now you feel like you are getting a bad deal if you don’t use a coupon code and BY GOLLY I AM NOT GOING TO HIT THAT PURCHASE BUTTON UNTIL I SCOUR THE INTERNETS FOR A COUPON CODE? Maybe it’s just me. Anyway, this site gathers bazillions of coupon codes to search through before you buy, and as a little bonus for your eyeballs, the interface is actually kind of pretty!
Wanting
Fiesta Piggy Bank
I can’t pinpoint exactly why I love this little piggy so much, but I just do! Found via Rare Bird Finds.
Reminiscing
pink painted rooms
In college, I painted my bedroom the cutest color of cotton candy pink. It was kind of silly, but I so totally loved it. When the sun shone through my darker pink curtains, the room filled with a warm glow that was just perfect for an afternoon nap.
Joining

Because gosh, I really should spend 100% of my free time blogging instead of just 98.9%! Thanks for the suggestion, Elysa.
Tell me, what are you up to?

The secret’s out!

PLEASE tell me that is not a picture of your actual college room. Please, please, please. You got that picture out of a magazine or something, right?

In other news I am coveting this bag. Swoon.

All I was going to say - hell, all I can THINK about is what Pink Herring already said.
Is that your real college bedroom?? IS IT? If it is, I am coming to your new house immediately and stealing all your design plans, and also you need to stop whatever you’re currently doing and apply for Design Star or Top Design or one of those.
Ok? Ok.

ladies, ladies, of course that it not my room, it’s the fancypants designer room featured in the link above the photo.
(I guess this would have been a great opportunity to lie to you and fool you into thinking I really am a designer with an unlimited bank account, but sadly, it’s all lies.)

I adore Retailmenot! Actually I just usually type whatever store I’m buying from + coupons in the search engine and I can usually find at least one valid coupon. Last night I saved $15 at Old Navy!
And I’ll have to check out that 20 somethings blog site–I’m always looking for new blogs to keep me entertained at work

searching: for coupons and deals. Buying diapers and formula will do that! Love ebates.com. (Geeky me even added some of my own online coupon links in my sidebar)
watching: old episodes of Friends… need new TV to start soon.
eating: stuff that is not good for me…
spending: time planning and working on my BFF’s baby shower… too many cute ideas… too little time.
getting ready: to start back at work (off the bench type of work) tomorrow.
loving: the warmish-coolish fall days!

I heart that piggy bank, too–very cute! Sometimes we are just drawn to things & we don’t know why…but when that happens, I say BUY it.

I love pink rooms. We have not one, but two pink rooms in the house. One hot pink, one super pale.

What a great pink room. We’re trying to choose the colors for our new house. And can I tell you what I’m NOT into right now? I’m not into looking at ANY MORE SHADES OF GRAY. Seriously, kill me now.
(Although the “jeweled purple” for the powder room does make me happy.)

Okay.
a) Retail Me Not sounds amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you. *bows down in awe of your greatness*
b) That piggy bank is crazy. I think it’s giving me a seizure.
c) I have a very similar clock as the one in the pink room. It’s a sign.
…a sign of what, I’m not sure.
