warehouse sales

i went to the SFERRA outlet/warehouse sale today. it was insane. i got there at 7.30am (it opened at 7am) - and it was a zoo. apparently, ppl are swarming at the entrance half an hour before opening time, waiting for this event all year. but i have to say it was worth it. i bought two new sheet sets, duvet cover, sheets, and two towel sets all for the price of say, one duvet cover, normal price. let me tell you, there is no reason to buy anything at full price. there's a Malo sale today in the city. it may be cold in nyc, but boy, the sample sales are good.

i just wish they had the same thing for tableware. i've got great sheets, great towels and great furniture. now i just need new dishes!

oh, and lights too. i need some better lighting, bc man does it get dark early.

fall is here...

and may not last for very long. it was 39degrees outside this morning when i woke up. at least it's not raining. sunny, but cold. makes me want one of these. Like now. my dad's got a gas fireplace at his place. it's pretty sweet.

in california ppl have fireplaces but never use them. i used to wonder why they were in houses in LA at all. but now if i could have one, i would. it makes the air smell good, and more importantly the house warm. but central heating works pretty well too.

what a boring post. i've got to come up with a more entertaining way about this.

i'm back!!!!

i've moved to new jersey. my hair is no longer curly. i live by myself. wow, life has changed a lot. and i'm about to brace for the winter.

now why have i come back to the blogsphere? that's the real question. my answer? because i love home & garden. if you know what i'm doing these days, then that makes sense. if you don't, well, don't think i'm a sweet homemaker looking to be the perfect housewife for the perfect husband. not me.

but i do like kitchen sinks. i like kitchen sinks a lot. and kitchens, yeah, kitchens too.
