Congratulations....

The best coffee around...

My friend Chris and I were talking about illy coffee yesterday over brunch at Tasi, and both agreed that it truly is the best! I stumbled across this post today and was beside myself. illy and Coke paired up, and are set to roll out three chilled espresso-based drinks - Caffe’, Cappuccino and Latte Macchiato - across Europe this year and in other parts of the world in 2009. I can't wait to try them!

A little housekeeping...

I got a comment over the weekend from an anonymous person that was nasty and very hurtful!

I keep this blog totally for fun ... it provides an escape from work, and allows me to post about things that I love.

So please, if you don't like my blog do us both a favor and don't read it!!

Now all I need is a beach...

I've had a gift card to Victoria's Secret forever, and this morning I finally spent it! This is my new bathing suit! Except I ordered it in emerald green. I will most likely look just like her in it too :)

Snowy Weekend in Review:

BLIZZARD 2008 Hit Columbus! We got over 20 inches of snow this weekend, and were stranded from Friday night - Sunday morning. Pictures from Columbus Underground.


Friday Night: Dinner party at our house = Homemade Lasagna + salad + cherry pie + TONS of wine, then walked to Beck Tavern where we drank, played darts and almost got in a fight! (and it wasn't the men, it was me Erica + Maggie that almost got in a fight with some guys!).

Saturday: We walked to Einstein Bros. Deli for lunch, proceeded to watch mindless tv all afternoon (shows such as Make Me a Supermodel, The Real Housewives of NYC and Men in Trees), Kevin and North came over with beer and we drank and played catch phrase, then walked to Jimmy V's to meet Erica + Conroy for some additional boozing + dinner, then we walked home and passed out around 10pm!

Sunday: Walked to Church, dug my car out of the mound of snow it was under, lunch and shopping with my mom and sister, then Pete and I went to dinner at Brio and the opening night of Tabloid at Shadowbox!

It was an absolutely delightful weekend ... I just hope it doesn't snow again soon :)

Yet another reason why I adore Audrey Hepburn...

Did you know that Audrey Hepburn had a pet fawn named Pippin? She kept the fawn at her home and became attached to it. It shopped with her, took naps beside her, and followed her around all day. These black and white photos of Audrey + Pippin were available here, but unfortunately sold out yesterday!

Maybe I should trade Lucy in for a fawn?!?

my latest obsessions...

My extra large Anna Corinna Bag, Clif Bars (especially in Blueberry crisp and Banana nut bread!), The Millionaire Matchmaker, my SUPER soft pink sleep mask, and our wine of the month club membership!

Weekend in Review:
