Urban Outfitters $5 Sale, until supplies last
I get sale notifications by text message (as if email wasn’t enough). Is that wrong? Well, right or wrong, it means we all get to take advantage of a great sale.
Urban Outfitters is having an online “Last Chance” sale. You really can’t beat $5. Unless it’s a $4 sale, which this is not. Wait, it’s $5 and under, so I guess I was wrong.
Oh, just go to the sale. Thanks.
Coach Factory Outlet - Good through 7/25/10
Here’s another great deal (my inbox is full of them!): Coach Factory Outlet already has great prices, but you can enjoy an additional 20% off by printing the coupon in the picture on the right.
It’s good through July 25 and you can click here for locations near you!
Neiman Marcus’ Last Call has yet another sale! Check the flier for more details.
I’m hoping that this means it’s an additional 50% off after the color stamped percentage off.
I guess I’ll just have to go to the sale to find out…
Is necessity the mother of invention, or is invention the mother of necessity? I’m not sure what your take is, but the inventor of this amazing gadget is a genius!
Handpresso Wild E.S.E.
Meet the Handpresso Wild E.S.E (Travel Set). I found it on Illy.com because I received an email about their 3 day sale (which started yesterday). This blog post is going under “Galley Goodies”, “Deal of the Day” and a new category called “Fully Caffeinated” because of the nifty gadget, the Illy.com sale (enter ESUMMER7 at checkout to get your discount) and because I’m addicted to anything with caffeine.
Basically you just pump the machine, add hot water, put in the pod of Illy and you have espresso! Whether in the car, in a hotel room, when you’re camping or practically anywhere, you can have delicious Illy espresso at your disposal. You can also keep your Handpresso protected because the hard travel case is included.
The only drawback I see is that you have to purchase the E.S.E. pods from Illy, but even that isn’t enough of a drawback for me. The coffee addict in me just can’t turn away from such a magnificent piece of caffeinated machinery!
Like the new look and the new layout? I changed the header, adding my own title and a tagline, which is a line from the song “Any Second Now” by Depeche Mode (where my blog title was born). I needed to streamline the look a bit, so I made some upgrades and changed the fonts. I added an email subscription, and created a section for categories, archives, and some of my favorite links.
I’m getting ready for Dominic’s grandmother and great-grandmother to come into town. My own mother went to the casino for the day, so I’m waiting for my husband to return from golf so he can stay with our son. This will allow me a little shopping time at the outlet mall, and I intend to use that great Last Call coupon (see the “Deal of the Day” section). I think we’re going to the San Diego Zoo tomorrow, which will be fun for Dominic.
My sister is going to Philippe’s today with her family. It was featured on one of our favorite shows, “Man vs Food” (the Travel Channel), and she’s going to give me a review with pictures to let me know if it’s as awesome as it was on the telley.
Alright, I’ve got to prepare for my mini-trip to the mall. I say mini-trip because I have a specific destination. Call it a mission, if you will. I hope not to get sidetracked.
I think I can, I think I can…I think I can!
So true, Mr. George O’Dowd (AKA Boy George).
I don’t know how I lose track of time so easily, but I do. I’m always finding myself rushing to meet a deadline, or rushing to get to an appointment. I try so hard to get ready ahead of time, so that I won’t be late, but maybe I just work that way.
In “He’s Just Not That Into You”, Alex (Justin Long) says to Gigi (Ginnifer Goodwin) that women love the drama, which is why we become late on bills and why we deal with men in a certain way.
I was talking to a co-worker, shared that same quote, and she and I feel the same: it’s not about the drama, we just thrive under pressure. When something is due a month ahead, I never finish anywhere near the middle of the month. I’m always good at prepping for that deadline that far in advance, but once the prep work is done, that’s when I procrastinate. But it’s not because I like the dramatic side of getting close to a deadline, it’s because I have nothing motivating me to get it done sooner.
One time in college, I knew that I had a paper due on the Monday right after a big family party in the Palmdale/Victorville area of California. I wanted to get it done ahead of time, so I had all week to write that paper. What did I do? I wrote that paper the Friday night before we left that Saturday, burning the midnight oil until I finished that paper, which was at 7am. I packed for 2 hours. We then left around 9am, so the only sleep I had was the 3 hours driving there from San Diego!
Even when I’m trying to get ahead, I’m still can’t do it until the last possible minute. Believe it or not, I received a decent grade on that paper (I think it was a B+), so I guess there is a method to my madness after all.
I don’t know about you, but I absolutely love a great deal. Good thing for you that I also love to share those deals when I find them, so here is a new category called “Deal of the Day”. This is so I can share with all of you great online coupons, sales or any deals that I find.
Here is the first one: I’ve shared my love for Neiman Marcus Last Call with you on a previous post. They sent me a coupon that is good from July 15-19. It is for $50 off any item of $100 or more, but excludes color-stamped clearance items and jewelry.
I know I can find something at Last Call for over $100 that I would be willing to knock off $50 for! Take advantage of this great deal!
Not a very exciting post today, but I am selling my cute black Prada open toe pumps. I tried so hard to make them work, but they definitely were just too big.
I have another pair that are a size 39 (which fit very well), but these are a size 40. If you know anyone who would be interested, here is the link on ebay.
I’ll function a little better later today and post something with more substance…hopefully!
I miss my father with all of my heart. I look at my husband and my son, and it’s times like this where I realize that he never got to see my own little family. I look into the eyes of my son and I know just how much my daddy would have adored him.
So happy birthday daddy…it would have been 70 years today.
Hello friends. My internet at home has decided to take a bit of a vacation as the DLS in my area is not working. Today is my wedding anniversary anyway, so I’ll take a day away from the blog to celebrate 3 years (and counting!) of wedded bliss with my wonderful husband. Mom will be watching my little one while we have dinner.
I shall return!
