Back to Reality

333, 332, 331, 330, 329, 328, 327, 326 more days to go...

I'm back on the east coast leaving behind my sister, sunshine, the beach, mornings without alarm clocks, and apparently, Spring (it is NOT warm in Philly). At least I come home to warm puppies and a cuddly (although overworked) husband. What a fun and relaxing vacation:) The weather was perfect, for the most part; Vegas was a blast, and I'm pretty sure I've gained about 40lbs from all the delicious foods: Jen and I ate 14 desserts (we counted) for dinner one night...it sounds indulgent (Ha!) but we did share them so technically I only ate 7.

I think I surprised more than myself by actually sticking to my 'no-clothes-shopping' policy. It sucked, especially since I did go window shopping with Jen and she bought some adorable outfits:( Instead, I discovered Basin White in Las Vegas and bought 20+ slices of soap; I had to buy something, besides, they're functional, smell really really good, and make great gifts. We hit up J-town in LA where I got some cute Hello Kitty things ( i love hello kitty)...those Japanese really know how to make and package things so damn cutely. Plus, I had to replenish my stash of Hello Kitty items since the husband sold my old collection at a yard sale over the summer for 5 bucks (remember that Honey?)

This was the first time that I didn't pack my famous sweatshirt for a vacation. It was a little sad but I think that it's had a good life, considering it has been all over the world. Well, look at that...I think this is what they call 'progress':)
