There's No Place Like Home...

So I am in Denver for the week for a training class for work. While I am having the time of my life, enjoying the shopping and happy hours, I am also missing many things from home...

Like my little baby/doggie, Bella -

And my wonderful hubby -

But mostly, I am missing...my own BED!!!!

I never sleep well in other beds, mainly because I love my own bed and pillows soooo much. It seems like I can never get a good night's sleep anywhere else!

If you have to stay in a hotel, though, The Hotel Monaco is the place to be. I will definitely tell you all about it when I get back home and have more time to blog, but for now I am going to say good night, read my latest book, and hang out with my hotel room fish!!!

THE FIRST

So I have thought long and hard about how to start this first post, and after much soul-searching, I have come up with...NOTHING!

I have been sitting in meetings all day at work and while everyone else is chatting away about important work stuff I have been daydreaming about my first blog post. It is just so scary!!! I mean, I know no one is actually reading these yet, but someday they might actually have to entertain an audience. YIKES.

Well, I guess if nothing else, I will give you a peek into my shopping bag at present. I am signed up with this discount website through work and occasionally they send me emails about special sales and coupons that I can get through them. Yesterday was one of those days. As I am committedly trying to finish up some very important work stuff, an email pops up - GET AN ADDITIONAL 20% OFF OF SALE ITEMS AT THE GAP ONLINE. I thought, "There goes the rest of my afternoon!" And sure enough, 2 hours later I am the proud owner (well, sort of since they haven't actually shipped yet) of some fantastic new clothing. Take a look at some of my great scores:


GAP MOLESKIN COAT

GAP BOYFRIEND SWEATER


BANANA REPUBLIC DOLMAN-SLEEVE TOP

BANANA REPUBLIC SILK PRINTED TOP


GAP KAKHI PANTS



Now the question is how can I manage to integrate my fabulous new items into my wardrobe!!!! I'm sure there will be pictures to come...
