consumer alert!

i may be way behind the times and everyone already knows about this but.....Trader Joes has a salad dressing that is almost identical to Cafe Rios "creamy!!!" It is called Cilantro and its in the refrigerated section aaand it has 75% less fat than regular dressing (so they say, it doesn't say what the regular dressing is, be it lard or vinaigrette) but its good enough for me!!

the Vetrini/Rigatti/Coffey now Macey shopping gene

yesterday, i was stoked to buy Nick a new pair of work shoes marked at $165 for $23 and a $118 skirt for myself for $5!!!! so when my mom called this morning i was so excited to tell her, but before i could she completely trumped me by telling me she had just gotten home from Macys where she bought a coat marked at $750 for $65!!! and i'm sure that my 88 year old grandmother was also walking around the Macys sale! Just a reminder of the great shopping dynasty that I hail from! I have big shoes to fill, and if you ask Nick he will probably tell you that I am doing a good job of it!

..if only..


i am defrosting from the walk home from errands and a very fun un-employed ladies lunch by looking at pictures of our hawaiin honeymoon over thanksgiving! ooooh to be in Hawaii and not Chi-tundra right now!

i just received word that pending background check results ( i hope all those felonies don't scare them) I start working full-time at Morganstreetdocuments.com on Monday, I can't imagine what it is going to be like working full-time (plus the awful commute) after having 6 months of nothing but free time!

Luckily, thanks to my birthday tomorrow and my sweet husband I have 3 hours at the spa tomorrow to be pampered before I start worrying about working for the man!

if only it was at a spa in hawaii!!

chiggy chiggy chi town


I'm back in chi-town! I got back from SLC this afternoon, after reading that sweet little Lairds service was this morning, I tried to extend my stay until tomorrow morning but there were no tickets available for less then a months worth of groceries!

SLC was very fun, Nick and I visited many friends and most of his family, ate at all the eateries we miss, learned how to knit, saw almost all of the sweet little kids i use to nanny and even looked at a townhouse. (no worries chi chi we're not leaving you for a few more years!)

Nick had to fly straight to Cincinnati, so hopefully it will not snow on Thursday so he can be home for V-Day! and how am i celebrating our 6 month wedding anniversary tonight? with a dinner of favs...a can of lima beans, tofu pan fried with lemon and pepper and of course candy hearts!

p.s. the picture is from our wedding; I of course had to have candy hearts at the candy bar at our wedding...even it it was in August!
