Pillows & Cakelove

I am in D.C. this week for work. So far, it has been a productive trip and I'm glad to be staying on-top of email while I am gone. Ever dread coming home from vacation because you know your email Inbox will be exceedingly long? That's how I was Sunday coming home from Orlando. I think I picked up Don's I-Phone 5 times to sort through what I could! Speaking of phones, I officially hate BlackBerry Pearls. I have had mine for a year and a half and I am about ready to chuck it out the window. Does anyone else have issues with the Pearl? About 4 times a day, my phone will erase all texts and call history. It won't allow any texts through or calls until I take out the battery and re-set it. It's absolutely rediculous! I hope to switch to the I-Phone as soon as I can before I lose my sanity. Okay, back on track.... Orlando trip. We had a great time! It was a quick trip, but worth it! The purpose of the trip was an event for Don's family. I only took one picture -- isn't that sad?!


The big apartment move starts Friday after I get home! However, I have not packed any boxes yet. I have not had any time! I plan to take pictures and document the entire process and will post about it next week, along with pictures when it is camera-ready. I have not bought anything for the apartment yet, just because I only plan to live in it for a short while. I do have a short need-list, though. One item being-- couch pillows. I love my cream couch, but it has cream pillows and needed a pop of color. I was at Pier 1 today after work and found these great pillows on a fantastic sale! **Please note: This is the first thing I have bought for myself in MONTHS** (see this post). Because of this, I stood in the store contemplating for several minutes whether or not to buy them and even turned around after I left the store to go return them because I felt guilty, but then I told myself to get a grip and that it was OK. I love them and they will look fab on my couch.

After I got to the hotel, I caught up on email, blogs, news, weather, you name it, and then went for a good workout! Featured below was my workout attire for the evening with Marie Claire magazine in tow!

Okay okay, I know... I went and got one cupcake at CakeLove, but that's because I had heard such great things about this place and had to try one! I had red velvet!
