misosouper, a shopping blog

At the end of a long day, I just want to put my feet up on a soft, cozy cushion, and have someone bring me a cold, tasty beverage.

A plant that can withstand chronic distraction and neglect? Finally, I have a fighting chance to cultivate my desire to garden without risk of total failure.

My sister sent me a text message this week that said, “omg. Just made the mistake of opening the latest Land of Nod catalog. Want want want!” I didn’t even have to ask to what she was referring. Their new pirate bedding set is ah-maz-ing, and reminds of this wallpaper I was already coveting. We both might have to splurge.

The new Room and Board catalog just landed on my doorstep. I hadn’t even cracked the cover before I spied something that I wanted. Oh, what I would give for an unlimited home furnishing budget.

I’m all packed and ready to leave for Alt Summit tomorrow! I shouldn’t be congratulating myself for packing a 3-day trip into a carry-on, but I’m very pleased with myself for succeeding. I do wish, however, that my suitcase had a little more class than the Samsonite brick on wheels I’ll be hefting into the overhead. Like this, for example. But with enough room for the four pairs of shoes I’m bringing.
