I don't normally dedicate entire posts to deals I find online, but this one is too nifty not to share. In addition to the $15 credit you get for signing up with One Kings Lane through this link, you save $15 by using coupon code get-inspired - a total savings of $30! Already have an account? Use a different email address and open another one! There are plenty of pretty things to buy for $30 and less. I just purchased a 12 inch Le Souk Ceramique Tagine. The retail price is listed at $70 and it has wonderful reviews on Amazon. My cost? $11.95, including shipping! One Kings Lane is a little bogged down at the moment (for obvious reasons) but keep trying if you can't connect. It's worth it! What awesome deals have you found on One Kings Lane?

Sexy Nerd is spending the weekend with his super cute, paper towel-eating baby niece (and developing an extreme case of Baby Madness!) and I'm crunching the numbers to take the two of us on a little Hawaiian vacation. What is everyone else up to?

Let's rewind to high school, when my stubborn teenage self insisted (demanded!) at the orthodontist's office on the very last appointment before getting braces that there was no way I was ever, EVER going to put those sharp, ugly things in my mouth. My mom told me that I'd regret it and would have to pay the thousands of dollars for braces myself in another 10 years or so. I knew she was wrong. I just knew it. Now, I'm at an age where my smile just doesn't send the professional image I would like. Between you (the entire internet world!) and me, I don't have the most attractive front teeth. I had my teeth fixed in the 3rd grade after a little accident, (Face, meet Road) and now, 20-something years later, the composite build ups are chipped and showing their age, with a noticeable horizontal line separating real tooth from fake. Oh, and as if this weren't all bad enough, the 2 teeth are different sizes with a gap between them! When I told my boss, a ...

Woot! Woot! It's time to mix it up with another Not "Baaad" Sundays linky at LambAround. Be sure to mingle with your fellow blog partiers. There's no room for shyness at a blog hop! And, since you're all such wonderful party guests, I just know you'll post my pretty link up button. You're cool like that. "Baaaaa!"
