Kudos & Some Ass-Kicking

Kudos:

Room Service gets a big, big, big gold star! While Danielle did not have the item I needed in her store, she graciously offered to find it and call me once stocked (unfortunately, I needed it that day… poo on me for being a procrastinating last-minute shopper… blame Beer Week). She is such a fantastic, nice person, and I think her “goodness” is gosh-darn infectious. Plus, she runs a really super cute local store — and soon-to-open Holiday boutique in the Detroit Shoreway / Gordon Square Arts District (have we decided on a fixed name for this neighborhood?). Shop local, peeps!

And speaking of local, Banyan Tree, and apparently sell out almost immediately. And BT? Your gift wrapping? Totally cute. Thankness.

Lilly from Lilly’s Handmade Chocolates — my new discovery in Tremont! She was totally helpful in selecting a few different beers to add to AB’s gift, based on some of his favorite bottles and breweries (and a couple selected from our newly-discovered small crafts during Cleveland Beer Week). And then there was her chocolate… Yes, of course I bought it for my boyfriend. *cough*

If you can’t tell, I was walking all over Tremont this weekend. I’ll give back those ten calories I melted off walking from one-store-to-the-other (in a wool coat… *pant*) for another Temperanillo-soaked chocolate ball. Please?

Also, not sold in Tremont, but there is a porn parody of the TV show “Scrubs.” Seriously. It’s fairly difficult to watch…. err, enjoy(?) porn while yelling out character names. That is all about that.

Ass-Kicking:

Duo Home, you anger me. This was my third visit to the store where the “sales guy” just sat there behind the computer and said nothing. NOTHING. There was another couple in the store as well — they, too, walked out empty-handed. No link for you!

As I was browsing Banyan… psst, where’s the “Downtown Girl” t-shirt? Why we all gotta be east side/west side types? You know what else is annoying (but really, only a little), your website! Please update it — it is practically November.

My ass has been KICKED this week because of beer, which has trickled into my running and pushups (one word or two?) routine. I have another 5K in three weeks (thanks, boyfriend for the reminder this morning when I did not run. again). And I’m wearing practically a bikini for Halloween on Saturday. Damn you, beer!

That being said, kudos should be given to my scale which tells me I am (somehow) STILL at my target weight for January (albeit, a bit more bloaty). That’s right, I lost ten pounds in as many weeks.

Again, the boyfriend reminds me how easily it can all be put back on… I smell an ass kicking.
