Lani's Favorite Things
Lani, feeling a little like Oprah...
I've been sick. Not sick sick, just cold sick. Headache sick. Don't-wanna-vacuum sick.
Oh, wait. That last part's pretty normal.
Anyway, I thought I would have some fun today and cheer up by doing some internet shopping for my favorite things. I wish I had Oprah's money and could hire a bunch of people to dress like elves and deliver these things all beribboned and whatnot directly to where you're sitting but... well. I think you knew when you clicked that these were the cheap seats.
Dunkin Donuts coffee. Every morning. Must have it. Best coffee on the planet. Seriously. And they're Oxfam Friendly. Yum-yum-yummy and socially conscious. Kinda like having a man who is good in bed and will actually make it. :::sigh:::
Victoria's Secret Bubble Bath. I don't know why, but I love the VS scents. While the lotions can get a little cloying, the VS bubble bath products are simply luscious. When I can afford $9 for a couple ounces of the stuff, I indulge.
TiVo. Okay. So technically, I don't exactly have TiVo. I have the dimestore knockoff version of TiVo that my cable company offers. Doesn't matter. It's the idea of TiVo that gets me, and I have nothing but Big-Sloppy-Kiss Love for the people who said, "I'd really rather watch Conan at 9 in the morning" and then found a way to make it happen.
Swatches. I didn't even know they made Swatches anymore until I saw the store in Times Square. And I got a Swatch there. And I still wear it. Why? 'Cause it's purty, that's why. And they have collections with names like Irony and Flik Flak. My next Swatch? I'm deciding between this one and this one.
Hello Kitty. All these years, I never got Hello Kitty. Now, I think it's the cutest thing. So pretty much anything Hello Kitty, I adore. But I specifically want this, and I really don't know why.
Well, it's not quite as lush as Oprah - okay, fine, not in the same universe as Oprah - but it was fun to share. Got some favorite things of your own? Comment below...

Oh I love O magazine soooo much. And I especially love it when she says 'I thought these slippers were so great I bought 400 pairs for my staff'. Oh, to work for Oprah.
Do you know you can get a Hello Kitty .. erm .. personal massager (if you know what I mean)?
I love Hello Kitty too (although not THAT much) even though I feel like a sap. I've just ordered some Hello Kitty earrings from Avon. And I'm 33.

I am a SWATCH FIEND! I own about 150 and have been collecting since 1983 when the first collection came out! It's like art for your wrist!
Lani - you should def go with SWEET SARONG - if you have never had a Swatch Skin you will just love it - they are wafer thin (said in the best Monty Python accent...) and are very chic!
Enjoy!

No, no, no Lani. Tim Hortons. BEST COFFEE EVER. I need to send you some... though it's best when they brew it themselves because it's about 700 degrees and tastes better.... but there's nothing like an extra large double-double from Timmies.

Okay, my DD15 would just die if she knew I was saying "That Hello Kitty contact case is just about the coolest case I've ever seen!" I need to get one!

I vote for the pink Swatch, even though I'm not a pink kinda girl. :)
