While I was away on our trip I eschewed all 11:00 boutiques (because we were often off sightseeing or otherwise having family time), and that was fine.

I’m lying. It was not fine. I had the shakes by the second day. No fantastic sales? No thrill of the chase?? It was horrible. (Not the trip. Just missing my favorites.)

This morning I sighed happily as I loaded up Fab.com, Rue La La, and One Kings Lane. Much better. And I even finally took the plunge over at Fab—they have a Waring appliances boutique today, and I used some credit to buy myself a food dehydrator, finally.

Yes, I know it’s sad that this is what passes for excitement in my life. Hush.
