Thawing Out

The temperature rose above 32 this weekend, so I got out and about a bit. Here are some of my finds for the weekend:

1. The German Specialties Store on Sheridan. I tried a bit of blood and tongue meat and picked up an aluminum tube of mustard and a pound of german sausage links. After the holiday season, I'm going back and having the lady there make me a sandwich.

2. The Walgreens Cosmetics Counter. I got to try out that Zeno device on a pulsing boil on my cheek. It worked so well, my cheek was smooth and the only evidence of an issue was a pink dot on my cheek. Also check out the eyeliners by Jordana. I picked up 2 kajal kohl liners for $3 and they're better than any liner I've ever obtained from a department store.

3. Borders. Books are 20% off for Christmas. I made a mental note to request some David Sedaris books. Amy Sedaris has a delightful book on entertaining that's worth checking out as well.

4. Central Illinois Ceramics in Creve Couer. Granted, I'm pimping out the place I go to work on projects, but they've just put out some really cute stuff for both painting and purchase. May I recommend the cute little snowballs?
