I love Super Bowl Sunday. This year, fortunately, no one invited us to watch the game with them, and I wasn't inclined to invite anyone over. That means I was free to shop til I drop. I went to 4 different stores with 4 different parking spots right in front of each store. The stores were, for the most part, empty. I went out around 3:30 so there were other people there (mostly women) but I was able to stroll at leisure and look at whatever I wanted without other people blocking my way. I made one impulse buy. This very, very soft pastel-green throw for the couch made of teddy-bear-like fur on one-side and soft, soft velvet on the other. I threw it right on top of my husband who was, of course, lying on the sofa when I came home. Actually, since I was able browse said 4 stores, I made a wise purchase indeed. I almost bought this cashmere throw for twice as much money (even though it was half-price). It was bright red, with fur-ball tassels. Not exactly the look I was going for in the great room, but the bedroom? What I was shopping for is a headboard. I'm buying new roman shades for the bedroom, and now that I think of it, that cashmere throw might just look good in the bedroom. I think I have now made up my mind to go with the red, white and blue colors in there after all. If when we go back there on Wed night to look at the lamp I wasn't sure about AND we buy the headboard AND that throw is still there, I will have to buy it. See how inspired I get on Super Bowl Sunday? Another reason I love Super Bowl Sunday -- NO MORE FOOTBALL TIL NEXT YEAR.
