On a different note, the rest of my week has been spent searching for reasonably priced airfare to the Canary Islands, a task that I thought would be simple but has turned out to be nearly impossible. As a graduation present for Jessica, my mother rented us a condo for the week of March 12-18. I chose the Canary Islands since Jessica and I have never been but have always wanted to visit. Flights into Europe are a dime a dozen but flights from Europe to the Canaries are few and far between. As time ticks on, the prices are going up, but with limited vacation hours, Jessica and I are unable to find round trip tickets for less than $2000!
.....Must Have.....
We all have been in line at the grocery store and have reached for a magazine to pass the time. Many, like myself, flip directly to a specific section to browse our favorite column. In Style readers scan the "Deals & Steals" page, Cooking Light followers peruse "The Hungry Traveler" column. But my all-time favorite go-to read is Real Simple's "New Uses for Old Things" which offers easy and creative ways to get maximum use out of everyday items that can be found around the house. In celebration of their 10th anniversary, the writers of Real Simple released 869 of their favorite new uses for old things. Some of my favorite ideas are:
An old picture frame as a vanity tray |
Life Savers as colorful candle holders |
A jumprope as a playful ribbon |
