...then on Day 5, there was no lunch to pack ( I know lame excuse).
I will do better next week.
You know, I have to shake my head when I saw how much my bonus was. Because something is better than nothing I know but they taxed almost 50% on my bonus leaving me with almost half of what was given to me. Anyway, I will use to it to purchase this for my mom :
Description: (Copy and pasted from Neiman Marcus)
Cologne Collection:
Each of the six harmonious 9 milliliter scents in the Cologne Collection can be mixed and matched to suit your mood or reflect the sensibility of the season.
The Cologne Collection is a delightful gift for men and women and is packaged in a Jo Malone signature gift box.
Includes:
Sweet Lime & Cedar, Grapefruit, Lime Basil & Mandarin, Nectarine Blossom & Honey, Pomegranate Noir and White Jasmine & Mint. 6 X .3 ounces / 9 milliliters.
Thanks to my Tita A, she introduced me to the wonderful scent of Nectarine Blossom and Honey. It's a very fresh scent of floral notes. This was what I was going to buy my mom but changed my mind and bought her this set instead , because I want to check out the other scents in the collection especially the Jasmine and Mint one.
Another Want but Don't Need on my list is :
Simply Soap by Clean
I like the crisp and fresh scent it leaves on my skin. The smell of Bergamot and floral notes of roses lingers on my skin. I've always been a fan of scents with bergamot in it anyway :) .
But I am wander lusting again and so I am torn between Simply Soap , a Digital SLR Camera or a trip to Greece in October. You know at this time, I really am wander lusting after the cobalt blue waters of the Mediterranean and the white washed stone structures of Mykonos and Santorni. I also want to see the grand but crumbling Acropolis of Athens. I almost booked a trip this morning to Greece, but decided to wait until next pay day.

A girl I knew from childhood have recently showcased her most recent Trip to Egypt. I marvel at the beautiful sand-weathered columns and temples of Hatshepsut and Luxor and I want to thank her for sparking the wanderlust in me again. I've always had it but I just get caught up with the drama of a stagnant work-home life you know.
If God woud allow me to live until next year..:D, then I have been eye-ing this trip to Tanzania by Good Earth Tours. Check out their itinerary:
