Friday Cheers

It’s Friday! Anyone else ready for a post-work cocktail? I’m not usually one for liquor. Give me a glass of white wine &/or a light beer & I’m good. But this week I’ve been wanting liquor. I blame the Bethenny Ever After marathon I saw Sunday & all of @FireFlyVodka’s tweets.

I stopped by our local ABC store Tuesday afterwork. I picked up soco for the husband & wanted Skinny Girl margaritas & Skinny Firefly for me. I was excited to find Skinny Girl on the shelves. I was equally surprised when the employee said they don’t have the skinny firefly nor was he sure when it’d be there. {I tweeted Firefly & they said they’d check on it for me. Gotta love twitter.} It’s in Charlotte so I’m hoping one of the Charlotte girls brings it for our beach trip!

Jason & I both enjoyed a Skinny Girl margarita Tuesday night. I’ve got my mind on another one for tonight!

What are y’all looking forward to celebrating the end of the work week with tonight?

My new home

Welcome! If you’re here, you’ve realized suzstreats.blogspot.com has been upgraded to suzstreats.com! I’m so happy & excited about the change & I hope you are too.

Please bare with me as I *attempt* learn all the ends & outs of WordPress.org. I know Suz’s Treats will go through some trial & error in the process.

I’d love your thoughts of the change! If you use WP, I’m very interested to hear what are your WP favorites as well as what hasn’t worked for you.

What Needs Upgrading

As usual, Melissa over at Adventuroo‘s Capture the Everyday resounded with me. Basic target mop & bucket, meet your upgrade: Shark Professional Steam Mop. {the yellow on the shark is a reflection of our vacuum which lives in the same closet with the mops, old crutches & the spot bot.}

I posted Monday about holding off on the Shark Steam Mop. I only made it two days {and one night of cooking on a sticky kitchen floor} before heading back to Costco Wednesday. The Pro version was very easy to install & I was able to quickly vacuum up our foyer & kitchen & steam away before Jason got home from work. I started on the first “dust” level for the foyer. I upp’d it to “mop” for the kitchen then the hardcore steam setting for the super dirty spots.

I was impressed how easy & effective it was. I love also that unlike when I usually had to *attempt* to corral Moe away from the wet floors, I’m not worried about him walking on them since it’s just water.

2011 Lilly Warehouse Sale

Earlier this week, the flier for the Lilly Pulitzer Warehouse sale arrived in my mailbox. It brought back so many fun memories from last years sale {chance meeting that got us tickets, waiting in line with hundreds of fellow Lilly lovers, running in to grab our favorites, changing in a corner!}. Just realized that it was exactly a year ago today, I announced that I was going!

This year’s sale is again being held at Valley Forge Convention Center & it’s June 9-11th. Oh the dresses, shoes, tops, pants & don’t forget scarves! Sadly, I won’t be able to make it up there. {My expensive trip this year is the BlogHer conference}. But I really would love to make it back to the Warehouse sale another year.

Who’s going? Are you camping out the day before with friends? What are you hoping to purchase?

steam it up?!

Last night on twitter, MrsLLG, Lins610 & Poeia were discussing the amazingness that is the Shark Steam Mop. It all started when Lauren bought one this weekend at Costco. Then Lins chimed in that she’d used hers from everything from the kitchen & bathroom floors to the walls! Sarah asked if it could clean the shower walls with it! I was smitten.

I’d missed the opportunity to get the basic one {photo above} at Walmart for $25 midnight Thanksgiving last year. I’ve been kicking myself ever since. Especially after reading their tweets last night. This evening I went to Costco all set to purchase & make this dream machine my own.

I was shocked to find that the professional model even at Costco was $99 {after researching to find photos-from shark website- I realize this is a good deal}. I was guessing more like $50-$75.

Tonight I passed. I bought wine, rotisserie chicken, bananas & dried mangos instead. I’m going to sit on the idea. See how long I can deal with not-steamed-floors while waiting for the price to drop. Or even better to find a Kohls or Walmart coupon for it. I think I’d be good with the basic.

Does anyone have one already? Is it all that plus more? What’s the craziest thing you’ve cleaned with it? Where have you found either for cheap?!
