A great 50% off addition

You know those mini baby blankets your baby loves? Yeah well now we have some for 50% off! AND you can make your own set!
You can do a 3-6 piece set and choose the animals you like. We have the Pink and Blue Lambs, a Bear, Giraffe, Frog and Duck.

They are super soft, super cute and we have had customers EXPRESS them because their babies love 'em so much!

The have bunched up corners for baby to chew for comfort. The animal heads make the blankets more interesting and easy to warm up to and the super soft material is addictive. Soft to the touch and makes a wonderful security blanket.
These mini baby blankets are great as gifts. I'm just waiting for a super special gift wrap request... I'm thinking I MIGHT be able to work out a merry go round type gift wrap. Been thinking about it for a while but I think there would be some kinks to work out :)
We shall see... HEY! Request the merry go round gift wrap! It's not something we offer (gift wrap takes a long time and this one would take a LONG time) but I'll pull some strings to have it done for the first person that asks for it on a 5/6 piece set :)
If anyone actually does request it, I'll take pics and post. Should come out amazing!

What's your idea of an awesome vacation?

So there's the poll to the right... VOTE!
My fave is a CRUISE BABY!
My first was a Carnival cruise and when they say fun ship, they mean it!
It was beautiful and amazing and exciting and so much fun!
And of course what happens on the ship stays on the ship cause lord knows our drunk moments should not be mentioned hee hee.
That cruise gave alcohol a new meaning!
We stopped at San Juan, Saint Thomas and Saint Marten..... I probably didn't spell that correctly :(

The islands were beautiful!
We stopped at the Senior Frog's in San Juan and lemme tell yah people, THE BEST BAR IN THE WORLD!
Daytime is ok at the bar but at night, it's AMAZING!
It's a touristy bar so you KNOW "fun" happens there. The drinks are outstanding not to mention the free shots! They had people standing on the stage or on chairs pouring shots into our mouths as we danced. I know many of you have heard of this place but you HAVE to go to understand just how much fun it is!

In St. Thomas.... this is IF I'm remembering the island correctly there's a lift that takes you to the top of a mountain. You can see the island from up there and it's an absolutely breathtaking view.
The ship itself is great. When you're stuck on a ship for a while, you be come friends with EVERYONE!
We were 2 people and being the social person I am... we ended up being a group of over 50 people! It was great! The night club on board had an amazing DJ and YES you were able to put in special requests so I somehow actually got half the club to dance Cotton Eye Joe... Hey! I had to! I promised the DJ if he would put that song on, it would be danced to!
And the spa was fantastic. If you book on the first day FOR the first day, you get a discount.... not to mention the masseur was unbelievable. The hair salon was not so great unfortunately. They don't really know what they're doing but I guess for the week long guests it's enough to survive.
The pools were awesome. There were a few and also hot tubs. Only thing that bummed me out was that they close after a certain hour whereas the Royal Caribbean cruises I've been on keep their pools and hot tubs open all the time. And they had a water slide too! It's pretty nice seeing the whole ship in the middle of nowhere before you go down the hatch
They also had a piano bar where we had an absolute blast. The piano was on a rotating stage and we were all able to sit around the player. He had a mini basketball hoop on the piano and we could request a song for a dollar. Technically we found out later that he wasn't supposed to do special requests for money but business is business I guess.
We all sang along, drank and were definitely merry!
They had karaoke, name that tune, how to make towel animals, pictionary, color war, pool side parties and games, shows, competitions, scavenger hunts, survivor, classes, bars, coffee shops, restaurants and so much more!
You can find anything and everything you need on these ships including fun people that know how to have a blast just like you.

Now I don't remember which island this was on (shocking!) but we snorkeled....
Now snorkeling is pretty interesting. We signed up for this specific one because we were going to see ship wrecks under water and then get to feed the fish... not to mention free rum!
So yeah it was great but my god.... I won't do it again.
For 45 minutes we were swimming around these ship wrecks and I just wanted to feed the damn fish.... so we finally got the mushy cubes of food.... it was nice.... I put my head under water and pushed a cube away and was SUPER excited to see an array of fish attack the food. They were beautiful. Different sizes and colors you could only imagine. So I threw another cube in their direction and got excited again.... same with the third cube and then I said "screw it" and pushed the whole chunk of cube at them to see them go crazy.... WOOHOOO!!!!!!! then I left :)
Call it A.D.D. if you like but by that time I was heaving and attempting to stay above water.

All in all this cruise was one of my best experiences! I would much rather spend time on the ocean, tanning and meeting people, playing games and dressing up for dinner, dancing away the night with questionable sobriety and eating anything in sight!
Oh and the room service is FREE BABY and 24 HOURS!

I can see why people like traveling the world to see sights and stuff but I can't imagine anything more memorable, fun and exciting as a cruise!
So yeah.... my vote was for the cruise.
What's YOUR vote?

Engaged


Thank you all for the congrats and well wishes!
Yeah... we're engaged!
So everyone has been asking about our story... you don't know much because it's only been a short time so I'm killing as many birds with one stone and here is our story...

Most of you remember Mike. Well obviously that's over. We had a great run and I truly believe he blessed me. We always joked about how every girl he dates finds the man she's meant to be with after him :)
If you read this Mike, thank you... and I wish only happiness for you!

So we broke up and I was back to square one. Online dating of course... on Jdate thank you very much. Now Jdate is a very special website. Supposed to be exclusively for Jewish singles but we have some Goyim there too. I had been on and off it for a while and met my share of nuts too! Figured maybe pass the time with it... hey you never know!
David sent me a message one day... didn't bother reading his profile (I've read so many and for the most part, they're repetitive). But I saw his pictures and he was soooo cute!
This was on a Friday, June 27th. We chatted most of the day and finally had a 5 minute conversation over the phone. He had guests that evening so I told him if he wanted to go out later, to call me.
11 at night, JUST as I had finished cooking dinner I received a text message from him "I know you're still up, wanna go out?"
Cocky huh?
I don't know how the stars were lined up that night but I wasn't up for going out and nonetheless I got my fat butt up and met him.
My first impression was "hmmmm not sure about the outfit but I can work with it"
So we sat there and waited for the train... small talked and met an odd man that we tried to help. He claimed he was on his way to the hospital and wasn't feeling well. Pulled out pills to show he was on medication. After attempting to convince him that he will pay for his cab to the hospital, David decided to give up and the small talk continued.
I THINK that old man was an angel in disguize sent to show me that David has such a good heart.
'El Greco was our diner of choice (for lack of anything better) and once again my theory was strengthened about their terrible food.
Mind you we only had an appetizer but my god it was HORRIBLE! The alcohol on the other hand was GREAT!
So we had some shots and I learned about my future husband.
At some point I was so intrigued, my head rested on my hand and I listened to every word (although I WAS a little tipsy by then)... I think this was the turning point where I fell in love... sounds stupid and unreal but who's got the engagement ring 3 months later?! he he he

Left the diner and headed towards a local bar. Now David isn't too tall so Mr. Cocky is also picky about high heels. I found myself walking barefoot in the streets of Brooklyn with a stranger holding my shoes and his own. His socks were in his pockets, both pairs of shoes in one hand and in the other he held my hand.
At the bar we ordered a few more shots... I was drunk but I remember him looking at me and saying "I hope you don't get mad when I do this"
Then he kissed me and I fell for him!

By the time we got back to the train station I was GONE! So so drunk!
He had to run down to the grocery store to buy me some water! No food and man shots.... not a good combination.
He walked me home, I opened the door and hugged the toilet for the next half hour.
I was sure I wouldn't hear from him again but when I woke up the next morning... with NO hangover thanks to my little trick... I found he had sent me a message to see how I was doing.
That day we met again and so began our relationship!

I had never met a man so devoted to a woman's happiness (aside from both of my amazing brothers). Ever since, he has done so much to make me happy and smile. I've received more flowers from David than I have from all of the men I've ever dated put together!
I wish for every woman to find the man of her dreams and hope more men like David exist out there... we might be less bitchy to eachother if more women were happy :)

So for a while now we've been saying that we want to take the Circle Line cruise around the city. On September 30th, second day of Rosh Hashanna he took me! Didn't tell me where we were going or anything!
It was beautiful even though I was sleepy (I started getting sick the night before).
In the back you're able to smoke so.... that's where we were!
At one point he kept trying to convince me to go to the front and the stubborn ass that I am, I didn't wanna go and just wanted to chill in the back... HEY! I wasn't feeling well grrrrr
Finally he convinced me!
So towards the end of the cruise, there I am in front sitting on the thing that you tie the rope around it while hugging his legs.
He began to tell me about how the day before he spoke to my mom... this is where he pulled away from me and I drew a complete blank!
As he stepped back, he opened his bag to pull out the ring, got down on bended knee and proposed.
You know, I always imagined there would be a proposal speech...
You're the most wonderful woman I have ever met, I can't imagine my life without you, I love you more then life itself yada yada yada
He DID say some things but ask me what he said!
I HAVE NO IDEA!
When I say I drew a blank, all went kaput!
I just saw the love of my life on bended knee holding out a ring...
Right there in front of everyone!
We hugged and kissed and now yeah! WE'RE ENGAGED!
