Hi Friends...I apologize for my unexpected absence today. Hubby invited me to join him on a biz trip in AZ and when I saw the 5 star digs they were putting him up in, I couldn't resist (despite the fact it's currently 106 degrees outside). I had planned to post before leaving, alas, my last minute packing got the best of me. Internet access is dicey, but I will try to catch up with you all and a new post on Thursday. Thanks for your understanding...cheers!
P.S. Any AZ readers out there with any tips or places to go in the Scottsdale/Phoenix area???

Oh, I love Scottsdale/Phoenix. I used to host a customer event at the Arizona Biltmore every May for 9 years and I miss it dearly.
Anonymous has made quite the itinerary for you, you may need a nap afterward. Then I recommend a hearty breakfast or lunch at Food Bar in the Southbridge area, on East Stetson Drive (near the big mall - Fashion Square, more info here: http://www.foodbaraz.com/Location.aspx).
Then go next door to The Grand Tour, one of the most amazing shops I've ever been in. Beautiful things from all over the world, high end, but really lovely. I did some great holiday shopping there when I was there in December. More info here: http://thegrandtourhome.com/
SO fun! I hope you have a wonderful time Suzanne!
See you when you get back!

Regardless of what you do, you will have a BLAST! I'm so glad you were able to go!
Whoot, whoot!
If you want to do some shopping, take a trip to Fashion Square in Scottsdale. They have EVERYTHING. It's a pretty high end mall though. I rarely go. I can't afford it (lol). The Biltmore also has a veyr nice mall. It's lovely! There is so much beautiful stuff to see here. I've been livig here a year, and still am overwhelmed by it all.
I mean "very."
Hate typos.
