After searching near far and wide for a mattress set I decided to check out Sears Outlet. They carry everything from everyday appliances (washers, refrigerators, stoves etc...) to treadmills as well as clothing. Prices are tremendously discounted. And although delivery ran $65 and took a few days they were here setting up my mattress in the allotted delivery time of 2 hours. All in all I got a great deal on a Serta set and I'm very happy with my purchase!

So I'm usually not one to let "strangers" know all of my business, how I'm feeling and why. I think I'm a pretty closed book to some aspects of my life. But after a session with J. McFarland I was a blubbering mess ( although I left even stronger and more empowered) I had never seen a counselor, therapist -whatever you want to call it ever before in my life. And was a bit tickled to see it was pretty much just like you see on TV. Go in sit in the chair, as I talk to someone scribbling notes every so often. Made me think of that Seinfeld episode. I really liked my counselor, she got me back on the right path after a very difficult time in my life.
So for my 400th review I would like to thank her, as well as my wonderful (yelp) friends. You all lent shoulders to cry on, couches to crash on, and arms to move some heavy furniture! I'm anxiously looking forward to a new and fresh start to my life. Thank you!

The easiest setup ever, pretty much plug in and go. The representative I talked to was awesome. I chose the "home" option after learning you can still move the modem around outside the home without paying for the mobile option as well...good call! I went with the basic plan, and it's still pretty good ( I get all 5 signal bars in my place with the modem positioned near a window) I'm only paying $25 a month plus the $5 modem rental fee, what a deal!

How can you not be a fan of chocolate!! Chocolate in any form..ice cream, hot chocolate, and candies. All delicious. The waffle cones are handmade crisp and delicious. The staff was more than nice allowing tastes of ice cream and their hot chocolate.

Ok, so this is my 3rd time to Cosmo Lava, and each time I have enjoyed myself. The different rooms and levels give you opportunity to escape crazy men, if need be. The bartenders are quick, efficient, and pour a strong drink. The eye candy and crowd was definitely better on a Friday night in my opinion. They have large areas for dancing as well as patio areas if you need to step out and have a conversation away from the crowd. The cover was originally $10 a piece ,but we ended up paying that for both of us. Parking around there is a bit tricky, there is one parking attendant that advertises a $4 rate.. but beware that price is only for an hour..so park in the $7 lot next to it!

Sutra Lounge

So I'm not crazy about Sutra, by the time you walk in pay cover for 2 people, and buy 2 drinks you have already been set back $40. That means $10 for a *weak*  vodka  and tonic, compared to paying that much for a handcrafted cocktail with top shelf ingredients ( Come to think about it I don't think top Flr's are that much).  I had saw online that you could get in for free by a certain time, but at the door there was a bit of a problem when the door woman confronted me, questioning where I'd seen that ad. And when I informed her she hastily yelled back to someone else to make sure that's taken down ASAP. And basically she would do us a favor by allowing us to bypass the cover charge for that night. That kind of turned me off right there. The space it's self is nice, and the crowd is a young diverse bunch. I'd be willing to give it another chance at a later date-if I didn't have to pay cover.

 Update - 1/22/2010  
Ok, went in there today to look for some jeans since they have the new faith 21 "extended sizes"... yay...finally don't have to wish I was a size 2!!! The jeans fit like a glove!!! and were only $18 to bat!!! Extended sizes start at a 12 and go up to an 18 ( I believe)  Down side they only had 2 styles to choose from, hope they get more in ASAP!

    Yes I'm several years past my prime  of 21, but I found myself in this store while shopping for a Christmas gift for my younger sister. They have a great accessory section with loads of shiny things as well as shoes, clutches, and hair accessories. This is the largest forever 21 I've been in though, there are two floors and they are chocked full with tons of sequins, silk, leopard print, and various multicolored leggings. Great place to grab some going out gear for a night out on the town.

Aurum Lounge

Okay So 2.5 here, Aurum reminds me of a really gorgeous girl with no real substance on the inside. I mean she sure is pretty to look at but once you get past that, there is nada! I usually like a place I can bust a move, and not just stand or sit around while I sip on a cocktail .( which by the way were super tasty!) This is pretty much a see and be seen kind of place.  Loved the oversized decor, and the strong cocktials just not my type of lounge.

I wasn't really to impressed by their BBQ, which was pulled from a large heating box behind the counter, and not off the grill. I honestly don't even remember the smoker going while we were there. It's a hike up to Kennesaw and probably wouldn't bother driving all the way up there again. I honestly don't remember much of what I ate because nothing really blew me away. There are tons of other above average options out there.
