Room 1142: Fit & Fresh



$50 Bed, Bath & Beyond gift card, people. Rumor had it that it was an Amazon card I was to receive but intel was off the mark. Hell. I don't care. I need towels and sheets. But did I end up with towels and sheets? No. I had to dream bigger. Blender! Yep. The fantasy started to come into focus: Me, delightfully dropping fresh fruit into my new blender, pressing a button and pouring into my glass a slammin' homemade smoothie. Won't those Skinny Bitch gals be proud? But do I spend the entire $50 on a blender? I have to admit I am taken with those glass ones. They just seem more sophisticated. Like I am serious about blending. No, I leave with a $20 blender. Hamilton Beach 10 Speed "Wave Action" for less ice chunks. Why the step down to a plastic blender? I had a wee bit of an ant problem so I wanted glass containers (I was going to get a "glass" something!) for my cereal and crackers. Also, I wanted a pitcher for iced tea (glass!). But most importantly, I saw this adorable all-inclusive salad container: The Salad Shaker from Fit & Fresh ("Fresh Ideas for Healthy Eating"). The "fresh ideas" include a place for a baby-sized knife and fork (bordering on spork), a tiny compartment for salad dressing and an ice pack- all in the lid! Tupperware for the anal retentive. ( I also went for the Lunch on the Go from Fit & Fresh. The lid can be used as a plate!) Holy crap. I love things that fit into other things and snap together...I love compartments. So when I saw those pseudo-bento boxes that gift card wept because it knew it was a goner. And I showed it no mercy.

Amenities of Room 1142: Dresser drawers within drawers with a side door. No new sheets or towels.
