I’ve lost 60 pounds since having my son 6 months ago (yay me!) and was sorely in need of new clothes. Although I am now under my pre-pregnancy weight, my pre-pregnancy clothes still fit weird. What’s up with that?
Anyway, my mother-in-law was in town this weekend and she has really good taste so I agreed to be dragged along clothes shopping. I don’t love shopping for clothes for myself, especially at the mall, so I didn’t have really high hopes. I normally walk right by the Ann Taylor because I think of the clothes there as being too "dry-clean-only" and I have no business owning anything dry-clean-only, even for work. Well! I found 4 new skirts, 1 new pair of pants, and 4 new tops in comfortable, washable materials, most of which at big savings, And when I got up to the counter, I discovered that the store is actually not an Ann Taylor, but an Ann Taylor Loft which is, apparently, a more casual (and cheaper!) version of Ann Taylor. I just checked their website and they are apparently having a ginormous summer sale right now too: http://www.anntaylorloft.com/atlShowSaleCategory.process?RestartFlow=t&Section_Id=10
The sales staff was attentive without being pushy and they have a great range of sizes, fabrics, and styles. I am 28 and a size 10 and my big shopping dilemmas tend to be 1) the clothes I think are cute are not flattering to my body and 2) I don’t want to dress “old” but I don’t want to dress like a teenybopper. Both problems solved at Ann Taylor Loft. Yay!

I went to Bachmeier Interiors and I found that they have excellent service and outstanding customer service! I am pleased to say that I am extremely pleased with the carpet and tile that I had installed. I will be going back this spring to get window treatments done and I can hardly wait.

Excellent selection of books. The coffee area isn't very large or private, but the coffee is good.
Nice area for children that is blocked off from the rest of the area and cheery.
If you don't see a selection, an employee is more than happy to order it. You don't have to purchase the book when it comes in if you are satisfied with it.

Now I usually refrain from using words like "geek", "nerd", "brain-i-ac" (that one is my son's favorite) and such but when I talk about BEST BUY and the best parts of this store I HAVE to mention the "geek squad"....they are great! Not only have they helped me to figure out my new phone but they have advised me on MP3 players, PDA's and computer "innards" (OK, I don't know the real word for it but they helped! LOL) So when I tell you that this is one of the best stores around with good customer service and friendly employees I'm not kidding...they are!
The next time you pass through on I-80 (it goes right past the mall and you might as well stop!) check out the BEST BUY...I promise you won't be sorry...and bring that phone you just bought with you...they can figure out how to change your ringtones too...always a positive when you have a teenager like me who likes to torment Mom by changing settings she can't figure out herself! Happy shopping!

I visited BIRD's EYE View awhile ago and quite honestly, though I was happy with the service I received there, I do not think I will return simply because it did not meet my needs at the time.
That said, I should mention this is an interesting store...it caters to the needs of wild birds and all that entails. It is primarily a "nature store" that sells interesting yet functional bird houses, feeders, assorted bird seed....as well as all the misc. hardware for keeping your "backyard bird friends" happy . Don't get me wrong, I love wild birds as much as the next guy, especially the blue jay we have in our backyard that "scolds" when he thinks you are invading his space, but I have to admit I was taken a back with some of the prices in this store.
Located on 2nd Street, it is both easy to find and easy to navigate as well. Check it out if you are in the market for for your feathered backyard friends. I am sure you can find it here...just be warned....it is a bit pricey.

The gentleman that works there is very friendly and will tell you what you want to know. Do not be hung up on name brands like Orek if you want a light weight vacuum. Their biggest seller is a powerful, light weight vac by Riccar ($279 and $379). Very nice. He will service the vac for free for the life of the warranty right there in the store! He carrier vacuums ranging in price from $129 to $1200. Occasionally you will find a used model.
He services sewing machines here, but doesn’t sell them unfortunately.
