I wound up buying a bunch of little goodies for cooking. I did get a food scale, but just an ordinary manual (or whatever they're called) scale, some new whisks, a new cookie sheet, vegetable peeler, wood cutting board, wire colander, mixing bowls, and measuring cup. Woo. Lots of little goodies :)
I also got a big bottle of cucumber-scented bubble bath. Yum :) And a loofah on a stick.
Now all I need is the time to get away from the kids (and DH) for a good hour or so and have a nice hot bath and a good book :)
