Loving Westlaw Today

I have been saving up my Westlaw points ever since my first year, and I finally cashed them in for some goodies! I only have 400 points leftover now and its unlikely that I'll have enough to get anything else--but its so exciting to be able to get some stuff for free!

Let me show you what I got!

I am of the opinion that you can never have too many pans like this one--it's simple, functional and will be filled with lots of casseroles, and macaroni and cheeses, and cinnamon rolls--for all sorts of family holidays and every day occasions.  It's also being shipped home so I don't have to pack it up to move it out in the massive migration I'm dealing with now, so that's another plus.  It was in the eco-friendly section--not sure what that's all about, but I'm a sucker for kitchen stuff and I think this looks like a great thing to have around!

I also love curling my hair with hot rollers.  It's probably a little dorky, but I can't use a curling iron and I love the extra bounce these give me.  The rollers I have now have seen much better days--the lid broke off and the little felt part that keeps you from burning your hands has worn off in a lot of places so curling my hair is a hazardous activity.  But so worth it.

Anyway, I'll have new ones coming to me in 4-6 weeks and I can't wait for the change!  It always makes SUCH a big difference in the style they make. 

This was my big splurge.  I have been wanting a Le Creuset casserole for a loooong time but have been unwilling to pay for it.  This will be something that I use for years and years and years to come--I just have to find a bunch of things to cook in it.  I imagine lots of pot roasts and things like that...  I picked the red one.  I love red things.  Love, love, love.  Man oh man.

I'm so glad I saved my points for my third year so I could really get some mileage out of them.  I didn't really go out of my way to get a ton of points early on but I did do the trivia games and things like that whenever the representative sent them to me.  I also got an extra 1,000 points for paying for my BarBri class, so that's an extra benefit, too.  Well, I would've had to pay for that anyway, so it's nice to at least get something cool out of it. 

I am really looking forward to getting these things in the mail and when I use them I will remember how hard I had to work to get them.  Man oh man, new things are so exciting--especially when they're free!
