Accomplish-a-lot Weekend
Mike’s away with the guys on their annual ski weekend in Maine. I am super lame and miss him already. I DID manage not to cry this morning after breakfast when he left… and since I’m totally PMS-ing that is a huge accomplishment. And of course we’d just had one of those nights where you are totally in sync and feel so lucky to have found someone who really gets it/you.
So...

Chic et Fabuleux: Ok, the Boy/Wedding Dilemma... →
chic-et-fabuleux:
Thankfully, this is not an issue of anything bad having happened, just a question of…how do I handle this. I am the insecure, overanalyzing type who has been doing a very good job of keeping this to myself in my current relationship, and not letting it needlessly poison things. I realize I have…
Honestly, I think you need to ask him/say something before it’s too...

My amazing boyfriend got me a Roku and a Netflix subscription for my birthday. This means I will most likely never be productive again… off to watch Season 1 of 30 Rock.
My Birthday Weekend Begins!
Today I got my hair cut. It was probably the longest it’s ever been. I was reaching Sister Wives level, so I finally booked an appointment and now I have collarbone-length hair. Honestly, I feel lighter. Also, you haven’t seen joy until you’ve told your hairstylist they can cut 6 inches off your hair.
Tonight Mike & I are going to Fleming’s…. that means lots of...

LOLThursday: Are Eye Patches the New Trend? →
We’re all for accessorizing, but we happen to think patches should be reserved for those with a medical need, pirate costumes, and actors preparing for a role (like Michelle Rodríguez in Machete or Jeff Bridges in True Grit).
If you don’t fall into any of those categories, we suggest you stick with vanity glasses. They’re a good way to change up your style, look good on...
People Who
haygirlhay:
Don’t know how to treat nice things.
No you may not borrow anything of mine ever; I’d like to see it again, and in working condition at that.You do not crack the spine of someone else’s book. YOU JUST DON’T DO IT.
And maybe you’ve given up on your own ragged furniture, but in this house? We use coasters. We don’t put our outside shoes on the couch. Or the coffee table. You’re a...
So the past few days have been tough for me. My bff and partner in unemployment found a job. So while I am happy for her, it made me totally panic about my own employment situation (or lack thereof.) She actually had TWO job offers. I found this out after coming back from a two hour dentist appointment and a loong walk home with snow filling one of my boots. Basically I totally freaked out and...
The devil's in the details
gasp-shock:
The little objects that make up daily lives…
The extra effort in the everyday…
That make us sparkle…
Or serve to soothe…
Here’s to creating more beautiful, more thoughtful, more evocative stories in my own life.
Gorgeous. And right now I need cleaning/organization inspiration.
Wait, can we seriously make a list...
carolinek:
Joy mentioned this this morning on Twitter, but seriously… can US Magazine make a list of those who are not pregnant right now?
Those in the “with child” category so far:
Kate Hudson
Victoria Beckham
Natalie Portman
Jennifer Connelly
Rachel Zoe
Marion Cotillard
Mariah Carey
Jewel
Pink
Jane Krakowski
Drea de Mateo
Baby Spice
Crazytown…
Yeah, this is getting crazy.
Things I am so excited about...
carolinek:
Khloe and Lamar’s reality show. Seriously, I can not wait. Those two make me laugh. And happy.
I will be watching. However, when Khloe talks to Lamar in her baby voice, I feel stabby.
tippyinnyc:
fave. why? because he’s blaisin’.
the WORST. no explanation required.
[came to top chef all stars + doesn’t want to actually cook.]
Seriously I hate Jamie. All she does is comment on how good she is, but then can’t make anything.

After reading Jackie Warner's book, I'm now eating... →
However I accidentally bought steel-cut oats at Trader Joe’s, not realizing how much time they take. Luckily I found this link that explains how to make them a little faster.
The previous night you boil six cups of water, stir in the oatmeal, let boil for 1-minute, turn off the heat and cover. The next morning, you turn the heat back on and let it boil for 10 minutes. In our ...

Does anyone else think it's odd...
… that after being in Black Swan together, both Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis are starring in different, but strikingly similar movies about hookup buddies (No Strings Attached v. Friends with Benefits)??
