I Bet She Has Sexy Hands

These blow my mind. If I look too long, I start to develop a slight tick.

Twenty-One Days And Counting

Inspiration To Cook More Often

Here are some photos of the updated dining room. Sorry about the water spots. Cleaning my camera tonight.

Two Great Movies From The Past

I just saw this movie again and I can't get over this song. I have no idea who Satchel is or if he is even talented but the song is a perfect fit for the movie. If you haven't seen this movie, I'm sorry. If you have, I highly recommend watching it again. This is one of my all time favorite movies.

I remember how much I loved this song when I first saw the movie. Plus Leo and Claire are so super cute! Baz Luhrmann can sure make great movies. Also highly recommended.

Wisconsin vs. South Dakota - No Regrets

Even Wisconsin's State Pillows are cooler.

When The Dog Bites

I recently discovered Design Public. Here are a few things that are on my wish list. They offer some amazing items for the home.

Thanks Kottke for this post:

I think it's perfectly OK for John McCain and Barack Obama to say that the US is wasting the lives of the American troops that have been killed in Iraq. In the ignoble pursuit of politics, people are penalized for telling the truth, or at least for telling their honest opinions. Words are twisted by the media and opponents to take on other meanings. In this case, we're supposed to be outraged for McCain and Obama suggesting that those who have chosen to serve in the armed forces are wasting their lives. Does anyone honestly believe that either of these two guys really meant to say that?

These Things Are Everywhere

From decor8:
I can't believe how huge wall decals are right now. Each week I'm coming across more companies that specialize in these vinyl works of art, and I'm constantly amazed by how some really look like actual hand-painted wall murals. I found Apple Pie Design for the first time last night, and had to share.

By the way, our bedroom is FINALLY DONE! I will post pictures soon - you won't believe how beautiful my new artwork looks.

I'm Guessing My Days Are Numbered

How long do you think it will be before Alex no longer asks me to look at this website with him? He especially like to go to the puppies tab. I am a big fan of the cute or sad tab.

Bugaboo This

When we were in Chicago last weekend I saw about 50 couples pushing their child around in one of these Bugaboo strollers. They are cute and I love all the color choices but these strollers cost almost $900. Not only that, these people were shopping on Michigan avenue. Not shopping like we were shopping, they had bags with merchandise in them.

What A Relief

I have been looking forward to seeing Jake in his new movie Zodiac. Not because I thought it would be a great movie or even a good movie, but because it's Jake. I am excited to report that I actually get to see Jake and watch a good movie at the same time. Rotten Tomatoes is giving Zodiac an 86% fresh rating. I tend get a little nervous after seeing The Day After Tomorrow.

Already Making Plans

My brother e-mailed me this picture of himself on a recent ski trip he took with some friends near his home in Colorado Springs. Along with the picture came an invitation to book a flight and join them on one of their weekly outings.

Too Bad They Never Had A Show

They Aren't Kidding

We are in the WINDY CITY this weekend. May be stuck here until Monday. Not a bad place to be stuck due to weather. I could handle watching the Academy Awards in a beautiful hotel room. More stories and pictures to come. Stay safe, warm and dry.

Off to the Hustle.

GAME OVER

København

Lille Hus was recently in Copenhagen, Denmark and posted a variety of pictures from her trip. The cool thing is that I recognize some of the shops she took photos of from when I was there 17 years ago. The unfortunate thing is that I was only 16 at the time and a total bitch about having to be there. It was a trip I took with my dad when he lived there and there was nothing about Copenhagen that I appreciated at the time. Seeing the pictures makes me want to go back. I love how adorable and quaint some of the photos make it seem. Plus, Danes are the happiest!

The Shirt Is Even For Sale

For those who want to match their rugs to their drapes. Awe-some. Now there's Betty Beauty "For The Hair Down There". I highly recommend the testimonials, they are hi-larious.
