finally, a wine that understands us...

That's right, Recession Wines. I am not sure that anything can beat out three-buck-chuck for price, but these wine's have stolen my heart, just by their title! I found them on Jo's blog, and I think they will help us become fabulous "recessionistas" (new term, think I might love it...or it could be terribly dorky....thoughts?).

brrrr

a better snapshot of the new 'do. what do you think?

morocco, i want to go to morocco. it doesn't quite fit into our plan but ever since my peace corps attempt i can't shake the desire to go there . . .

other complete randomness . . .

i love the fact that my family fully embraces halloween despite the fact that a few years ago it was shunned as a holiday--mainly i like that they are making their own choices and not just doing what their church peeps tell them.

venus zine totally stole my halloween costume!! they gave four suggestions for low budget h-ween costumes and edie sedgwick wsa one of them!! guess i will jsut have to be marianne faithful this year!!

barack is 47 years old. need i say more?

yeah, that's all i've got for today. this post was pretty much as random as i was on the phone yesterday--perhaps i have been talking to too many 3 year olds!

dreaming of europe

I have been longing to go back for days now...




these pics from serge guerand's website. pour yourself a cup of coffee and settle down to daydream...

i think i think it's genius . . . what do you think? in case you can't tell the chair has been reupholstered as though it's just the frame, sort of x-ray style . . .
