Coveting

I've been doing way too much online browsing lately. So that browsing doesn't turn to spending, I will now blog about my finds.


Mostly, I want this bento box. But I'm having a hard time justifying the purchase (for Paige's lunches when she's in preschool in 2 years? for my school dinners which I never actually pack, instead eating "dinner" out of a vending machine?)

These linen fabrics from Cicada Studio. So, so pretty.

Who's Hiding by Saturo Onishi. My kids love interactive books, and by "interactive" I don't mean electronic and annoying. Plus Japanese imports are the new black.

These apple shoes for Paige from Livie and Luca. Can't you just picture these on her big, fat feet?

A vintage swimsuit. This one or any number of others. But I wouldn't act so dramatic about it.

Excuses, excuses

I know, I know. I've missed a day or two of "post a day in May." I wish it were "a post ALMOST every day in May." I've had a busy week: a big birthday bash for a good friend's little boy, a visit from my BFWUTBAWFF (best friend who used to be a work friend forever), Anna. These events plus dealing with inordinately obnoxious behavior from both boys has kept me from my leisure activities this week.

That and the myriad season finales on my DVR list: The Hills, The Riches, The Bachelor, Survivor, the finals of American Idol. It's important to keep up with TV too! One must do her pop culture duty, you know. I can't have the rest of the world knowing if Matt chose Chelsea or Shane and not know myself. (Shhh! Don't say! I haven't watched it yet!) It's damn irresponsible not to keep on top of current events.

So there you have it. I posted. Now I'm only 2 days behind instead of 3. More clever posts to come. Probably.

Lift your sk*rt to kirtsy

I have a late mother's day post I'm working on, but until I get a chance to finish it (after grades are turned in tomorrow), I thought I'd take a minute to broadcast some news from the blog formerly known as sk*rt, a favorite site of mine.

Sk*rt now has a new name and a new URL. Everything else about it is the same: still great links, still woman-centric content, still the hang out for all the cool girls. But now sk*rt is kirtsy. If you haven't checked it out before, click over now. But be careful, you may get sidetracked over there. Possibly for hours. And hours.
