cold feet?

Ok. they are not the cutest slippers I have ever seen, but I do love that they keep your feet toasty warm while you are at your desk. They connect to your USB port and heat up! Do you love that or what? I need them ASAP!

"new" bed

This afternoon I went around town buying new sheets, a new duvet cover and a new pillow (all white) to go with my Mexican pillows from Guadalajara. Then, I did about 3 loads of wash to clean my new linens and made my new "bed". Can not WAIT to crawl in it tonight. Photos are not that great as they are from my phone, my digital is MIA right now. On to playing the Game of Life while drinking wine with some guests.

memorial day

before I go off for the weekend, I wanted to take a moment and honor why I have a three day weekend. Thank you for your ultimate sacrifice. Being so close to someone that just recently died over in Iraq has changed my perspective of this holiday weekend. It is no longer just a three day weekend to kick off summer.

wingman theory

Tonight i learned from one of my guy friends the "wingman" trick. He informed me I was a victim of the WMT. Hopefully this is not true and said WM turns out to be the swooper (definitely my type) Instead of current swooper stalking me (did not strike my fancy, but actually scared me!). We shall see.

On to a new topic. I sewed myself. Like actually took the needle and thread thru my skin on my index finger while attempting to sew the strap back on my sundress. I am currently in the process of buying a sewing machine and I have started to question this new purchase. If I sew myself while doing a simple stitch, what will I do with an electric sewing machine? My roommate suggested we need to get a first aid kit stat.

new bedroom

slowly, i am redo-ing my bedroom. I am working around multi-colored hand stitched fabric from mexico. I am thinking everything white except the pillows I am making with the fabric. This is the best photo I could find of the fabric, except mine has greens, blues, oranges, yellows, etc.

on a roll

yes, i am finally blogging now. I first attempted this blog about 8 months ago. I got a blogger account and had every intention of writing the next day. but no actual blogs were written. months later here i am. on my 3rd blog in 2 days. Obviously, I am not going to attempt to be the new The Company Bitch. Like TCB, i may delete posts in a fit of paranoia but not likely. I am not going to use this blog to bitch about work, people or the crazy guy on the street (OK, maybe I will at times), but rather I am going to post about things I think are interesting, pretty and entertaining.

my avatar

today i did a presentation on UGC (user generated content), my team created avatars for our intro slide. here is my cute little avatar.

could i live in philly?

looking at these photos totally makes me want to work for urban outfitters corp. if only there were in SF rather than Philly. I do not think I am a Philly girl.
