"CFLs and bourbon, together at last"

Check out this cool video from the "Carrotmob" in San Fransisco.

I will always wish people and companies would do the green thing just because it's what's right, but I accept that some find their bottom line more convincing. This is a smart approach to dealing with that reality.

I would like to smack some of those so-called hippies around for not bringing their own shopping bags. Hello trees, goodbye forest.

Tiny onions

Is it weird that I am totally enamoured of the onions we bought to plant?


I never knew they weren't seeds. They're teeny, tiny onions. I don't want to plant them, I want to read them a story and tuck them in to bed. I want to dig out all my old Barbies and have them cook up some french onion soup. I want to pin them to a little scientist board and display them with little name labels like cutus tinybitus.


But then, in the end, I do want to plant them after all, because mmmmm... onions...

Love, J

Pin curl doll

Love, love, love pin curls.


And these two too, of course.

Reading rainbow

Could I have found a more productive way to spend my evening?


Most definitely.

Do I wish I had?


No way.

Indoor soccer

G is #12.


Once they get moving, the photos go from in-focus to "artistic."



I do not know much about sports. But I do know that these girls are intense. I especially like when the hubs is able to join me at a game, because of the face he makes when the girls slam each other up against the plexiglass partition that we spectate through - pure horror.








Seriously, just TRY not to love this kid. It's friggin' impossible.

Sucker for satin

My wedding is loooong over, but I still happen upon things every so often - venues, songs, food - that make me think, "This would be great for a wedding!"

Today it is this dress:

It's for sale in this shop.


Isn't it stunning?

I wouldn't change much about the way we did it the first time, it was so much fun. But my tastes are so different now that if I were to start over with the planning, a very different reception would result.

About the only taste I have that remains unaltered is my preference for this guy.


Since we had the first ceremony so young, I'm wondering if we could pull off a second one at the 10-year mark? No presents or anything (though I'm not gonna lie, I do love presents ; ) Just a chance to throw another big party and get all fancy and invite everyone we know, including all the new friends we've made since we did the whole thing last time.

I don't think a big 10-year anniversary bash would be a bad idea at all.

So can I buy that dress now?

Love, J
