I don’t think I can say it enough. I love Ikea. With the exception of about three things, our entire house is has been furnished by the good company of Sweden. Some of my favorite new purchases include this lamp and these chairs. In red, of course.
I bought this book: Beginning CSS Web Development: From Novice to Professional by Simon Collison with a gift card over the summer. It’s fantastic! I am a complete novice with this sort of thing, but I’m learning quickly thanks to this book. Thanks to Collison, I’ll never forget to top center my background image again.
If you like playing with color and color palettes, you’ll love this site - Colour Lovers. I’m playing with a blog redesign right now and it’s the perfect place to create a palette. Fun!
Happy New Year! I think of you both often. Have made the transition to vegetarianism. Maybe vegan one day. It’s a process. I love the challenge to be creative and the health benefits as well. Come to Austin and visit me sometime.

Okay, so I am coming to this way late, but I just wanted to commiserate on the Money Pit situation. We are considering selling our house next year just to avoid putting in a new roof and furnace. I know I don’t want to stay in this house for another five or so years, so I know we’d never get our money back (we’d have to finance those repairs). Well, there are other reasons why we want to sell but those are big ones. As it stands now we have a huge To Do list just to get the house ready to show. Ugh.
GREAT letter! But I was shocked to see the notebook paper with FIVE HOLES! At a Catholic school? No wonder you Mount Saint Joe’s/Joe Paradox chicks were completely out of control!
I would still love to do a little “wax on wax off” with Ralph Macchio.
Really? This is the eighth season? How did that happen? My friend Jen noticed last night that some of the kids auditioning were 9 when the series began. Nine. As in “years old.” Some observations:
* The minute Alex Wagner-Trugman walked on stage, the seedlings of a new obsession were planted. I can see this one inspiring Missy and me to purchase tickets to concerts we will never attend.
* Hey, I don’t know if you noticed, but this season there’s a BLIND GUY on the show. I know, you’re totally surprised by that, right? Because they didn’t mention “the most touching audition in Idol history” every three minutes during the entire two-hour show. They should really set that kind of story up with MORE promos so we’re not caught so off-guard.
* Trying to high-five a blind guy, Ryan? Not so much. And watching you “kiss” that chick made you look gayer than any slash fanfic that’s been written about you to date.
* “Thank you, Sexual” has to be the greatest response to any audition, of any show, ever in the history of all performing arts.
Best recap I’ve read all day. I heart Alex too. He was totally charming and I am looking forward to our obsession.
Ryan was as annoying as ever. He looked completely horrified at being kissed by the slutastic girl in the bikini who had the fake cat fight with Paula and Kara. I really wished they’d shown that promo a few more times, too.
