Designer Maja Ganszyniec is gonna help all us night owls who never seem to get enough sleep because we like to work AND PLAY. Solution, sleep at work on my pillow tie or my pillow sleeve. Oh genius, seriously genius. If only it could be a little more fashionable.
Don't copy me! Will be something I will never have to yell at the little boy next to me ever again! Gosh this is a cute little desk! I can see it in my little desk nook right now!
Check out the great little hole for cords so everything can stay powered and still be organized and neat. Such a great design by Gam Fratesi.
I just watched this sweet sweet video of a young and happy couple choosing a baby name. There is beauty in this video. In the love these two seem to share.
It made me think of a moment Ketch and I had a couple evenings ago.
The other day he made me sad. Not in the "he hurt my feelings" sort of way. More in the "his idea of what love and relationships are in general just sucks" kind of way. It made me sad for him and for me.
We were all snuggled up on the couch watching a new favorite show called Modern Family (watch it, it's fun! But that's beside the point.) and began a conversation about one of the actors from the show - Ed O'Neil. Otherwise known as Al Bundy from the much beloved (or hated in mine and my mom's case) show Married with Children. I was saying how I enjoyed his new character so much more. Al Bundy was just so gross. So unhappy. The whole show was. Ew. Then Brad said, "I don't know, I like the show. I think he was just acting the way men feel when they're married."
WHOA WHOA WHOA! Hold the phone! Ew. "That's what you think marriage has to be like? Hateful and spiteful, fight filled and complacent." Sounds like hell. It makes me sad that this is the impression he's gotten from the marriages he's seen in his life. The examples have apparently not been the most positive.
I hope to change his view on this. Not that we are ready for marriage. But it's something I want in my life. And when you invest time in a relationship, it's impossible not to look into the future. Because all I want is a partner in crime. A lover and a fighter that has my back. I want to wake up in the morning tomorrow and 20 years from now and still be happy to see his perfect sleeping face. I don't want to take him for granted or feel taken for granted. I want to feel like I'm part of a team. The best team. He is my Ketchup and I am his Mustard. I love him so.
I guess we'll see as life plays out. Que Sera Sera.
(Since posting this I have watched more videos of the sweet couple. They're happy laughter and pretty voices are an inspiration and lesson in love. So cute)
I want an Iphone soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad! I just found the most amazing app blog! Dec. 11th is when I finally can get that $99 phone. Counting the minutes Iphone. Counting.
So when my friend Cassi told me abt the old man who bought her car and then started leaving her perverted voicemails, I thought, wow, worst voicemails ever! But no, I think Dimitri here takes the cake. And they aren't even perverted, just freaking CRAZY!
Haha, do you think the girl called back? I don't think so. She actually called her local Canadian Radio station and had them played on the air.
I've been helping my sister with her costume designs for OCT's performance of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Here is a sneak Peak! It opens Halloween and runs through Nov. 22nd! Don't miss out, this show is to die for!
Projects are underway to sustainably change the infrastructure of Beijing's City Center. I want to be a part of this change. With my focus being in the Interior Design field, the new buildings being built and the old buildings that are being reinvigorated are in dire need of this skill set. basically there is no other area in the world that is in more need of sustainably minded designers. With China's cities growing at a rate that no country in the world has ever known I feel it is the place to be and learn. Nothing has excited me more than the idea of being part of the biggest GREEN OVERHAUL the world has ever seen.
Okay, did anyone have an American Girl doll? Did anyone have a Felicity doll to be more precise? Well I did, and one of my favorite of her accessories was the doll-sized real sugar cone that came wrapped in blue paper for all of Felicity's baking needs. Apparently this is how sugar was packaged back in 1774. Now we have a modern and deliciously packaged little single serving version from Emily Bertrand-Villemure...solid spheres of sugar fill each tube and are scented with an array of yummy smells to heighten the experience of coffee, tea or any other treat.
I would like to cut and paste our faces into this spread from Teen Vogue (yes, teen vogue). They are even driving my car! (via Teen Vogue and Camp Comfort)
I love reading Pacing the Panic Room. Every few months I sit down at my computer and just scroll through his lovely written posts. He is so very in love with his wife, her son and their new baby.
Look at what they did when they needed a date night. Painted portraits of each other rather than going to the bar.
Today we were supposed to go here. I made plans. It looked beautiful. Then he said all the wrong things. So here we sit at the coffee shop. In silence.
I want! I need! I must have! This is the first clothing item this season that has literally made my palms sweat. Lindsey Thornburg's cloaks are absolutely stunning, modern and a piece I can own forever. If only they weren't close to $1000. I will have to figure out my own version!
