goodies for goodness' sake!
Yep, it's a tagline at The Walrus, but it's also true for today's post...
1.
2. I received my rubber stamps order yesterday afternoon from The Paper Princess, and oh my goodness, such art…
whine-free zone (for today, at least)
Melissa and I had a blast with our paper crafting last night, will post pics later from home. She had such a good time she's home playing hooky today and visiting Hobby Lobby to buy…
Wandering Gnome
So my boss finally gave me the final verdict on my request for LOA yesterday. This decision was a little over a month in the making. You'd think some creative options were being bandied about in that tim…
Interactive Wonderland
Perhaps many of you are already familiar with Ruthann Zaroff because of her fabulous Mirkwood Designs templates, but I happened to cross another part of her wondrousness last night as I was search…
Stunningly Addictive
I just spied this via She's So Unusual. I too am addicted. See:
garden gnome
the walrus & the carpenter
black lab
monkey (chimp)
edward gorey
lewis carroll
david glasper (for Becky too!…
where's the plateau?
Unregulated hormones really make me trippy. A few months back it was all dips and valleys, but for some reason, this month is all peaks and sunshine. Not that I'm complaining, because I'm not. It's …
handy
Loads of fun links to pass forward today:
Skype, via my Monkey. Way cheap (in some cases, free) internet phone. He used it several times to phone home from his hotel in SC, sounded just like a good land line. …
sniffer
I lurve pretty smells. I think I'm a pretty nostalgia-driven kind of person, and sometimes the oldest of memories, little snippets of time that you'd forgotten you'd filed away in your head somewhere, get instan…
green morning
Apparently, there was a big rainstorm early this morning (I slept through it. I am a slug, remember?). The sun is out now, but the air feels so clean and fresh and green (it smells like lawns and trees and…
good weekend!
Oy, is it Monday already? This weekend flew by (the whole summer did, really), but it was fantastic in these here parts. Hoping you and yours enjoyed your weekend too!
Low news incidence on the gnome fron…
fantastic, fanciful Friday!
Nothing big to report, just ultra-glad it's Friday! Woo hoo!
big, big thanks to BumbleV for a great sales lead (won't divulge any more at this point in time, in case of spoiler risk...). T…
happy toes
They're happy because I finally painted them after having let them go nude for weeks when my last bits of painting them peeled away. They were feeling so naked and shameful peeking out from my sandals. As gno…
truant
I played hooky from work today. I didn't play at all though. It was all work at home though (yea! big tasks to cross off the list!), and in all honesty, I wasn't feeling well at all. I even went to the doctor thi…
Mai & Patrick = cute
I just opened the thank you card from Mai & Patrick and found that they had a little insert of their modeling superstar session inside. So sweet!
I want to go to Taiwan and get a fun …
Old & Decrepit
That would be me, apparently. Yesterday Monkey convinced me that I need to go get my hearing checked out (in all seriousness, jokes aside, really go to the doc for this) because I have been having him…
Happy Birthday Ashley! Hope you have dozens and dozens and dozens more heaped upon you. (Man, do I feel old; I remember when this little one was a mere baby!)
Love! G
before & after
My stylist is fab. Goodbye, sweet token ponytail.
Also, I swing in roundabouts between insomniac and narcoleptic.
Makeovers for everything gnome G! Hurrah! (hoping to repost all those lost links s…
lots of pure fluff
Man, it's been a quiet few days on news and happenings, so it's really just fluff these days I have to ponder on. Consider yourself forewarned: nothing earth-shattering or thought-provoking with today…
Holy Cannoli!
This afternoon, out of the blue, I was seized by a sudden and severe hankering for a crispy, creamy, delicious cannoli. This following an hour of feeling quite queasy. The obvious question would probably b…
Oh snap!@ I accidentally reset my settings and wiped out all my cool links and formatting code and everything. I hate Xanga. It's called a flipping confirmation dialog. Use it, you user-interface fools!!
In searching fo…
Chicago, Chicago....
We're still in the process of getting our acts together enough to list the house so we can move into an apartment for a bit and determine what we're going to do in terms of locale. If we stay here, …
Hot Fun in the Summertime!
Casey was lapping up the fun this weekend in the height of the dog days of summer. So sweet. She loves to take a running leap into the pool for maximum splash effect, and she likes to share he…
