clap, clap, clap…

We’ve discussed my love for Jonathan Adler time and again. So let’s just get to it.

JA has a new line of goods out at Barnes & Noble. On the one hand, I do NOT need another excuse to run into B&N. The lure of the magazine section alone will do that. But I do so *heart* me these bookends that a trip may be in order. Can I escape with just the bookends? Absolutely not. Can I escape with the bookends and maybe only four magazines? Perhaps.

(note to self: I know it alarms you to see this picture and the self-doubt it raises in that you apparently have been using book ends incorrectly your entire life. Apparently we’re supposed to leave the flat end out, not weighted down with books? Because flimsy sheet metal will hold up 400 tons of books by itself. Especially if the logo is properly placed for everyone to see…)

appeasing the elderly…

I needed to go to the store yesterday so  I asked the four year old what kind of “regular week cereal” she’d like for breakfast. “Regular Week Cereal,” as opposed to “Saturday Cereal,” the difference being that I can only stand to be around three hopped-up children one morning a week and not seven. 

She had a particular cereal in mind but she couldn’t remember the name. She described it for me several times, ending up with “it’s like those grapey things, but smaller and like sticks — little sticks that are brown and smaller than Grape Nuts.” I think and think and think and finally it comes to me. My child wants me to buy her All-Bran. 

Oh, did I say that she’s four? I meant 84. Gives new meaning to “regular week cereal” though, doesn’t it?
