My mildly-OCD six-year-old has been poring over her bank contents this afternoon, and just ran into the room SOME VERY EXCITING NEWS! Â
“Hey Mama, Mama, guess what?! This penny right here is the OLDEST penny I have… guess when it was made? 1996!  And you can EVEN STILL READ THE WRITING ON IT!â€Â   Â
uh, yeah, thanks kid.Â

JIF peanut butter smells like dry-roasted butt. Â
By contrast, Lays Kettle Cooked chips smell like sweet, furry kitten rainbow dreams.  Â

These baby instruction cards have had me giggling all morning. If I were to have another baby, I’d print them all out and use them as a chair rail-height border around the kid’s room. And then, most likely, I’d maniacally rip it all down again because I’d remember I hate wallpaper borders. Man, those pregnant women can be IN-sane! Â

We’ve spoken many times of my love for sock monkeys. And so imagine my glee when I came across these sock monkey art prints by Brenda Young. They are fantastic! And a total steal at only $12. She sells on ebay,  etsy and imagekind, but I imagine she gets the biggest cut if you buy off of her personal website, ClubhouseB.Â

Ok, I just read this post on Apartment Therapy and kept thinking, “Customs of a Design — what an awkward name for a furniture store.” It’s just weird, right? Well, turns out it’s Custom Sofa Design!  bwahahahahahaha!Â

I’m not in love with the Moroccan themes throughout this LA Times house tour, and I’m not even such a fan of the color green… but I am bowled over by the fearlessness of this stairwell.

There’s a tour of the Martha Stewart prop room over on Martha’s blog. Just look at it, it’s mesmerizing. Can you even imagine having access to all of this cool stuff?!

as to why the world needs strapless G-string underwear. Yes — really, truly.
A “strapless G-stringâ€? Wouldn’t it be more correct to call it a “stringless G-stringâ€? And then, logically, just a “Gâ€?  Or, perhaps more logically, “idiotic.”Â
 (note: I have come up with approximately four zillion good, filthy jokes to write in this post but somehow cannot bring myself to type in even one of them.)Â

Why? Because. Because it’s a shirt with a wizard doing the ROCK-AND-ROLL! hands… Wizard Rock! What could be more awesome than that? I’ll tell you — the fact that it has silver shimmer ink…
ROCK AND ROLLLLLLLL!

Ok, so *right* after I say I’m not a salt and pepper shaker person, I see yet another set that I’m totally in love with. But before we go on, let me just say once again (despite the mounting evidence), I am not this person. Really.
Right, then.
Part of me is in love with the Dedo Seasoning Sticks set. I think it’s a great idea with a fabulous execution — we’ve all seen S&P sets, but never any that looked like this. The other part of me, however, is a bit worried. Mostly about my little boy. And his extreme drumming tendencies. Because I’m guessing to a two year old’s eyes this looks like “WOO HOO, DRUM STICKS! LOTS OF DRUM STICKS! AND LOOK! THEY SPRINKLE STUFF! ALL OVER THE HOUSE!”
So chalk yet another beautiful thing up to “love it, but maybe later.”
oh, Le sigh…
