Valentine’s Day is kicking my…

rapidly-swelling-because-of- massive- Conversation- Heart- inhalation ass.  

FYI: If someone begs you to be a room mother because no one else has signed up, there’s a reason for that. One, apparently this seemingly-simple job is too much work and other people know that, and two, you have “sucker” stamped on your forehead. 

Don’t say you weren’t warned.

See you tomorrow after I’ve burned all the candy in the house.

day-oh! day-ay-ay-oh!

Ok, so I’m not one of those salt & pepper shaker people. You know, the collecting type. I have maybe three sets in the house: one, a very functional Oxo set; one that’s more for company (although we rarely remember to use them when the rare day rolls around that we have company); and then this Lilliput set from Alessi (which we also rarely use but I *lurve*). 

So now (of course!) Alessi has done it to me again with the cute, plasticky things with faces. This time in the form of a set of S&P monkeys. And not just monkeys — monkeys on a banana boat flume ride! 

You know the best part about these things I love from Alessi? The fact that I get to buy toys for ME, and then leave them sitting around in plain view. Because they’re not really toys, right? They’re functional household objects… that make me smile.
