Mother
May 7, 2012 What's up with mother's day? One day? Paleez, moms need at least a week - minimum. Heck, a day at the spa, three weeks on a beach, and a few male servants are more like it, but the calendar has set aside one day a year... they must be right.
If you're like a lot of moms you may be spending the day at a dance recital (the whole entire day). Hubby may be off to the links so you can spend "quality time" with the kids.
Restaurants are always over-booked and don't even try to get in on the early bird special. A waitress told me once that the absolute worst tips come on Mother's day from once-a-year diners. Your necklace will no doubt resemble the pasta you just ordered and the hastily crafted cards will still be sticky with glue.
So here's to all you wonderful moms out there -
Some famous moms:
Whistler's
Norman's
Sunscreen mom
Cinderella's step mom
HAPPY MOTHER'S WEEK!
Do you Pin?
April 26, 2012 By now you've probably heard of Pinterest - a place where you can sort out everything you love on virtual cork boards. Planning a wedding? Pin all you ideas in one place. Love to cook? Pin your favorite recipes together. Having a baby? Pin all the baby products you need in one place. The best part? you can share all your 'boards' with your friends. What's that you say? You have no friends? fear not - you can make friends on Pinterest!
We have jumped on the bandwagon and are currently updating our pinterests every few days. Stop in and follow us - we'd love to follow you, as well! We hope you like our eclectic tastes. You'll also see how hungry we become here at work (two boards and counting for food)!
Be warned - it can be quite addicting!

And of course, last but not least:

Beach Plastic
This morning, as I watched the Today Show, coffee in hand, sleep still holding fast to my eyes I was awakened with a jolt as Judith Selby Lang and Richard Lang's Beach Plastic art was spotlighted.
As a collector and saver of most things (bordering on hoarding, but much more organized), I was fascinated by the gorgeous artwork created by this husband wife team. On the other hand, I was astonished on how much plastic gets washed up on this one small beach. How much flotsam is drifting up on the world's beaches?
Their artwork is at once beautiful and is also a cautionary tale.
