Pushing Daisies

I love this television show, and you should too. It is in danger of being canceled, which would be very sad indeed. Where else do you get Vivian and Lily, the Darling Mermaid Darlings, plus detective Emerson Cod, a girl named Chuck, a geeky-hottie named Ned, sassy Olive Snook, and an eatery called The Pie Hole? Not to mention poor Digby the dog. So please start watching if you aren't already! (Especially if you are one of the mythical "Nielsen" households). Read here for more about how to save the show. You'd be doing me a personal favor.

Is that really necessary?

I hate leaf blowers, and I make no apology for it. You can give me reasons why you think they are the greatest invention ever, I will still hate them. They are loud, polluting, energy-wasters.

Raking is enjoyable. Raking is good exercise. Raking makes your lawn healthier. Raking could prevent me from strangling you at 7:00 AM. 'Nuff said.

Today I'm in love with...

French Femme Pop

I don't even remember what led me to it, but today I stumbled on AccuRadio's French Pop: femmes internet radio station. I'm really digging it. Check it out here. (Go to "French Pop" in the alphabetical list, then click "Femmes".

Four Years

I love this image, because this is exactly what I feel when I think about the possibilities the next four years bring. Whether or not you voted for Obama, I hope everyone can come together to help bring about positive change for our country and the world.

Does this ever stop sucking?

You would think after more than five years of trying to get pregnant, I'd stop getting my hopes up. Especially as we aren't really "trying" at the moment (taking a break sometimes does wonders for the psyche). But once I thought it might be a possibility, I got a little excited again. Silly me!

Bright and Beautiful

Isn't this pretty? It's so different than what I usually like, but I was really inspired when I saw it. I don't think I could ever go this bold in a living room, but maybe in the bathroom, or the office?
