Who knew? I didn't.

Did you know Chrysler used to have a record player in their cars? I didn't.

It didn't last long.

The record skipped too much.

Well, no kidding.

If you live in a little apartment like I do, check out Apartment Therapy. They are doing a Small Cool Contest, a great resource for making your little small space your very own (well designed and decorated) home.

Enjoy, Carey.

The perfect valentines.

I am single.

Yesterday was Valentine's Day.

Did I spend Valentine's alone?

Ohhhh no! I certainly did not!

I spent it with Bruce Willis, Sam Jackson, Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman, Jeremy Irons and Wolverine.

It was a busy night.

That Bruce...such a man.

Merry Christmas...

i heart my jammies.

I just need to take a moment, and talk about my new favorite thing. That is, my new favorite thing, for this week.

When I was about 18 or so, I had this pair of striped men's pajamas. And I loved them. They were warm, comfy, and just plain old awsome. They are still in my box of things I can't quite throw away. Although I think I am missing the bottoms. No idea how I just lost just the bottoms.

So, anyway. On Saturday I decided that my Halloween themed pajamas are out of date, and I needed a new pair of pj's. I was looking through the women's stuff, and everything was just dumb. Stupid designs, too frilly, and just blah. Not my thing. So I headed over to the men's department, and low and behold...all my lovely memories came flying back. I picked up a nice pair of flannel plaid pj's. And they were $13. You can't beat that.

Since then, all I can think about on my way home...is getting into my new jammies. I LOVE THEM! Even though I wake up sweating, since it is a bit too warm for flannel right now...I don't care. I have found my perfect winter outfit. I am even wearing them right now. And, if I ever grow a penis, I have a built in opening already in place. Now, who can beat that!

Black Friday at Walmart

This is so wrong and sad.

It makes me sick and pissed off.

a new obsession

When you just don't know what to wear...visit this site and its plenty of links.

enjoy.

All the fun you can have with a curling iron.

Yearbook yourself...so great. The one on the left...pretty sure that is exactly what my mom used to looked like.

update...I called my dad to see if he got these pics that I had emailed him and he says to me "Ya, I opened it up and wondered who the person with the big nose was. And then I realized it was you." Thanks dad!

Beach Blue

I like it when someone sees something, and it reminds them of you.

That is what happened when my friend Danielle found this image floating around in the world of the blog.

Enjoy....and hopefully you can enjoy the beach as well.

Pain pain...go away.

Why yes...yes I do! Why? Because I was NOT doing this for the past 4 days...


























So, now I am going to do these exercises....






















So I don't have to get this....

International Arrivals

This morning I went to by my dad a Father's Day Card and before I even got to the card section....these lovely little gems caught my eye. You see...I love wood. Love it. And all I could think was, "oh my goodness I could refile everything at work with wood grain folders". Completely made my day. So, I just spent the last half of my day refiling every folder I had at the office. But all I have to say is....HOW FUN! I have never been so excited to get something new to file.

You can find these and other great items at International Arrivals.

Enjoy...and happy filing!

Earth Day, Danny Seo and National Geographic...

Well....so it turns out that it is Earth Day. Happy Earth Day, Earth!

I am not going to list off the million things that I did today that was earth-friendly. Because.....I did drive my car today, I had take out (in what I am sure was not an earth friendly container), and I am sure I did some not so friendly other things.

But...I did recycle a bunch of crap, was conscious about turning the lights off (OK, I actually didn't even turn them on), and tried to learn a few more tips that I can do everyday. I am learning, I am learning!

So, if you happen to be in the same boat as me...and pehaps not the most up on what is good for our old earth...here are 2 links that float my boat.

Danny Seo....Green Living Expert Danny Seo's eco-friendly and crafty ideas for everyday living (and I might have a weeee little itty bitty crush on him).

+

National Geographic's Green Guide....duh. And it is where I found this cool little tool that lists off some tips everyday...just look over there to the right and down. Fun!

enjoy

Stella and Sway

This is Sara Johnson. And this is Stella and Sway.

Luckily for Regina, Stella and Sway is a new boutique that had its grand opening tonight, with a little champagne and cupcake fun to boot. The Covet, Elroy, Kensie, and Kersh lines can all be found there. The shop and clothing are gorgeous, eco-friendly and just down right fantastic.

The thirtysomethings of Regina thank you, Sara. Congrats!

hannah banana

This is Hannah. Hannah is my 12 yr old niece. Hannah rocks.
Why does Hannah rock? Because this is her surfing for the first time in Hawaii.
Years of dance and raising her as a beach bum totally paid off.
