Yeah, yeah, I know… neither occasion happens until Q4′08 (d’oh! too much time working in tall, shiny buildings!)…
But, my mommy loves me soooooo much that she bought me this pretty-pretty early 
(You shut up, Haley! I know you will be trying to pry this out of my cold, dead fingers when I’m gone! Don’t EVEN try to deny it! Cheesy?? Hmph!)
Yay for another homage to the fabulousness that was my Nana & Papa (my mom’s parents!)
Mom…. YOU RULE (reason #657,150)
Ok, so David REALLY got featured, but dang… I think he deserves it! Click the pic and take a look!
In high school my mom’s boss was David’s dad. His sister, Jen, was my best friend. I remember in college how horrified Jen and I were that he tore up the carpet in his house and painted the concrete floor! HAHAHA Of course, now that’s all the rage!
And who is surprised that he’s washing down an old Mercedes?
Aaaaah, good old Fort Bragg. Well, not really so much good as old!
Willits owns the “good” designation!
Crap.
Literally.
The crap’s hitting the fan here at work and I need to … dare I say it?.. work!
Our office is moving on up from
to
… and I’m doing all the packing.
help!
EDIT: While the new place is so gorgeous in its views inside and out, don’t they KNOW how wrong it is to remove me from a Shiny Thing??
How dare they mock my one true love?
Dear Robert Smith,
Still, after all these years, it is I who can make you happy. I just know it!
xoxo – Emily, your biggest fan
So that I may visit it, pet it, and gaze in to its beauty…
UmberDove, sweet darling of mine, thank you for not making this in colors that are in my scheme. My BUY!! button pressing finger is twitchy enough as it is!
(but pleeeese make one, in blues and silvers around 9/15/08, k? :-D )
Christine has just posted the first picture from her stay this week – and it’s a beaut!
Haley and Hydrangeas – two of my favorite things
“Priceless” is how they describe the oldest existing bottle of Veuve Clicquot champagne. The more than century old bottle of bubbly was recently found, just hanging out, in the sideboard of a Scottish Castle.
That’s not surprising. They’re hitting the Islay, not the frou frou French crap 
…”earthy femininity by balancing soft modern furnishings with time worn primitive finds”…
Put it however you want, but I think this is 100% pure, unadulterated fug.
Eero Saarinen is rolling over in his grave right now. His beautiful tulip table with some busted old farm cabinet and chairs? Eclectic is one thing, but this is just stupid. You can’t just throw all sorts of random shit together and call it design – then give it national exposure.
Bah!
I need a 10 & Tonic.
Haley and Christine are already out and about exploring The City. I’m sure some amazing pictures will come of their adventures!
Edit: OMG – Look how cute my babygirl is! I just want to pinch her little rosy cheeks when she wears her dance hoodie And her bangs are looking quite badass these days!
Happy Birthday to Cousin Sam!
What an awesome day for a pool party!
Now that my Haley-bug is home
She made me some fantastic gifts (will post pics tonight) and she looked around at the work done on the house, oooohing and aaaahing and said, “is this really our bathroom?!?@” heheh
So cute she is! So much more svelte, too! Thanks, Mom, for everything! We can’t wait to see you in a few weeks!
xoxo
Most of my faithful readers (Mom and Rae) are on the road today – and I’m just too distracted to come up with any snippets of brilliance any way! Mom is taking Haley to the airport and I’ll be waiting for her in Oakland with some seriously hug-deprived arms!
Because we’re the kind of chicks that are cool like that we are going straight from the airport to the movie theater. We’ve been waiting to see WALL-E until we could see it together! Yay!
My mom and I chat on Yahoo messenger throughout the day*, most days, because she lives in BFE and I rarely call her on the satellite phone (see – I wasn’t kidding about BFE!!) because it’s just…. weird.
Anywho… she had her sassy pants on and I was lamenting the lack of a smiley sporting a middle finger. So what does she do? She invents one!
Beat that, Suckas!
* Reason #245,967 why my mother is better than yours: she’s on YIM. She’s also on MySpace (#657,100) and has a wireless router (#549,861).
I want to do something offbeat and unusual in the nook in my bedroom where my little chromed vanity will live. I was thinking of painting it the same blue from the hall. That way every color in the house will come together in the hall and doorway to my room. There’s only 5, including the baseboards and trim, so it’s not like it’ll be a paintbox collision.
I happened to stumble upon this online store, Re-Modern, that happens to be on the upper Peninsula! Talk about reasonable prices! Any way, these wall tiles totally fascinate me.
Looking for a snuggly way to keep warm while reading a book or watching a movie? Here’s your solution!
From Troy’s Pink Saturday party, on Pride Eve.
C’mon – it’s San Francisco. That’s how we roll.
(this will be first in an ongoing series, I think )
I didn’t see Option C when I went shopping, but what I did see was something that is a better fit. I am going for a Hollywood Regency vibe (because I can’t pull it off fully with my limited knowledge, talent and funds) and this Chinoiserie motif is soooo apropos.
And for the price, I got a lot more than I had planned! Ka-ching!
Rachel… I am so very, very proud.
Hmmm… methinks this bedroom color looks a tad familiar
The weather was GORGEOUS in Seattle. I had the best time visiting with Kelly and Brad!
It’s a shame I suck so bad and failed to take a single picture at Marianne’s! I was having too much fun catching up and marveling at her beautiful chilluns. I’ll make up for it next trip! Haley and I will go stay with them – soon!
Click the pic of Kelly and I for the rest of the set!
