  • july, you crazy month, you fly.

    I am getting all set for a two week trip home to California. This means great debates like, "Do I take my paper cutter?" "Should I check my hole punch?" You would think for a two week trip, I could hang up my scrap supplies and return to them when I got home. But thing…

  • i heart friday.

    Ork Posters! Famous for their city neighborhood posters, this new heart one was an insta fave. I love that it works for Paul because on his journey to become a doctor, he has developed a crush on organs. I love that it works for me because it is graphically delightful. I love that it's a…

  • out with the old. in with the june.

    I am obsessed with the new anthro catalog, but sadly, I have only seen it from afar. Anthropologie stopped sending me catalogs. Which I was fine with until the June issue was full of letterpress looking type. I actually went to a store yesterday in search of the catalog, but alas, they were out. Long…

  • a recap.

    It was my mission to document this weekend. I did & it was good.

  • friday.

    This seemed to be the lesson of lessons on Grey's last night. Along with "Are you SERIOUS?" And also, "I'll love you even when I hate you." Whew. What a rush. I woke Paul up I was so freaked out. And Paul half asleep is not the one you want to calm your nerves. He…

  • heat wave.

    It's hot! Hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk. But yesterday we cooked burgers and hotdogs on the grill instead. Nothing says "Welcome Summer, please help yourself to a fresh cold beer!" like a backyard barbecue.
