I’m getting my hair cut, and I think I’m going to splurge and get a color as well.
So the question is…
Blonde?
Or brunette?
Blonde?
Or brunette?
Right no I’m leaning toward Zooey, but I kind of think it’d be kind of fun to have curly blonde hair as well… Hmm. The only thing I know for sure is I’m going all out for bangs. Not wimpy sweep bangs. Actual bangs. I’ll keep you updated.
Cute looks from Juliette Hogan…
Can’t remember where I found this, but cute tank!

Remember the Starry Night cake? Here are a couple more from the same artist. I just love the intricate designs…seriously going in my wedding tag folder. Too pretty to eat though!
So for the past two months, I’ve been making my way through Seasons 1-7 of Gilmore Girls. I watched the first couple of seasons on and off while it was on tv, but I missed the later ones entirely, and in my unemployment, I was desperate for some near-human contact while Drew was at work. So, I embarked upon the journey. If you haven’t seen it, it. is. so. good. It is like visiting with friends you’ve known for a long time and everything is comfortable and funny and full of inside jokes and banter about people you used to know. During the last couple of episodes of the series, I had to pace myself because I was nervous about how I would feel when my friends were gone and I couldn’t look forward to what was going to happen to them next. I was sad. Their lives just ended. There was no happily ever after, no one died. We just left them, and it was over. Before I get too maudlin in this post, let me get back to the real reason I started to blog about GG. And that is because I took some screen shots of some seriously awesome interior design that I hope to replicate once those pesky student loans are paid off. So clean and comfy and modern! Love.
Don’t worry–I have lots more interiors for you, just you wait!
Isn’t this amazing?
As soon as I saw it I was like, ooh! What abstract painting would I like to be made into a cake? I decided on a bridge over lily pads by Monet.
I think the idea would work best with impressionist paintings since icing tubes can only be so small…but isn’t that neat? It occurred to me that it would make a fun, non-traditional wedding cake.
And speaking of wedding-related things, these are the cutest invitations EVER.
And while we’re at it, this is what I would give a bride-to-be at her lingerie shower.
So cute and flirty, no? I just adore it. Alright, back to the Saints-Vikings game…go Saints!
I’m headed to Florida to spend time with family and root for Northwestern in the Outback Bowl for two weeks so this will probably be my last post of 2009. Hope everyone has a beautiful holiday and I’ll see you in a couple weeks! Am hoping I can do some frolicking in the sun and novel editing…but we’ll see. Enjoy!
ps. where did we land on the whole “twenty ten” vs. “two thousand ten” thing?
Today Two days ago, Goliath turned 5 months old, yay!!!! I thought I’d share a few pictures and videos that I’ve taken in the past couple of weeks.
He loves his tennis bone!
And his giraffe from Aunt Melanie!
He was still getting the hang of “down” here. He got a little confused when we started being more diligent about telling him to get down off the table, so now we say “off” for that.
Please ignore Drew calling Goliath GoGo. It is highly annoying and I try not to encourage him.
Pretty, no? I’m normally not a big fan of stained glass, but these panels by Daniel Maher are so detailed!!
ps. I’m watching Ellen right now and John Mayer is on. I can’t decide whether I like him or not. I kind of don’t like a lot of the messages of his song, but his voice is just so soothing… Hmm.
