WHEN THE CAT'S AWAY, THE MOUSE SHOULD HAVE PLAYED

I should have thought of this sooner. Nate has been in Las Vegas since Monday and it would have been the perfect time to add a rug to his office, hang all the art we've decided goes there, and made it look all cozy and pretty for him. Why am I only thinking about this on Wednesday night? Nate returns home on Friday...not nearly enough time to do anything credible. Well, one thing is for sure, he'll have another trip that is long and I'll be at home watching way too much "Cold Case". All the photos are from Apartment Therapy.

DO YOU SMELL GAS?

On Friday, during a company meeting {and also my third day at the new job} there were two loud explosive-type sounds and the smell of gas. This led to a quick exit of the building and the chance to stand in the sun for about an hour. Though the experts weren't able to locate the cause or location of the sounds we called it a day around 11:30.
After a quick trip to Costco, I went home and spent about three hours working in the yard and then finished up by cleaning my entire house. I know it might not have been the best way to spend a "free day", but I got everything done on Friday which meant Saturday and Sunday became unbridled by scrubbing toilets.

A NEW CALENDAR YEAR

With 2007 racing by, now might be a good time to start looking at all the cute calendars out there. Something pretty and inspiring for 2008. Anthropologie has loads of cute options. I like the idea of vintage maps on my desk so I can study all the places I'd love to visit. The paris calendar imitates vintage paris postcards.
