all of the twig jewelry at twigsandheather.com is beautiful, but this one is my favorite because i love the time of year when these start falling from the trees. reminds me of being a kid. these are one of a kind and cast in silver. a pretty, fun way to be one with nature. just kidding. i didn't say that.

it's easter, and i just stole that title because it was fresh in my mind. not really a fan of eggs, especially when they still look like eggs with the yolk and everything. but this is still kind of cute and worthy of noting on easter.

the last thing i need is another planner i don't use. i buy several every year because i like them so much and am generally attracted to their design, but sometime during the week of january 8, they go by the wayside.
but maybe this one will work for you.

first of all, i have no idea how to pronounce espadrille. even after looking in the dictionary, i can't decipher the phonetics, if that's even the right word. and secondly, espa... you know... will always and forever remind me of the spiegel catalog of my youth. it's like the 'in' shoe year after year after year for those people. luckily for them, the espadrille crazy has seemed to have caught on... after 20 years.

my eyes are somehow drawn to all things cheap and yellow. this is fabulous, though. seriously. ditch the kiehl's and burts bees, and come aboard the cococare train of soft buttery lips.

all i'm saying is the reviews on this shoe look awfully promising. wedge+peep toe=fun!

and get rid of the map. i won't say it will make you look any cooler, but people won't hate you as much. this will give you a general idea without pissing off the natives.

technically, though, i could just buy a pad of graph paper and make my own mousepad? i know...it's not as cool. but seriously, i'd take an 8.5x11 pad, which would give more room to work, no?

i'd be all over this. something about this is much more appealing than the idea of an ipod armband squeezed around my chubby arm.

but i'm feeling completely uninspired lately. bags and shoes don't excite me anymore. i'm tired of wanting furniture i can't afford for an apartment i don't have. i thought for a second earlier i would check out ebay for tacky, kitsch-type things, which always used to make me feel better. just two days ago, manny the menorah could do it for me. but i get to ebay, and i am too apathetic to seek out a good starting spot. since when can i not find one thing on ebay?
maybe i should turn off the nina simone. i have a feeling that is acting as some huge physical and emotional depressant. i just want to crawl under my desk and go to sleep. and eat.
i'll try to muster up the energy/motivation/materialization to get it together.
i will observe hanukkah next year if i can have this menorah.

how cultured and happy i would be with this towel in my bathroom. and at less than $2 apiece, i can definitely afford it.

i've always wanted to cover an ugly light fixture in the center of a room with a parasol like this (with the handle cut down short so it would just be a few inches from the ceiling). i think it would look fun.

if i could afford to buy everyone i know one of these personalized paperweights, i would. they are great.

right now, i light candles with a tooth pick i light on my stove. it really works well and you can reuse the toothpicks but they're not as pretty as these matches...that you can light ANYWHERE.

i learned today from my friend izaak that the reason my corn won't digest is because i'm eating the endosperm, not the shell. or something. ...and now we all know why.
but that has nothing to do with these fun little corn holders. i hate loose corn (loose?) but love corn on the cob.
