A Receive Pie Glitz Shinny
I've never been good at word games, but I've always enjoyed playing and I'd like to add I've always been a graceful loser especially at Scrabble (even if that game is not allowed in my apartment anymore). Hitting that 3 o'clock slump that I'm so familar with I went on over to have some word play with anagrams and this site took out all the guesswork. It was a toss up between "A Cheese Verily Pining Zit" and "A Receive Pie Glitz Shinny." Sorry I liked the sound of the latter.
I even took things a step further with the acronym generator SPoNGY is my favourite: SPoNGy: SPecialize everythiNG. You can never have enough acronyms within any project/document -- so do it up or SOUP: SO do it UP.

Anthropologie, how I love you
So today in getting my mail -- usual junk mail, pizza coupons, bank statement -- all-in-all a bust ... until I spot a small cream envelope. I cannot help but love unusually sized objects in the mail (I'm partial to small ... that way when they are really cute they fit in my pocket). This one was 5 1/8" by 3 5/8" addressed to me! However it was an ad ploy the lovely Anthropologie text placed just so on the opening of the envelope, still I was intrigued.
Anthropologie's catalogue is always a treat the pictures are just, well they are just so -- their store is wonderful and displays brilliant -- so I should expect nothing less from their birthday mailer. Sigh ... Anthropologie, how I love you -- and RESPECT you because even though you want me to spend money on my birthday -- you gave me a cleverly crafted card -- and that's the bees knees.

Baby Time!
Video from Brian Ries of this time-lapsed little mister flying around the room. Today I've been sick and sleeping half the day and this made me smile!

Chair Re-Vamp x 2
The Chairs are Finally Done!
These are chairs I bought at Diversity Thrift several months ago -- the weekend project took longer than expected.
They started as several layers of stain under, over, above etc. -- I know this because of the massive hand sanding effort that took place.
Then they were covered with a dark chocolate almost black stain.
