2. I'm probably a bit late to the party on this since I think scrapbook bloggers have been extolling its virtues for at least the last few years, but Simon Says Stamp, is probably the best-stocked scrapbook online store I've ever visited. I spent about an hour on the site today alone, and I'm pretty sure I could have added no less than 100 super-cool things to my cart. Unfortunately, their shipping charges are astronomical, so I'm waiting to find a big-ticket item to make paying $8 worth it. I'm just not a fan of paying $8 to ship a 3" unmounted rubber stamp that's only $4 to begin with.
3. A few years ago there was a show on ABC called Eli Stone. At the time, I thought it was brilliant (especially in conjunction with Pushing Daisies and Life). Unfortunately it tanked after 2 seasons (just like Pushing Daisies and Life) because of that god awful writers strike. Well, seeing as Maryland has become a hot bed of all sorts of crazy unseasonable weather that granted me a snow day on Monday (3 days before Spring officially started I might add) I chose to use the day for evil instead of good. That is, I lounged on the couch like a slug and pulled out a DVD set I hadn't watched in a while - Eli Stone! I had forgotten just how good the writing and acting and point was. I'm currently loving Jonny Lee Miller in Elementary, but nothing compares to his possible prophet, George Michael hallucinating, San Francisco lawyer, with a killer American accent I might add (he's usually a posh Brit) who's using the aneurysm in his head for good instead of evil. Yes, when I put it like that, it sounds ridiculous, but it's sweet and funny and has a great soundtrack and I only wish it could have stayed on air longer than it did!
Oh and there's Victor Garber too. How can you not love Victor Garber? He's literally a god among men : )
4. Coming from someone who's only personal experiences with owning a pet were 3 goldfish - 1 suicidal and the other 2 just plain old belly-up, I don't really buy into the whole everyone needs a pet thinking. Don't get me wrong, I love most furry animals and will melt at the sight of a puppy. I just don't want one waking me up at 3 am by barking at imaginary cats. But these pics are so darn cute, I can almost jump on the puppy-wagon.
5. Shopping for Spring....finally! As I mentioned above, Maryland weather has been feeling a bit schizophrenic this year. Now, even though we're calling for even more snow next week sometime, all the spring colors and styles are out in the stores. I can't tell you how good it felt to walk into Loft and Talbot's and buy capris and cotton tees in all sorts of bright colors instead of pants and sweaters in all sorts of grays. Go away winter! We're just not that into you...
