1. Somewhere in my house right now there is a lump of playdoh just waiting to be squashed into the carpet, smudged into a piece of furniture, or stomped beneath someone's feet. I just have no idea where it is.
2. I am off today for election primaries. Becks went to school and B is working. This means I had FOUR glorious, guilt-free, kid-free, husband-free hours today TO MYSELF. It was sublime.
3. I found an amazing round mirror at TJMaxx made from rolled magazine pages, clearanced for ten bucks. Totally bought it.
4. A lesson in thrifting: Pick up a few old volumes of Reader's Digest novels. You will not be disappointed. Because the vintage patterns on these little friends are to die for. I have no idea what to do with them, besides stack them or prop them underneath something, but when I figure it out I'll let you know. {Also note my absolutely *favorite* novel on the bottom of the stack. My sister admitted to selling off my original paperback, so I just had to buy this one for $1. If you've never read Summer Sisters by Judy Blume, I totally and completely recommend it for the beach this summer. I bet I've read it a half dozen times. Loves it.}
For the record, the bananas in the background of this pic did finally make their way to the garbage. |
5. A lesson in Target: They're selling Calypso St. Barth goodies right now, and this little silver hurricane is so totally worth $7.99. When you put a tea light inside, it's like magic with little rays of light peeking out of all those tiny holes.
6. A lesson in bedhead: Just throw a damp washcloth on it, let sit, take picture, comb and voila! no more bedhead!
7. A lesson in plumbing: do not flush baby wipes down the toilet. A bad, expensive, disgusting, embarrassing idea. Also, that snake pulled out three random golfballs.
8. I'm out of lessons.
9. It's rainy and gloomy for the 276th day straight.
10. I haven't painted or hung my thrifted mirror yet, so Becks has taken to using it for entertainment.
Happy, happy Tuesday blog world!
