Sweet buttery goodness! I love croissants. I know that they are terrible for you. But French women don’t get fat, right? I eat about one a week and haven’t died of a coronary yet. They remind me of this poster for sandwiches I once saw in Spain that said “Freshly Crustly Bread.” Mmmm, crustly bread!

Enough with the things I hate (evil yoga teachers, car doors, saxophone jazz), let’s move on to the things I love today. Mainly, wrap shirts. If you have what is commonly described as a “boyish” figure (let’s not kid ourselves, twiggies), wrap shirts accentuate your thin waist and help you pretend to have hips/boobs. Plus,…

Life just keeps getting weirder and weirder. Last night, Jean and I had an intense yoga session with an instructor that bore an uncanny resemblance to Rosie Perez, may have been a masochist and was dead-set on breaking our arms off. I’m not sure what type of yoga we were doing, but I left feeling…

Yay for Liz and Eric from Seattle! They have a cool crafty website called ArtGhost that sells some awesome designs. For example, these notecards and these paintings. They also have a blog. The best part: Liz is working on making a Pride and Prejudice comic book. How cool is that! You can read the first…

Thanks to birthday-boy-Joe for sending over this photo of our view from the VIP balcony at Ruby Skye last Saturday. Wild and crazy times!

For example: Oh no, I accidentally touched the curling iron…acid burn! Derived from oddness of international film “Dot the I.” Apologies to people with actual acid burns. I don’t…

Urban Outfitters…the end-all-be-all source for affordable hipster schlumpiness. Also, a great source for the occasional hidden gem. A gem like these $16 angel-wing earrings. Or these semi-bizarre raffia flats. Or this dreamy urban tea table. Or this adorable candy dish that would love to hold post-it notes at your office. Or the candy dish’s friend,…

It’s cold and rainy outside…why not stay at home tonight and start a new craft project. There are a few new babies entering this world in the next few months, so I need to think about shower presents. How about making one of the homemade teddy bears (without the tooth pocket) instead of buying a…

Whew! That was some crazy weekend! Jean’s friend Hillary was in San Francisco for a visit and we painted the town red. Plus, we had Monday off from work for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Between eating out a lot, shopping and seeing the sights it was an exhausting but fantastic weekend. Here’s some of…

It’s supposed to rain tomorrow in San Francisco and generally be pretty miserable outside. In fact, the weather report for tomorrow depicts angry dark clouds with giant yellow lightning bolts…yikes. For a city that loves the outdoors it can be easy to be stumped about rainy day activities. Here’s some don’t miss plans for Saturday:…
