  • Ten facts about Oregon

    Ten facts about Oregon

    So, yesterday I dedicated a whole post to my little sister’s 23rd birthday. Because she has A LOT of friends on Facebook, I got a lot of hits on my blog. Now, I know the hits are related to her birthday but I’m going to pretend its because I wrote a ridiculously witty and sweet…

  • Happy Birthday to my little sister!

    Happy Birthday to my little sister!

    Today is my baby sister’s 23rd birthday. In honor of such a memorable occasion, I am dedicating this post to her. She has many incredible characteristics of which I’ve chosen to highlight a few both through picture, video, and audio. Yes, that’s right. Its a trifecta of incredible memories. AUDIO Let’s start with something that…

  • Farmer's Markets…. are my weak spot

    Farmer's Markets…. are my weak spot

    Its Wednesday… and that means its Farmer’s Market day in Scituate. I am a huge sucker for crates of fresh fruits and vegetables. So delicious and inspiring. I anticipate seeing a lot of apples today, which will make me think about apple pie, apple crisp, or just apples with peanut butter. All great options. One…

    Update: Amazon/Heidi Klum v. Lululemon

    Ok, I admit my blog title might be a bit misleading. As far as I know, there is no war being waged between these two parties – although Lululemon fans think there should be. I find it a little surprising that there isn’t much more out there beyond blog entries of people commenting on the…

  • The music taste of 11 year old boys

    The music taste of 11 year old boys

    I will admit that I have questionable music taste at times. I have openly and knowingly procured an embarassing amount of pop music fit for the collection of teenage girls. I’m not going to share my music library with you … but I’ll leave you with the fact that I own the entire KeSha album.…

  • Copycat? No?

    Copycat? No?

    Do these two look similar to you at all? They do to me. I was watching Project Runway this week and when I saw this design by Andy, the first thing I thought of was the Lululemon trademark. I kept waiting and waiting for one of the judges or fellow designers to say something –…

  • Buy a Wonderfile!

    Infomercials are pretty great…. for a few key reasons…. of which I’ll share with you of course. 1) 50% of the time the solution actually makes sense – this is not the case with the “Wonderfile” 2) The people are genuinely happy to act like idiots 3) The item always seems to come in more…

  • Graffiti…

    Graffiti…

    I’m always intrigued by what people who do graffiti decide to paint. Now, to be clear I’m not in any way condoning defacing public or private property for that matter… But I think its pretty neat anyway. On last Saturday morning, I went with my mom to Fort Revere in Hull. I had no idea…

  • Shopping on eBay

    In the last year or so, I’ve become more and more comfortable buying and selling on eBay. Now, to be truthful… a fair amount of my “buys” have come from China. Its always a little bit entertaining to get the package from China and see whether or not the seller has declared it as “gift”…
