O My Stars!

I Need This! I went to a planetarium last night, and I remembered why I wanted  to be an astronaut when I was a kid. This night light takes you there every night!

Pretty Cute Yummy Things

These baked goods are so pretty and cute. Two things I like very much.

What to Expect Before Your Expecting

Well this is an idea for a book that truly touches my heart and is slightly silly in a way. The famous old book What To Expect When You're Expecting is nice and all, but what about the facts before you take on that responsibility?? For the many people that dream of being a parent, this is not who I am talking to (although it would offer advice for all). Being a parent is so stressful, I would imagine. I come from a brood of five, so I've done a little rearing myself, and I know it's not easy. The picture above is just a fake book jacket. I think it could potentially be handed out to all 6th graders during their sex-ed classes. It would also be printed in every language.

I Love Lamp

Since I always notice the lighting everywhere I go, I plan on making my own little business out of it for a class this fall. Last Summer I got the idea to make a lamp out of a big wine jug I found at a rummage sale. I added a cork light bulb thing and a lampshade. Wahlah! An awesome light! This isn't the one I made, but it is a lot like it. I plan on making the shade a little more spiffed up with my stamps that I intend to make sometime this Summer. Why do I give myself so much work? Oh, well, at least I can pace myself!

Go the F#^% To Sleep!

Samuel Jackson narrates this wonderful children's book. It's more an adult children's book. Well, you'll get it:) Have a f#@*^ing listen, OK?

Kelly Kapoor, Kindred Spirit

Mindy Kaling plays my secret, inner-self on The Office and is actually one of the writers for the show. She wrote a new book and an excerpt is available online here. This is one the funniest things I've seen since the Tina Fey book I read a couple weeks ago. That's not very long, but it is still very funny. Go women comedians! Also, see Bridesmaids. Just saying.

Stamps!

This is the most beautiful stamping collection, well, probably ever. Geninne's art blog is so inspiring. Her stamp carving class is something I would absolutely love to take. So, so creative.
