Something useful in SkyMall

For anyone that has ever picked up a SkyMall magazine while sitting a plane, you know that they have some fairly ridiculous items in there that you most likely will never have a need for such as a replica of a sword from Lord of the Rings or a suit-case that kills bed bugs…so it was a pleasant surprise that I actually found a product that I am seriously considering getting for work….a standing desk! Sign me up.

A “key” to play tic-tac-toe

The first thing I do when I open my mailbox and see junk mail is throw it away. That’s why I had to just call-out one mailer that I got recently that did make me pause (even if it was for 5 seconds) to read it simply because this direct mail piece had an actual key glued to the front that this sweepstakes company wanted me to use to play a scratch-off tic tac toe game. I didn’t do it, but it did keep my attention a little bit longer than the 500 other junk mail pieces I got that day.

Hunting for garden pots on Craigslist

What we found on Craigslist when hunting for garden pots at garage sales:

countdown to the beach

We are getting super duper excited for our upcoming trip to Hawaii! After all the to-do lists and rushing around in the last couple weeks, I think we are both ready to have nothing on our agenda except to lay around. And I got it in my head that I need to have a beach hat, obviously. Or else how could I possible relax properly?

a tree star wedding

I love The Land Before Time (who doesn’t?). Last weekend, we went for a walk and found (a leaf that resembled) a tree star. Wouldn’t it be fun to get married under a ceiling of tree stars? And who knew you could get married in the Museum of Natural History? Its super duper expensive, but you get to dance under a giant whale and have dinner with a dinosaur. (images 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

It’s a bike and a table

This past weekend we made a game-time decision to head down to the Renegade Craft Fair on Saturday afternoon to celebrate the girl’s half-birthday. There was one vendor there called Mod-Tops that was pretty awesome because they made tables and other types of furniture out of reclaimed wood and other products. The bike-table was the coolest one there I think.
