I haven't even made it out of the yoga pants and t-shirt I slept in, so you're all doing a lot better than me.

Black pants, black sneakers, and a burgundy sleeveless sweater.

I bought this paint your own pirate chest the other day for TCG's niece and nephew and I thought it might be a craft project to interest buffista parents. Ages 4 and up.

vw, how many people get an office that comes with wall-to-wall dogs?

Not many. It's pretty awesome.

and how happy are we - I'm assuming I can speak for the board in general - to have you say "life is good"?

Awww...shucks! Thanks! It is good. It would be even better if I could convince CBD to come out and take a swim with me tonight, but he's being all responsible and shit. How did I find a boy who is more responsible than me???

Blue trapeeze top, brown capris, brown flip flops.

That sounds adorable!!

I'm in limey green cargo pants that roll up into capris and button (if that makes sense?). And a brown scoop neck 3/4 sleeve shirt. And barefoot.

I was totally disappointed in Ikea. They had no desks that I liked at all. BOO. But I still ended up spending $100, of course. $50 of it on a great little table for my balcony that folds down into nothingness.

And then I went to Target and spent ANOTHER $100! Most of that on a HAMMOCK! Because I have always wanted a hammock. But can't put up the hooks for one, and don't want one of those big enormous hammock stands, because they take up so much room. And then I was wandering Target, and they had a camping hammock, that has a stand, that folds down into a carrying thing like those captain's chairs do!! I'm hoping it doesn't suck, but figuring if it does, I can surely return it. Fingers are crossed. How awesome will this be if it doesn't???

And then I went to Target and spent ANOTHER $100!

I call Target "The $100 Store" because I can't seem to manage to walk out without spending $100. As a matter of fact, I treat myself to Starbucks if I spend less than $100. Craziness.

It's true, Target is definitely a $100 store most of the time.

So tortilla chips and salsa count as breakfast/lunch, right? I realized I hadn't eaten anything yet today, and i really wasn't in the mood for hot dogs left over from the BBQ last night.

So tortilla chips and salsa count as breakfast/lunch, right?

Absolutely. I'm calling Twizzlers dinner, so why not?

I hate capris. Also, my work won't let me wear them. But what do I see in all the stores? Capris! What about skirts, people? There were skirts last year!

Brown short-sleeved tuxedo-style (ruffles!) button up shirt, jeans, green flats.

meara, look around on e-bay and Craigslist for a computer desk. I know that ChiKat first looked at Ikea for hers and was disappointed in the selection, and ended up finding a very neat 50s-era desk at one of those sites for a really reasonable price.
