My fave decoration is three holiday cards from the '20s I framed in white frames.

What a great idea! I bought greeting card recreations of some local Chicago-area travel posters from the 1930s the last time I was at the Chicago History Museum, and I will eventually get them framed in some really cool way. (I've got the idea in my head that I'd love to find some cast-iron-like sculptural wall piece that has frames scattered throughout it so I can group them together, but I might have to design it myself and get it custom made, someday after I win the lottery.)

My mom is a big collector of certain things (her current collection is the Byers Carollers), so when I expressed an interest in a few Jim Shore pieces at a store we were at, she thought I'd be collecting him. Um, no, I just like what I like and I liked a few of his things. I'm not looking to Collect Jim Shore, just keep an open mind and get what I like.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I want a pregnancy buddy!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

ita, you have to get pregnant. Unless you're up for a sympathetic pregnancy, where you get all the symptoms but no baby at the end.

I want the anti-nausea tip!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I want a pregnancy buddy!

If you want to take my friend L (who you met in a bar in Michigan), you'd only have to be buddies for another week or two....

Which strikes me as all of the ick and none of the awww.

Those are lovely embroidered ornaments, Kathy.

I think I have a minor obsession with older glass ornaments because I broke so many of them as a kid, and I feel guilty about it now. I spent a year trolling Ebay to replace some funky ones from Poland that my parent's used to have.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Its boldness had obviously paid off in treats, if not cardiovascular health.

The squirrels that live near Shake Shack in Madison Sq Park are the fattest, happiest squirrels in NYC.

Congrats Kate! More Buffista babies, yay!

I kind of want a pregnancy buddy too, except that would mean getting pregnant again which ain't gonna happen.
