I adore rain, but it needs to be at least 15 degrees warmer to make this weather bliss.
Cold rain=sad. Warm rain=Springtime.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I must stop looking at furniture! But, I've figured out that this might be the best way to get ideas for Dad to make me things. I really like this style bookshelf/storage/tchotchke display thing (doesn't hurt that it's named after my hometown), and might be able to get Dad to make me one someday. (Edited to fix link!)

Poor Mr. Scrappy. I was hoping coumadin wouldn't show its ugly side to him.

Good news for New Yorkers in case of Rapture:
Mayor Bloomberg, his tongue planted firmly in his cheek, took to the airwaves Friday morning and addressed the highly publicized prophecy that the End of Times will begin Saturday.
"I can just tell you that official policy from the Sanitation Department and the Department of Transportation," Bloomberg said. "If the world ends tomorrow, alternate side parking will be suspended."

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
All health for Scrappy's DH!
sumi, I have a chronic-recurring problem with an ingrown. I know your pain. I'm begging my podiatrist to just completely remove the nail, bed and all, this time. Coming up pretty quick now. It's such a small thing, but it affects everything. Fast and good healing to you.
Kathy, craigslist. Seriously. I've seen so much fabulous dining furniture--top quality stuff sold for moving, or divorce, or I'm-just-tired-of-it reasons. We got our Jetsons Danish modern table and chairs off craigslist for a song. And nearly bought a federal-style set in solid cherry, with dresser and hutch, for just a bit more--nearly 50 years old and in like-new condition. The table had its original felt pad, the leaves in their own felted sacks. That set was really the better deal, but we liked the mood of the Danish set better.
I prefer things to have some patina, some history, new case pieces make me itch--tables, bookcases, dressers. I really recommend thrift, second-hand, scratch and dent stores, freecycle and craigslist as first resources.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I love your Jetsons table so much.
We have a gorgeous set of solid cherry Amish made coffee tables, that we pre-inherited from my folks when they moved to Hawaii. They continually acquire much more of a patina than I'd like, what with the teenagers in the house and whatnot, but that's okay. I really love them, though. They're beautiful and so well-made.
My folks' own furniture, also custom made but not Amish built, is not as nice.
