March

And speaking of jokes, I would love to pass this one along, from one of my favorite jokester customers, as we all bid adieu to March. Not that it's really a joke, but it's sure to make you laugh.

Simple Sundays

My favorite pleasure this week that is shared universally: swapping silly jokes. I love visiting with my customers, catching up on what's going on in their lives- they're all great. But sharing jokes is the best! Have you noticed how healthy laughing hard is? It really changes your whole outlook for a long time. Here's my favorite joke- my husband told this to me years ago during his bartending days.

A string walks into a bar, sits down and tells the bartender, "I'd like a beer please." The bartender says, "I don't serve strings here!" and throws the string out into the alley. The string picks himself up, brushes himself off, unravels his top and ties a knot in it, then walks back into the bar, sits down and says calmly, "I'd like a beer please." The bartender looks at him and says, "Aren't you that string I just threw out of here?" And the string replies, (You have to say this part out loud) "Nope, I'm a frayed knot."

Tell some jokes this week!

Pecan Bars

Omgosh. These are to die for! They are hand's down the best pecan bars. Ever. BTW, Barefoot Contessa is my second favorite cooking show. She's a normal person. I like that. What I don't like is pretentious bimbos with lots of cleavage acting, well, pretentious. That's so NOT what good food is about.

Simple Sundays

I have discovered what has been mising in all the cooking shows I've watched: VERVE. I discovered this by watching "Jamie At Home" This guy seriously rocks. I refuse, yes, REFUSE, to delete any of the episodes from my TiVo! An absolute joy to watch- if you haven't seen Jamie do his thing, you must write a note to yourself to do so- soon. I have plopped down numerous times over the last few weeks I've been sick just to rewatch each episode again and again, and lose myself in the love of this art simply because of the absolute abandon with which Jamie cooks.

Keep in mind that I am still sick, and so if the above paragraph lacks any grammatical cohesion, I really don't care at this point. ;o)

My Own ReDesign

I feel so blessed! A friend of a friend is just starting up her own ReDesign Company and did my Living Room. Just take a look: http://www.aprilmoffattdesign.blogspot.com/ I love it! The photos really don't do it justice. I can't wait to get started on the other projects she suggested, and hopefully I can get her help with more!

Russia

My Sweetie has returned (and as far as blogging goes, so have I! Heehee!) Here he is in Red Square. How cool would that be?! He thought it was amazing. The bottom photo is Lenin's tomb.
