i ate here. more than once.

the restaurant that was in the hotel we were staying at had this posted in it's window. i'm assuming it is the same kind of warning they have to post about artificial sweeteners like equal or whatever but it's still crazy. and clearly did not stop me from eating there a bunch of times or pouring the pink sugar into my coffee. wish me luck.

also the fact that they capitalized the first letter of each word drives me crazy!!

this picture of ashley cracks me up every time i look at it. it's a totally candid shot. the camera went off accidentally and caught this amazing moment. it's like some weird paparazzi shot. i love ashley.

a kiss farwell


BAGHDAD – On an Iraq trip shrouded in secrecy and marred by dissent, President George W. Bush on Sunday hailed progress in the war that defines his presidency and got a size-10 reminder of his unpopularity when a man hurled two shoes at him during a news conference.

"This is a farewell kiss, you dog!" shouted the protester in Arabic, later identified as Muntadar al-Zeidi, a correspondent for Al-Baghdadia television, an Iraqi-owned station based in Cairo, Egypt.

Bush ducked both shoes as they whizzed past his head and landed with a thud against the wall behind him.

bubblicious


ok this is a weird one. i am in LA right now working on our spring catalog shoot. i just got back to my hotel room and noticed a super strong shampoo or soap smell as soon as i walked in. i went to the bathroom to take my contacts out and discovered where the smell was coming from. my bathroom floor which is covered with bubbly foamy stuff. i haven't the slightest idea of what it is exactly but it is the weirdest thing i've ever come home to!!! i don't think the pictures really do the situation justice but you get the idea. so weird!

they never let me down

if you know me even a little bit, you know i'm totally into doritos. i've never met a dorito that i didn't like. tonight at wawa (yes zach and i got dinner from there) i saw there was a new collision kind is out - pizza ranch. pretty awesome. but my all time favorite will always be the guacamole doritos. even though i have made myself sick on them on more than one occasion. i tend to also do this with combos.

monkey gone to kevin

my nephew is a musical genius at age 3 (almost 3 i should say). he loves shredding on his guitar, building giant drum kits and now playing the video game rock band. his favorite song to request is this monkey's gone to heaven by the pixies, or as he calls it monkey gone to kevin.

X equals what???

i just spent a good half hour trying to work out a fairly simple algebraic question. and let me tell you my brain hurts and so does my ego. high school math wasn't THAT long ago, was it? and the kicker is that i didn't figure it out on my own. i had to ask someone over in accounting and i still only sort of understand. then i had to call zach and have him re-explain it to me. now i understand but my brain still hurts. i think i'm going to go lay down.

gee's bend quilts exibit

some friends and i went to see the gee's bends quilts exibit at the philadelphia art museum today. it was really awesome and i definitely recommend checking it out sometimes. and for those of you who are on a budget, sundays' admissions is "donate what you wish". for more information on the gee's bend quilts, go here. this exibit inspired me to finally make that quilt i've been thinking about. we'll see if i actually follow through with it!

cheese ballz!!!



someone brought in a barrel of cheese balls on friday. as of yesterday the entire thing was cleaned out. and not just by me (although i did have more than my fair share). it looks like other people in the office love these things as much as i do. once, kate's mom gave me a barrel just like this for christmas. best christmas ever. photo credit : sheena allen

ok, who drank this?

it seems like every office has some kind of food bandit. this is awesomely bizarre because someone opened sarita's drink, drank 3/4 of it and then left it in the fridge. weird. photo credit - josh lane. for other passive aggressive notes check out passiveaggressivenotes.com

new generation of t shirts


we saw this guy at the hamburger festival in hamburg pa this weekend. he's pretty much the best thing i've ever seen. there could be a real market for this type of fashion.
