Sippers & Skimmers

...For when you want to coordinate what's going to your head with what is already there.

When I can afford to be perching a Philip Treacy hat atop my dome, then you can bet your ass that the blood orange wedge on my cocktail will be direct from the tree in Sicily. Carried the five steps by a bronzed Antonio, of course.

Valiumtine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day!

It is a big Valentine's Day in Arizona.  AZ celebrates 100 years of statehood today.  Apparently that means that our climate gets to take a day off and we are stuck with clouds, cold and drips.  It fits in well with the plans for take-out and movie watching at home with Mr. Schatze, so I won't complain.  

I hope it is a whimsical day for Joni, who won my NKOTB heart stand giveaway.  I'm going to fantasize that she is eating off of it for every meal today.  Cereal, juju hearts, the kid's leftover hot dogs--whatever trips her fancy.

Consolation prizes went out to the other giveaway entrants.  They each got a pack of NKOTB Valentine's to share with their friends and loved ones.

It made me so happy that people entered. So, so happy.

I failed to get anything in the mail for my family this year, so I hope that my sisters will accept these virtual sentiments that reflect my love for them.

I hope they can pick out which one is for whom.

Enjoy the day of love my friends.

D to the I...Distraction

My new favorite distraction is Dear Blank Please Blank.

Anyone can submit a Dear Blank letter (phrased like the one above), then everyone gets to rate them. Judge them. Laugh. Grimace. etc.

You can even purchase some of the best submissions from the Sapling Press Etsy shop. Love.

Thanks Bored Panda for turning me on to these...and making sure that my day is a little less productive. Or maybe a lot.
