Wednesday Thoughts

1. Erin from ANTM Cycle 13 looks like Spencer Pratt now that she has blonde hair and eyebrows.

2. My top 5 favorite main stream crackers are: (1 being the best)

1. Triscuits
2. Wasa Crispbread
3. Saltines
4. Cheez-Its
5. Ritz

Play this with your friends, it's provokes conversation and you'll learn a lot about people you've known for years.

(Colleen, you'll notice that Wheat Thins got bumped and Ritz got demoted to the 5 spot).

3. I am willing to spend 15 minutes scouring the internet for an image & name of a type of cracker, going as far as creating a Stop & Shop Peapod account because Fresh Direct and Google image search are coming back with nothing.

4. Just realized that I am so lucky to have Abe as a boyfriend because he is an instruction-reader and I hate reading instructions. He's taken over all instruction reading duties. It's amazing and luxurious.

Make Me Something Cute to Eat

This morning on the NYTimes.com site I read this little opinion article called Beauty and the Bento Box. It drove me to check out Flickr and browse photos of bento boxes - total internet eye candy.

Enid's 7th Annual Pie Bake-Off

Saturday was Enid's 7th Annual Apple Pie Bake-Off. Colleen enters every year and won Best Crust a few years ago. This year she entered with her eyes set on a big prize. After testing several practice pies I knew she had a really good chance.

There were like at least 50 pies.

There she is - Number 17 with a sprig of rosemary...

The winners are announced:

3rd Place...Number 17!!!

Congratulations, Colleen!!!!!!!!

Get a Handle On It

Um, I just went a little nuts and bought a whole bunch of vintage drawer pulls from this fantastic ETSY shop Violetteslippers. Some already have pieces of furniture assigned to them, but others will be saved for future projects.

I owe my impulse purchases to Kate over at For Me, For You.

OMG a Talking Dog!
