What if I'm not having a clambake, ever?

I really, really, really want to buy these, but I have no idea what to do with them.





CLAMBAKE COLANDERS
Large Colander $45.00 Mini-Colanders, Set of 6 $75.00


I just love these gorgeous little holed-cups of juicy color. They're tiny and playful. But seriously...who really needs itty-bitty colanders??? If I bought these my husband would freak out. We would have no place to store them. We don't even have enough places to store our dish collections. Not to mention that we still have unused wedding gifts still being stored at his parents' house - we got married over three years ago.

If anyone reading this post can come up with another use for these things, maybe I can purchase them!!! (I can't even think of anyone I know getting married who could use these.)

I just want to buy them. Eeek!

One More Reason to Not Like Texas

First of all...Red State. Then there was the Texas Board of Education's ruling to change the wording in all of their school's text books where marriage was mentioned in order to clarify that it was a union between a man and a woman -- leaving out gay/lesbian marriages.

And now this...Cheerleaders can't even do what they do best??? What is this world coming to? It's just ridiculous.

Did the Housing Prices Drop Yet?

I have a "lovely" commute from South Pasadena to Venice. This afternoon just after 4:00 p.m. there was a 3.4 earthquake about 4 mi. west off the coast from Manhattan Beach. Man, did we ever feel it here! Shortly after it was over, I popped my head outside my office and said, "I think the housing prices just finally dropped!" I got a few good chuckles.



See the larger blue box just to the right of the Catalina islands??? That's it!

Belated New Year Greetings

Goodness gracious. Okay, so it's been AGES since my last posting. Lots had gone on the last three months of 2004. I could sit here and topline each month, but I'm just not in the mood to do so. Instead, I'll just talk about a few of the things that have happened so far in 2005.

• One of our friend's got laid-off for the eight-bazillionth time AGAIN. He just has the worst luck with jobs, AND women. Coincidentally, he and his 2nd wife are trying to divorce amicably. Is it bad to say I never really warmed-up to her in the first place?
• I FINALLY had my first review with my boss in January - two months past my 1 year mark. It went well.
• Work-work-work-work! I've been incredibly busy with work. I know have weekly meetings that take place at 8:00 a.m. on Wednesdays and 9:00 a.m. on Thursdays. I usually call-in from my car while on the way to work. Just craziness.
• Went to my crazy cousin's (one of many) wedding in Chandler, AZ. Saw lots of other relatives that I haven't seen in ages. My husband had a horrible headache the whole time. *gasp*
• Wonderful news, my husband got a permanent gig. The place he's been freelancing at since last October offered him a full-time position. Lucky for us, this stability will help us buy a house this year because....
• We got SCREWED by the tax man! We owe. We need a write-off that doesn't require a 9-month gestational period (or food, clothes, shelter, and requiring me to gain more weight that I have already gained w/in the past year).

Other than that...things are grand.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
