happy easter!

speaking of eyepatches...

nice spot by my sister of this bizarro ad.

my brother-in-law wanted to know how she could tell the time. my sister pointed out that IT'S A MAN, BABY!

(thanks, murphdawg20!)

my new obsession

i am totally digging these ball-shaped yellow flowers. this is the 2nd bouquet this week that i've seen using them. so fun and sunshiney!

update: they are "Craspedia" aka "Billy Balls"

who knew?

that "chunk" of goonies fame was now a very successful entertainment lawyer? wonder if he does the truffle shuffle after he wins a case?

good advice

goodbye, old friend

to my dear, LG Chocolate:

you will be missed.

all of those wonderful cameraphone pix we've snapped over the years, predictive texts on a standard phone keypad, that time in my pocket when you downloaded a few eminem tracks...

we had some good times, didn't we?

all the best in phone heaven,

bizarro gnome

my new obsession

i did it...broke down and got me a big girl phone! officially obsessed.

oh, wills & kate

the royal wedding is just days away! plenty of time to play with your william & kate paper dools. poor william looks like he's aged to his late forties. and kate looks about seventeen.

who knew?

that my local pet store on first avenue...in manhattan...carries shampoo for "your horse"...because there are so many of dirty ones hanging around the upper east side. bizarro.

now this is more like it

i think common sense would argue that there really is no such thing as a "flexitarian" - either you eat meat or you don't in my book. that said, i do think i'd be very successful as a "part-time vegan," no?

the royal jelly bean!

what two things are taking place this month? why, easter *and* the royal wedding.

so amazing to see that a gentleman in the UK has discovered the perfect merging of the two...a jelly bean with the likeness of kate middleton:

"As Jessica opened the jar, I saw her immediately. She was literally lying there staring back at me."

literally? oh, those crazy brits.

peep! peep!

speaking of easter confectionary, i love me some peeps. especially after i poke a few holes into pack and let them get ever the slightest bit stale.

check out the winners of the annual "peeps show" contest:

chilean mine peeps

tsa peeps

peeps + crafternoons?! heaven.

who approved this? (fromage edition)

speaking of those crazy brits, "high heels" made of local cheddar and bread? i realize that this was probably for a county fair or something, but who approved this, UK?

springy!

it may be april showers in nyc this week, but at least spring has sprung!

good advice?

i may have posted this before, but this made me smile, as motivation goes:

oh, tooootie!

the facts of life gals recently reunited. normally, i say "age is not kind," but those gals are hangin' tough!

who approved this? (coronary edition)

oh, BK. the "meat monster," really? two burgers *and* a chicken patty? and cheese & bacon to boot? who approved this 1,160 calorie monstrosity?!

success!

but by the grace of god and my own two feet, i somehow managed to complete a 5K last week - crazy! here's hoping i keep up this year of fitness...

my new obsession

can't say i'm a superfan, but i've never minded the foo fighters. caught one of their earliest shows at the now defunct "academy" here in new york, back in 1995(!).

that said, i'm really digging this jam off their new album released this week:

vote for...satan?

i'm not one for politics, but great find by TFAAF frequent reader SRB:

who knew?

as i prepare for my roadtrip and plot my route, it made me laugh when i came across this:

turns out - it would've cost the fresh price $8K for his taxi ride from west philadelphia to bel air. who knew?

believe it or not...

(thanks, JS for the reminder of this clip!)

i scream, you scream

this week's sweet treat is homemade creamsicle ice cream...delish, if i do say so myself!

april fools!

march, you will not be missed...!
