my new obsession

i'm late to the party with this jam, but i can't stop dancing to "call your girlfriend," by robyn. here is a fantastic recreation of the video by snl's taran killam:

who needs pins?

this is hilarious...billed as "the best of pintrest, without having to look at the pictures," the pictureless pintrest twitter feed (@PicturelessPins), just describes what the pictures are - e.g., "adele, wrapped in a wooly blanket" - clever!

what a difference...

...a roadtrip makes. hard to believe that it's been one year since i embarked on SMurph Across America.

did a quick update on my states map - now up to 35 states (70%).

after:


although i've been to airports in colorado & kentucky and i've through delaware, i really haven't spent any time there, so not counting them yet...something to aspire to!

assuming i have any readers left out there, this little gnome is back!

i know - unacceptable that it's been two months since i've posted. but, to be fair, in that time i travelled to 7 cities in the matter of a month and had six weeks of house guests.

are those excuses accpetable enough? pretty please...?

who approved this?

a hot dog-stuffed pizza??

what more to say but who approved this?

question

now, i'm not hating - i love the jerz. but who wants to win a trip to jersey city, frommers? what kind of prize is that?

this is a bit old, but still lovely. a family in germany has been collecting eggs & decorating their tree for decades - stunning! 

why i heart the queen

not too long ago, her majesty was attending a function honoring seniors at a local county hall. in the next room, a couple were getting married - she decided to pop by and offer her congratulations. love.
