BABIES!!

this is truly one of the sweetest, most wonderful documentaries I have ever seen! it's simply a candid look into the lives of four babies in four different parts of the world, from birth to age one.

in the words of daddyluv, it's like 'march of the penguins' but with babies. *single tear for the penguins*

if you're a Netflix subscriber it's available to watch instantly!

sometimes you have to let go

aren't these adorable?

these were a victoria's secret semi-annual sale steal a few seasons ago. personally I love a pink panty. and these are a sweet shade of coral, a great cut and they were $5.

but alas, in my zeal to snatch cute discount panties I didn't look at the material. these are not cotton. they're a dreadful spandex/nylon blend. wearing them means having a very hot crotch and perpetual wedgie. wearing them makes my tushie sad.

so even though they're super cute and only a few seasons old, I'm tossing out the hot wedgie drawers. there's no reason for me to even keep these around because I keep accidentally putting them on and suffering through the hot wedgie all day. it's not worth the trouble.

it's ok though, at least I know I'll never be a hoarder.

leather and steel

So I'm sitting here, taking a break from folding the mountains of laundry I've managed to do this morning, and I was feeling all accomplished. I decided to take a photo of mount laundrymore to share with y'all my great task. then I glanced down at my sexy new piece of leather and steel and decided to share that instead. ;)




many thanks to Bead Siam on Etsy for the great piece!
