Design on Someone Else's Dime

So I had a store credit at Room & Board from when my couch was so severely delayed/etc. way back in Nov-Feb timeframe. Then Bunky gave me an R&B gift card for my birthday. Well I finally went and spent it this weekend with my Mom and Big Sir in tow - so it was fun to buy myself something for free. Even better when I got a floor model with very minor flaws for 20% off!

It looks awesome and is on a dimmer - tres chic!



Then since moving to SF, I've become more interested in photography. And I have had not a stitch of ANYTHING on my walls since moving in. While at R&B, I bought three basic black frames, complete with mats. I had a series of close ups I took in some lime trees at our most recent Palm Springs rental house (former home of Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis, btw!), so I had Walgreens print 'em up and hung them last night in my kitchen. If I'm not careful, my home will soon look like a bona fide adult with some semblance of good taste lives there!!




Now if I could just get Charlie to get interested in re-decorating her little boudoir.

being recognized

So my big gigantic employer recently awarded all 40K+ US employees with 4 extra days of personal time off in appreciation for good performance in our most recently closed fiscal year. YAY US!

They asked us to submit photos of what we did with our extra time off - so I submitted a few photos from my ALC6 experience and they chose one... see below!

I don't know why but I am fascinated by these new-fangled windmills:

luxury

is this shower. two sides and an overhead rain head:


not sure if the water reads in the photo - but here it is in action:


I think showering with an open door and seeing the gorgeous CA sun-filled sky has me beginning to understand outdoors nudism...

digital camera advice...

I'm in the market for a new camera. I know I want SLIM (my current one is the size of a small car) and I want highest megapixel available. Supereasy to use. I know all you bitches have 'em - tell me what you think of yours, what you love about it, what you hate about it, would you buy it again?

sunny sunday

sorry for those experiencing less-than-optimal weather. but the weather here today FUCKING RULES. Here's some shots from my roof and around my building. enjoy, bitches.










And for those who know me pretty well, you'll know this is uncommon for me, but these last few where the picture reads with the rays of sunshine? That's some higher-power shit for me. It's beautiful. SF is crazy beautiful. I'd even go so far to say a little more beautiful for having me in it. ;)
