Slurp.
I’d love to get my hands on a copy of Paul Lowe’s (of Sweet Paul fame) Slurp: Drinks and Light Fare, All Day, All Night. Full of recipes for both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages as well as suggested pairings to munch on while sipping away. The book covers all three daily meals and even hangover remedies for the day after you use the book! Nice touch.

The Daily Eat: Fried Apple Pies.
Fried pies are a big deal here in Oklahoma for some reason. Probably because they’re delicious and one glance their way can clog an artery or two. Here’s an apple version for those of you brave enough to try them out!

Wood Veneer Napkin Rings.
Designer Sarah Finn takes the thinnest of veneers, and laser cuts them into two distinctive patterns for these incredible napkin rings – one with stars and the other with small “s” incisions. Each pattern is available in two different woods – a reddish mahogany and a white maple. They come in sets of six, flat-packed because you bend them into shape yourself. (If you look close enough you can see the little tabs…)

Monday Goodness: Carpe Diem.
At least this is the motto I’m going to attempt to work with throughout another week of work craziness.
PS: Happy Belated Mother’s Day to all you mommas out there!

Happy Weekend.
This week has been crazy, but I think I’m beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel – both with work and the mono. I wish my weekend were filled with a backyard soiree like this one, but it isn’t. My plans do include shopping with a friend tomorrow afternoon, house hunting and enjoying the beautiful weather. Not bad by any standards!
Happy Weekend!

Let Them Eat Cake.
After reading Marie Antoinette: The Journey I know that M.A. never really said “Let them eat cake.” But a girl can go on hoping and at least framing and hanging this lovely print in her own Versailles.

Post-it Sheer Colors.
I have a *slight* obsession with office products, so when I saw these Post-it Sheer Colors this morning I flipped. Genius way to improve and expand the market of these indispensable office supplies. If they had been around when I was in college I would have gotten a lot more moola back on my re-sales at the end of the semester!

Like a School Girl.
That’s how I feel this afternoon. Like I’m back in (public, not catholic) high school watching the clock slowly make its rotation and waiting for the final bell. I’m busy, but these past few hours have been creeping by!
