I'm all over the place, I tells ya. I've got a lot on my mind and plenty on my laptop. (The other night, K was walking into the room with his laptop, a gigantic Macbook Pro, I think, and he accidentally clunked me in the arm with it and, with a sudden stroke of genius, I belted out: hit me with your laptop, yeah, hit me with your laptop - hit me with your laptop, fire awaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy!)

I want, and sort of need, new eyeglasses. I haven't had my prescription checked in three years and my sunglasses prescription is even older than that. But I'm torn...

Sometimes I think this is the way to go:



and, then, yesterday, I tried on a pair of these:



and they were quite heavenly. And though I have often said that as they are on my face for 12 to 18 hours a day I'd like them to have a specific look - and though these are sort of anti-glasses, I think I love them. Funny thing, though...my local optician says that these anti-glasses are not covered by my insurance and wants many more hundreds of dollars than I am willing to spend. But, when I look on line at these glasses, they are somewhat reasonable. I'm going to check with an optician in town.

I'm slightly obsessed with luggage tags of late.



Go figure.
A good place to look at luggage tags is at pylones.com. There are lots of cute things there. In fact, it's nearly too cute for me. I don't really do cute.



A stolen shot of the very concert Middle attended last week:



he's still talking about it.

He told wonderful stories about the very last day of school, Middle did. It seemed so poignant. Toward the end of the day all of the seniors went outside to circle of grass in front of the school. The assistant principal counted down the final seconds of school with them and gave them the letters they had written to themselves in 7th grade. It chokes me up thinking about it. He took wistful-looking pictures of the crowd. (I'm going to be very sentimental at graduation on the 26th.)



Yet another freaky email from my friend Anthropologie. I own that very scarf, from that very store, but it doesn't look like that. I like her hair too. And the bird. And her posture - I LOVE HER POSTURE.



Yet another cute item.



Great business card design my brother did for me nearly four years ago. Was I able to find it when I was ORDERING business cards? NO.

Cool new thing?

A brand new thing for me to obsess over.

I'd rather light a candle than curse yer darkness. I'm watching Raising Arizona.
I'm watching Raising Arizona and I'm reading Pretty In Plaid. Hard to tell which is funnier.
