care for some random?

The phrase cheese curds pops up from time to time on the internet. And I remember someone saying that they squeak when you eat them? I know what they are. And I've seen photographs.
But - I'm still not getting it.

rat man

This rat guy is pointing the way! to the cheese curds.

curds

see? the photo does nothing to help.

Somehow, whilst searching for a pic of curds, I came across this ad for the largest selection of Lazytown merchandise.

Lazytown. I have no idea where or what it is, but I am definitely lookng into real estate there.

Did I ever tell you that I love this stitch?

favorite stitch

I do. I love it. I want to stitch it all over, wait, not all over - just along the edges of everything.

This is my favorite aisle at Whole Foods.

bottles wf

I know - you're shocked.
And look what I spied...

personal scents

I have always wanted a set of reed diffusers - but they are so so so much money.
These were $15, I think...so I may be able to try them sometime. Kind of silly to call them Personal Scents though as I would assume one scents a room with them and not one's person.

Glads aren't scented, sadly...

but they're awfully cheap right now.

Does anyone know anything about the Travel Channel Jeremy Piven program?

piven

I like Jeremy Piven very much - and I don't mean the adolescent film Jeremy Piven, I mean the sensitive funny guy who looks cute in those jackets Jeremy Piven. And while I, personally, would never travel to a hot, dusty place to be a Buddhist, I would WATCH the jacketed/pashmina-ed Jeremy Piven do so. Anyone got a tape?

No. My idea of travel is something more like this -

paris hotel

Those eyeglasses? Are my other, non-architectural ones.

Finally -
I was trawling around the Anthropologie site when I spied this:

parasol

It's even better in situ.

see?

And how's about this dress?
And this photo of this dress...
sigh...a dress

I like the dress a lot.
And the picture is perfect for a caption contest -
give it a whirl.

I'll fight you for that umbrella. It is a SIN that we don't have Anthropologie here.

Amelie was always dressed to the nines, even while gigging frogs on the bayou.

How'd I do?

Lazytown is a scary show on PBS Kids or Noggin or one of those. I came across it yesterday and it's scarred me for life.

"My kingdom for a can of mosquito repellent."

PS. You have to see Lazytown once to see the incredible guy who is the main attraction. He's in his 50's and bounces around like a teenager. Amazing.

The parasol is gorgeous. Reminds me of the one from Enchanted April.

Look at me, I am thin and beautiful and look good in everything I put on my thin and beautiful body. Yet I chose to wear this fancy dress to the swamp. Just to rub it in.

lazytown is creepy. i have a 3-year-old girl and she screams like she's being eaten whenever ads for it flash by. it's on noggin. it's a close relative to doodlebops on disney.

Lazytown? It's made Reykjavik Iceland famous. Sort of. The main star, who is from Iceland, is the creator and gymnast actor. It's weird, but the boys used to like it. It advocates exercise and eating good food for energy.

I love the blanket stitch, too. And that aisle at Whole Foods? It is so fun. I want everything, of course. Except Patchouli - Ew. My favorite aisle is the DELI COUNTER - instant gratification. Or maybe the chocolate brick section. Hmmm, possibly the cheeses.

I have never heard of Jeremy Piven but will give him a go.

And you know what blog I am totally loving that you led me to? Poco-Cocoa

How are the signs coming for the returning animals? And what wonderful news did you hear today from camp?

If you care, seeing as I am several days late - my show and tell is up.

Just when I thought we couldn't like more of the same damn stuff, the Jeremy Priven and cheese curds enter the picture. Are you watching over my shoulder?

Okay, have you seen the recent press on Jeremy and Lindsay? Yea, that Lindsay of the Lohan persuasion. No? Good. I'm glad I'm the only idiot who reads Superficial, Perez and Oh No!

I saw that series and fell instantly in love with that man. Could it have been my already existent fetish for all things Indian? Continental Indian that is. Or is it his incredibly cute demeanor...who knows?
Love the umbrella. In fact, I have seen not a few women sporting the Michael Jackson umbrella shade look this summer. It must be hip.
still laughing, you do it too me nearly every time...

and for the girl who is so thin she makes the dress look fat and I envy her legs... if you going skinny dipping after this poise can I have your dress?

What Vivica could not--and never would--realize is that because her dress blended so well with the background, rescuers would never be able to find her.

I cannot believe that I am coming out of lurkdom after so long to comment on, of all things, Lazytown. But I am.

My daughters adore Lazytown. It's hypnotically strange and annoying. But my 3 year old now refers to eating apples as "getting her energy back" and actually took candy out of my husband's hands and threw it away. So I can live with it. Our Ipod contains a selection of the greatest Lazytown hits, which we listen to while we're running errands in the car. The music reminds me of ABBA but more amped up and freaky, without the catchiness.Our car is often a scary, scary place.

Anyway, I wanted to tell you how much I love this blog. It's wonderful. When I'm having a bad day, I click over here and feel instantly refreshed. I adore it.

Ok, since the edging of that frock brings to my twisted mind the credits of "The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show", how about....
