Since I spend 9+ hours a day wasting away in a vomit-colored cubicle, I have done a great deal of blogging (browsing, not commenting). Most blogs are pretty narcissistic: "I'm a poet, mother, wife, lover of animals, and ardent liberal." A lot of blogs are celebrity driven: "Jennifer's turmoil over Brangelina's ever-growing baby bump!" And then there are the poor souls that just want to keep in touch with their family members: "Look! Chuck turned one and Mexican Hat Dancers came to serenade him! GO STAGS!"
However, if you search hard enough in the blogosphere, you'll find some gems. My gem? Design*Sponge. Man alive, this site makes me salivate with the great interior design examples, and if anyone else is bored at work (oh, you all like your jobs? Whoops.) I highly suggest this blog for window shopping. My fav is the "before and afters" and the "sneak peeks" into other rich interior designers homes.
Example #1:
Yowzaz! Ok, so this isn't the inside of a home, but I still think it's G-R-E-A-T. I'd probably offer up my first-born to own this bookstore in Denmark. I'd even break-up with Mike.. he's pretty dispensable. Example #2:
I didn't even know there was such a thing as phone-stands. Thank you Design*Sponge!!! I'm on my way to replicate this lime-green dream RIGHT NOW!!

Alright, maybe this one isn't that crazy-cool, but I had to add it for Dad. He's thinking about getting a dog but refuses my request that it be a wiener-dog. Dad, if, say, you ever change your mind, I'll certainly go to the Salve, get an old suitcase, and turn it into a doggie bed for you -- free of charge!

You all can thank me later for finding it. And for those of you who actually do things with your life and don't waste hours upon hours browsing the net -- congratulations, you're life is that much better than mine.

OK, so I haven't checked out the site yet, but I plan to. I just had to point out how you said Dad wants a dog, and on her last visit, Mom admitted she wanted a dog...does anyone else recall, "Damnit, Cali!" or "Seriously, I can't wait until that dog is gone, " or maybe, "Nora, are you sure your dog doesn't want a friend?"
Just saying.
Fun site, Lisette.
I checked "nora's home make-over"...fun to see what other's do and what would happen if you showed up at work and limed your vomit cubicle??? I dare you.
As to another dog...not even up for discussion until after a certain someone is married in July...at which point I'm going to have a bonafide "good" meltdown, enjoy my new pool..and leave thoughts of dogs for the future.
Smelly, we need more posts like this.
Btdubs, thanks to Design Sponge, I now know there's such a color as delft blue (sometimes called danish or dutch blue). It's that color from Granny's tableware. Delft blue plates a la mode.
Btdoubledubs, 9+ hours a day sitting in vomit. Gross. Probably smelly, too.
Despite the underpinning animus you display toward Brooklyn in your post, I did check out your site.
Bien!
Go Smells!
