What Should I Be for Halloween?

I think I've found my answer.

Bathroom Humor

So I'm a little ways through Russell Baker's memoir, Growing Up, and I stumbled across a description of his experience with a rare and delightful wonder--taking a dump inside. 

Check.it.out.

"At the top of the stairs lay the miracle of plumbing. Shutting the door to be absolutely alone with it, I ran my fingers along the smooth enamel of the bathtub and glistening facet handles of the sink. The white majesty of the toilet bowl, through which gallons of water could be sent rushing by the slightest touch of a silvery level, filled me with envy. A roll of delicate paper was placed beside it. Here was luxury almost too rich to be borne by anyone whose idea of fancy toiletry was Uncle Irvey's two-hole privy and a Montgomery War catalog.

After gazing upon it as long as I dared without risking interruption by a search party, I pushed the lever and savored the supreme moment when thundering waters emptied into the bowl and vanished with a mighty gurgle."

So, in honor(?) of this passage, I thought I'd post some delicious examples of indoor plumbing that I certainly wouldn't mind having in my house. If I had a house. Anyway.

Toot-a-loo!

North Cack-a-lacky, How I Love Thee

Sigh. Yesterday I got back from a deliciously relaxing (I'M JUST TRYING TO RELAX!!!!!!!!!!) weekend at the beach with part of one of my favorite families...das Parrishes. After a long and uneventful drive on Friday night we made it and were greeted at the door by the one and only fabulous Grandmommy...and a table full of food. Dream come true? Obviously.

Although my stomach/intestines may never be the same, it was a great weekend with perfect weather, full of food, ocean, hot tubs, reading, and Scrabble dominations. Muahaha. 

 .

Corolla in the fall = deserted oceanfront heaven.

View from the balcony.

I see seashells on the seashore? PS. We (Cody) found a Conch shell!! So excited!

Humble abode.

We also found Horseshoe crabs. Lots of them. And skates.

Here's my weekend house.

This is where I live every other day. For-evah.

The guest quarters.

We visited a lighthouse!

Chillaxed in rocking chairs.

Walked through nature.

And visited a wetland!

We supported local commerce by purchasing awesome mood rings! Non-adjustable at that!

Took paparazzi pics of the infamous G-Mommy/G-Daddy duo.

And spent a few glorious days being ourselves.

.

.

Hi ho, Hi ho. Back to work/school we go. Blah.

Happy Tuesday!



Oh My My, OBX!

Headed to Corolla, North Carolina, for a long weekend of resting, gorging, and scrabble-playing. So pumped! The weather is gorgeous, the leaves are changing, and The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao is rocking my world. Have a fabulous Friday and an awesome getaway weekend lovers!!

Whilst Working...

...I ran into these delicious images of some pretty sweet desks.
If only my cubicle could rival these bad boys...

.

Secret armoire desk. Top notch, especially the orange phone. Ring-a-ding brilliant.

. 

 .

Love the wallpaper. Love the round mirror. Love the turquoise accent pieces and the little baby second shelf on the left.

Hate the weird cone statue thing. wtf?

.

 .

Pink inspiration board of goodness. And I spy a horse photo. Bonus points!

.

 .

This weeping willow thing would sit on my desk and delight my senses till death.

.

.

I think I really just like the painted white floors here. Yum.

.

 .

Cultured British map? Check. Spindly white chair? Check and check.

.

 .

Sooo much going on...but I love it. LIVE WHAT YOU LOVE, duh. Plus, the pillows/lamp/chair are amazeballs.

.

 .

I'm becoming a tiny bit obsessed with random collections of framed things. I especially love the fish in this one. And the bust. And of course, I lovvveeee the flowers and blue vase. Perfecto!

.

 .

Aaaaand this is what my chair will look like. Classy with a capital C.

.

.

But really, truly, this is where I wish my office was. Swinging in the trees. Lovelovelovelovelovelovelove.

Humptidy Dump Day...T-2.5 days till Codiak lovin' and the beach weekend....!

If I Had A Million Dollars

Well, let's face it--I'd probably buy something else. But look what I just found!
.

Le Tiny House. Sigh.

.

.

You're welcome for picking this paint color.

.

.

Tiny kitchen!

.

Granny Smith bedroom.

Anyway.
