Attention anti-K-Mart Shoppers

Kate Spade is having a sample sale! And thanks to Lindsey, we can all know about it and shop (either pretend or real) to our heart's delight. It's over on the 16th so get going. Or at least email the link to significant others as a not-so-subtle Christmas hint.

Coolest Pen Evah!

So I bought 3 of these and now have officially become a pen snob. This is the Pilot Hi-Tec C pen. It's .25mm and sooooooo great to write with. It's from Japan and is hugely popular throughout Asia. They're tough to find in stores here but easy to get shipped from jpens.com.

So Red Envelope always has the coolest gifts; and thoughtful. I can name several family members and friends (virtually every woman I know) who could use this. Pop the rectangular bag in the microwave and bam! relaxation.

I figure the eye mask will help keep the room dark - which is oh so important to those of us who suffer from migraines.

Small Paul

I love Paul Frank designs. Such fun stuff. The kid stuff is way cute - check out these jammies sandbox couture...

Never fear, Super Dog is here!

So Ryan really enjoyed Halloween this year. He's always loved the trick or treating part but last year at preschool they tried to put on a little show. He freaked when he saw everyone looking at him and went and hid in the corner, crying. Thankfully, his kindergarten year has been great and there were no tears. He even marched in the parade and wore his costume at school. His favorite part of the day: trick or treating with Dad and scoring 43 pieces of candy.
