While selecting which potato chips we would buy:

Me: Ooh, let's get the "Chipotle Chili Barbeque."

Thomas: But they're organic!

Me: Buying organic is a negative to you?

Urban Landscapes

London-based artist Snowden Flood created these fabulous city-scene silhouettes. My favorite is this one, titled "Motorway." I love the crisp white on pink design and there's just something about straight lines that makes me swoon.

Vintage Plastic Cups

I love to hoard things from old people, especially old people I know. I love old tea towels and whenever I use an old purse I cautiously open it to see if something special has been left inside. This cup is part of a set with both short and tall versions. I love the loosely filled sketchy crayon lines. Grandma had some rad stuff.

OK, OK, here's what I really look like when I go to Jazzercise class.

HA! But, apparently I am on the cutting edge of cool over here. Jazzercise and other aerobic workouts like it are making a resurgence and they're doing it in the mecca of all things cool, New York City. New York magazine recently ran a feature about Eighties-inspired fitness classes happening all over NYC. Author Sarah Bernard spells it out, "Just as bat-winged sweaters and pegged pants are reappearing on runways, classic cardio burns from the eighties are back in fashion, too. The primary appeal: They’re simple and they make you sweat."

And, I swear it's tons of fun to wear a purple thonged leotard.

My Wiikend

P.S. - I rearranged the living room furniture for optimal game play.
