here's my dad circa 1968
that's my big brother ross..
then i came along ..
look at those movie star good looks on dad!!!
very funny, dad...
and my intense fear of feet was born..
and i am pretty sure my sense of humor as well.
so thanks for that.
happy father's day!!
xo to you.
and also...
my baby daddy...
happy father's day to you too.
i love you.
friday is important isn't it?
it's the day before the weekend.
the day you wake up and are happy the shitty week is almost over.
i went for a 3 mile walk today in my favorite neighborhood, druid hills.
big, old mansions built in the 20's and 30's.
i have been walking in this neighborhood for nearly 10 years.
i don't live anywhere near it (i used to) but sometimes i drive over to it, park my car and get out and just go...
i realized i was pregnant with fiona on a walk in this neighborhood. as in it was may and people had fresh dirt in their gardens and all i wanted to do was eat it.
weird, i know. but also a sign of pregnancy.
i really did know in that instant that i was pregnant.
anyway...
friday!!
friday is also the day most bloggers say fuck you!!
i'm outta here!!
and i am including myself in this group this time..
but before i sign off i wanted to give you all a gift for how awesome you are to me. whether you blog or not, whether you comment or don't..
i love you all the same..
sort of like paula deen loves a butter sandwich.
my gift to you is this..
i went through some of my design books old and new and scanned some of my favorite pics.
enjoy and happy farting weekend!!
(sorry, some are more scan-a-licious than others)
could you just die??
that gambrel purple? the soft romantic dining room with the roses on the wall?
the hanging lounge pit in the fucking tropics??? adler's purple desk?
which is your fave??

erica at the really awesome funny Design Blahg is hosting a feature called "where i blahg" and yours truly is talkin shit over there today..
GO!!
hey.
check this out.
i spent the better part of 2 hours today (what does that mean? "the better part"??)
what? where am i?
seriously.
i re-wrote the lonny post i started yesterday and thanks to you guys who subscribe to my rss feed i just copy/pasted from that into a new post window. gay love.
but then i tweaked it and added more pictures and doodles.
i even drew an awesome image of my thumb doing the "thumb's up" sign.
i was all excited to share and open the lonny discussion when i went to remove an image that i wasn't feelin' and accidentally hit "cancel" and bammmm!!
that shit was gone forever.
i emailed squarespace and said please for the love of sweet christ tell me i can get that shit back!!!
they were like..
nope.
you are indeed fucked.
so...
i simply cannot do it again.
you understand.
i think we are all in agreement that lonny needs to give the bar carts, wallpapering every inch of a room, bookshelf shots and rehashing of previous issues in general a rest.
aren't we?
moving right on..
to this:
aka next project.
my fairy godmother of furniture, susie gave me this kingsize faux bamboo headboard all regency and shit.
it will be white.
aaaaaaand....
ghetto pool is back:
holla.
"i'm hoppin' mad!"
so yesterday i was working on a lonny post around the time i was also cooking dinner (fucking multitasking!!)
i hit the save button so that my halibut wouldn't overcook and went to attend to my dinner.
so i picked up my blackberry and saw that i had comments...it posted???
huh?
i still don't quite understand squarespace.
can anyone out there who uses squarespace tell me how to save a post without posting it so that i can work on it over a period of time??
i ran to my desk and had to remove the whole thing which will just delete the post.
so i have to start over.
which i will.
sorry if you're all...holy shit where did that lonny post go? this is all way too harry potter for me.
it will be back today i promise.
word.
while flipping through my world of interiors this month i saw this mother and immediately had it placed on my sun porch at my english estate...you know this one:
it comes from soane in the UK and it is so clever and cool and you don't have one so that makes me love it even more.
it also comes in different finishes like antique, light, chocolate, natural and rich (like me).
it most likely would be used as a sideboard for my weekend brunches just before the hunt.
i would style it up like this:
a piece of modern art from one of my favorite artists, ed ruscha would hang above..
or maybe a giant gilded mirror like this:
or both!!
HaHAHAAAA!!! my style is so crazy and different and i am literally a walking contradiction!!!
some accessories:
just for starters..
tally ho fart farters!
