some thoughts

the other day i posted that i would be making these 2 ingredient brownies.

well, i did. 

here's what..

um. gross.

the recipe says to beat the eggs (4 of them) for 6-8 minutes or the brownies might be too eggy.

well, i beat them for 7 minutes thinking that that was a pretty no fail time zone.

and i'm no stranger to brownie baking so i knew what she meant.

but guess what?

eggy they were.

like, chocolate omelettes.

i threw them out.

after i ate 4.

I HAD TO DETERMINE THE TASTE IN VARYING DEGREES OF TEMPERATURE!

all degrees gross.


probably not gross no matter how you swing it..

bacon crackers.

but i thought i'd ask before i went and bought the good bacon and the fancy butter crackers..

anyone make these?

don't make me come after you debbie doo.


i have a bubble to pick with you.

done. 

 

my garden is looking good!

i have picked the basil and the dill a few times which is why they're so small.

i added cow manure. 

and always keep it mulched with hay.

peppers and tomatoes.

the ladybugs love my squash and zucchini. 

even my compost is growing vegetables. 

 

 

can we discuss the masterpiece that was this season of game of thrones?!

i haven't read the books but i seriously want to.

anyone out there read them and feel disappointed when they watch the show?

because i don't want that. 



discuss.



music monday

well.  i had some music planned.

but my computer isn't complying.

my track pad is on the fritz. AGAIN!

my cursor is involuntarily moving all over the screen.

when i tried to embed the video into my post it laughed at me. 

when i tried to write a support ticket to squarespace about it a middle finger poped up onto the sreen.

letters aren't appearing even though i KNOW i typed them (see above sentence).

 

so instead you get this..

 

because even retrograde mercury knows not to fuck with cristiano ronaldo.

mike tells me that he plays for portugal.

portugal plays today.

at noon. 

not that i googled it or anything. 


anyone else having issues with their computer?

anyone know how i can fix it?


thanks geniuses. 


go portugal.

friday list

first of all, it's FRIDAY?!!  

where has the week gone i ask?

second of all, it's friday.  the 13th.

did you even know that?!

it's also a full moon. (but it's the strawberry moon which is cute and therefore less likely to cut you)

and mercury has been retrograde since the 7th and will continue to be until the 2nd.

i had strange dreams last night and i'm not sure if it were the moon or the titanium screw in my mouth. 

yesterday i had an implant put in my mouth and that's weird to say the least.

but it means i will be a lot less georgia and a little more hollywood in a few months. 

also my computer has been acting crazy. thanks retrograde mercury!

has yours?

 

suffice it to say, you might be better off staying home today. 

 

maybe a little online shopping or tv watching?

came across this book at the bookstore the other day and thought, that name is the worst.

they might as well have named it "have some tea with your period".

but i picked it up and looked through the pages and desperately wanted my own shed.

at the very least to go to when i have my period.

everyone would be so much happier.

 

please tell me you're watching cosmos. 

please don't tell me you don't "believe" it.

as if that were even an option. 

every time i watch i'm like...question everything!

also is it weird i want to bone neil degrasse tyson?

like, an embarrassing amount of bone. 

 

someone told me about the seabuckthorn cleanser from living libations and how their skin has never looked better....i am awaiting it's arrival.

i'll let you know how it works.

i may have gone a little crazy on their site and ordered this and this too. 

 

my friend nelya alerted me to this stupidity.

looks like i know what i'll be doing this weekend. 

 

this adorable chair is $115.

someone buy it for their porch. 

or living room. 

or bedroom. 

 

i've seen a lot of tribal/suzani/ethnic cloth bags lately.

i am on board. 

these are a few of my favorites...

here, here, here, here and here.

this one is mine.. 

 

have a peaceful, safe weekend. 

i'm going to this.

come say hi. 

 

 




projects

hi. first of all let me say thanks for all the advice about being a better mom. i try. i really do.  i go to bed every single night with thoughts ranging from...i'm the worst to i hope she doesn't kill me in my sleep. 

i think we are all adjusting to summer vacation. 

being in school from 8 to 5 every day (don't worry, it's montessori, which is essentially like summer camp 24/7) around her best friends and then having to be home, with nothing to do is an adjustment.  and since when is having "nothing to do" a bad thing?!  sometimes i dream of "nothing to do". 

kids are weird. 

so, anyway..that's what i'm calling it. 

an adjustment period.  

thanks for all the book advice...my nightstand (bathroom) is loaded with them. 

 

 

moving on..

 

i am about to start on a commission based on this original stained glass window in my client's old victorian home..

 

isn't it lovely?

i'm gonna play down the pink and play up the blues and greens. 

it's going to be in the dining room and will  be the first thing you see when you walk in the house. 

 

fiona is in camp this week which means it's a work week for me..

so i am busy finishing off some commissions..

 

this one's not quiiiite finished.

 

 

ok. 

that's it.

 

i love you. 

 


getaway

i dream of a getaway house.  

one to call my own.

a just the facts kind of place.

3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. 

lots of bowls. 

and i really can't stop thinking about that lady boss's house in sag harbor.

it's perfect.

not too fussy.

not overly decorated.

 minimal but interesting, TONS of character and with the slightest hint of granny.

and plenty of bowls...

ancient floors and a pool- check check.

 


music monday

this is for mike who up until a few days ago didn't realize ig was a white girl from austrailia..

monday is a great day to work on your shiiiit.
