i do love to travel...

oh my gosh.  i love AND kind of hate this.  i think i'm leaning towards loving loving loving.  its quirky.  i like quirky.  but its also weird.  what do you think?

it kind of makes me worried if i was sitting in it, it might close up with me inside... anyone else feeling that?  from here.

creepy AND cool?

for some reason, this staircase (and i LOVE staircases) is really freaking me out.  but, i'm drawn to it, as well.  what do you think?

its almost my birthday!!

i need to get back in to this blog!  shame on me!  it's saturday and i'm inside because the pollen is HORRIBLE outside.  so, because of this, and because its almost my birthday, and i love bright pink and cool creative apartments and whatnot, here are some cool decorations with bright pink highlights found here.  what do you think?  in both pics, the pink is what i like best and probably wouldn't do the rest!  ha!  i think i'll clean my apartment so i can take cool pictures tomorrow.

stroopwafels

i consider myself gluten free.  sure, i don't follow 100% of the time, but in general, i try very very hard to follow a gf lifestyle.  and there are very FEW things that i want to eat.  good scallion pancakes are one.  the burger bun from the gallows is another.  picco pizza crust.  and stroopwafels.  if I haven't given you some, you should definitely let me know.  we shall share some.  so when I saw this office decorated like this, I thought - that's. so. cool.  great design.  and how could you possibly work there??  you would want to stuff your face all the time.

what is a stroopwafel you ask?  Here is the def from wiki:

(English translation: syrup waffle, treacle waffle, or caramel waffle; lit "syrup waffle") is a waffle made from two thin layers of baked dough with a caramel-like syrup filling in the middle. They were first made in Gouda in the Netherlands. Large versions are sold in the streets as a snack.

you make a mug of hot tea, and then put these on top for a few minutes (resting, so they don't touch the water) and it melts the caramel inside and they are mmm mmm good.  so good.

from here.

posting this in honor of my friend, r, who headed back to the Netherlands the other day.  she is there with her baby and hubby and they are planning to leave the low country to head to cali.  good luck!

delish.  thoughts?

dancing is art, right?

I love this idea - I need to dance more.

would you do this with me?

i. must. have.

but that could be dangerous.

and when i say "have" i am referring to this:

lest you think it's just another crazy ring i want to wear on my soft, delicate fingers, tell me this does not make it perfect for me:

1. it is called "Femme fatale" ring
2. it is from 1870 - umm... VINTAGE?
3. it only cost $11,350 at an auction
4. IT SHOOTS REAL BULLETS
5. IT SHOOTS REAL BULLETS

AMAZEBALLS.

i sent this to miss molly via email and said "I think i should own this, what do you think?" and here is her response.  which is perfect.

Lol was going to say yes absolutely but then saw price, but then saw it shoots real billets and arrived back at absolutely!!!! ;-) you're worth it!
