Expedit.

• Cee-lo’s F*ck You! Video. The song, of course, is catchy and the lyrics are well written and funny; the reason I am putting it on my TiLT: holy shit-that typography/video is BRILLIANT.
• Building our giant IKEA expedit! (see dark super-classy iphone pic left) Well. Not the actual building part but the having a bookcase part. We got rid of our giant (very old & not particularly well-made) bookcases before we left Chicago because I didn’t feel like they would survive the cross-country move.
• My cat curling up on my lap as I work on this post. Menace: you are so nice & warm!
• [Why bitches be crazy?] That isn’t the actual title of the article (just the one I gave it!); it’s actually a really interesting and easily digestible science of why women really are wired differently than their male counterparts.
• One of the best compliments I have ever received: “I mean, compared to some of the other women we know, you’re a vulcan.”
• Oww! I stubbed my face! I have totally done this. Which is why there is a scar in my eyebrow. How graceful.
• Patternmashing. Today’s selection is black and white polka dots with black and white zebra print. Clash ‘n’ match, yo!
• Planning my teeny trip to Seattle. Airplane tickets have been purchased and I’ve procured a ride from the airport from one of my dear ex-Chicago friend who lives in Seattle now and has a 1+ year old (I haven’t seen her in 2-3 years). Majority of the weekend is going to be spent in the company of my friend Jenny, who has been one of my best friends since high school. I haven’t seen her in a year and a half and am super excited to bounce around Seattle with her (where she has been living since 2007 when I flew out from Chicago and we drove up the west coast from San Diego to the Seattle/Tacoma airport over a Labor Day weekend). I can’t decide if the weekend will be epic or legendary.

How’s about you? What’s putting a smile on your face this week? Tell me all about it!
