car wash!

we didn't actually get a car wash, but we sure heard some kids yelling to advertise their car wash while we filled the car with gas last weekend! i caught the loudest yell-er in the reflection of my side mirror.

green mac

I finally bought a cover for my laptop keyboard -- white macbooks have a tendency to stain on the wrist rest. I found this awesome green cover at macstyles.com.Also, I couldn't resist some matching green birds.

Kinnear: my contribution

I've been trying to get a good picture of this bus for awhile now. It's a little complicated to explain. It may make a little sense if you read this blog entry by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, and then a follow-up explanation here. See also the bottom of this wikipedia page (the "pop culture references" section - "to kinnear").

Our new attraction for visitors

When Jason saw that I finally broke down and bought a coffeemaker, he said, "Call your parents and my mom, I think they'll all come visit immediately." Turns out? Two of five parents have plans to come visit very soon. Coincidence? And hey you other three? Have we drawn you in yet? You won't have to run down the street anymore for coffee!

dress in a window

The floral pattern on this dress (from the window of a fancy bridal designer near the building where I work) reminded me of sheets and bedspreads we had around the house growing up. It's funny to think of someone wearing it at a wedding.
