When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad
-The Sound of Music
I like to make people aware of "My Favorite Things".
Friday's Faves, in no particular order:
- Hours of real estate porn on HGTV. House Hunters, My First Place, Income Property, Bang for your Buck...I can't stop watching them. Luckily, Paul also has an interest in them (not to my current psychotic degree, unfortunately) so it's not bad for him. We have rather enjoyed heckling the gross yuppies who always seem to be spouting praise for granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances and the presence of a "man-cave". It's, sadly, also gotten me into another nesting kick.
- Hipster Puppies because they are adorable and hilarious.
- The Benjamin Moore website is amazing if you're worried about painting. Their Color Viewer is kind of awesome because you can really get an idea of what will work and what won't before diving into some ridiculous project.
- Restaurant Week in Chicago! Tonight we're headed to Seasons at the Four Seasons Hotel. Wednesday night, we did dinner at The Drawing Room at Le Passage. A-MAAAA-ZING. I will say that I didn't feel like I was hip enough for the space-- cool urban lounge feel-- but everything we imbibed and consumed was delish! Their cocktails rival The Violet Hour!
- The imminent possibility that I will soon be living in a 2 television household! We've been fighting over the set upstairs every weekend lately and with all of the videogames coming out in the next few months, I guess Paulo is taking pity on me. No more timeshare tv!
