I realized, after I left, that I didn’t put up any kind of we’re-going-on-vacation hiatus notice. Sorry about that. Anyway, we’re back from our whirl-wind trip on the West Coast and I’m still so freakin’ tired… but in the best way possible! Pictures and more details coming soon!

The move, yesterday, went surprisingly smooth and we are both so excited about our new place! I’m most excited about decorating, arranging and being able to have company over.
This article seems extremely useful. I’m looking forward to applying it!
A number of years ago a friend gave us a great tip that to this day has made picture hanging a simple, pleasurable task. The tip was to always hang your art at 57″ on center. “On center” means that the middle of the picture is at 57″ (obviously, the hook will be higher).
Interestingly, the 57″ standard represents the average human eye-height and is regularly used as a standard in many galleries and museums…

Finally caught the first episode for Project Runway’s fifth season and this dress, by Kenley, was, hands-down, my favorite. The color, the pattern, the cut, the silhouette, perfect! I would buy and wear this today! I can’t believe it didn’t win. For shame, judges, for shame!

Finally got over my laziness and got my pictures off my camera from this weekend. We took two tours: One was a ferry tour around Manhattan Island, which, although it took three hours and my face was burning by the end, was a really interesting trip. Did you know there are completely undeveloped areas of forest at the Northernmost tip? I didn’t! Second was a fantastic walking tour through the Chelsea Market and Meatpacking District. I do love it when people come and visit!
Oh, and as a restaurant recommendation, check out Le Bonne Soupe. Awesome little French place!

Ooooo, fun stuff… and they’re launching it on my birthday!
Kidrobot just announced a jewelry collaboration with designer Tarina Tarantino. The goods will debut in Kidrobot and Tarina Tarantino’s Soho stores on July 30 and range from $65 to $975. We couldn’t think of a more fitting designer for Kidrobot to make jewelry with. Tarantino has designed a Barbie doll and Barbie-inspired jewelry and famously gave Hello Kitty pink hair in 2002 (an image she still uses in her jewelry designs), and she’s earned a cult following with her bright, shiny creations. Not to mention she calls her L.A. headquarters “The Sparkle Factory.”

The parents have been in town and we’ve been having a great time… but more details about that latas.
Jack and I saw a very late showing of The Dark Knight Sunday night (got back to the apartment at about 4!). I could go on and on about the movie, but since I don’t want to give away anything, I’ll hold back. Twas absolutely incredible! It’s tied with Wall-E as my favorite movie of the year. Borderlining on a horror film, it was so intense, I spent half the film with my hands close to my face. OH! And there was a teaser trailer for Watchmen. I got fan-girl goosebumps all over!

Been having kind of a “meh” day. I’ve been waiting and waiting… and I really dislike waiting. I know things will turn out for the best and I’m worrying over nothing, but man do I not like to wait!
Thank heavens for classic Disney movies!
I’d also like to give a huge HAPPY BIRTHDAY! to my mom and dad! I love you!
