Done with winter.
Dreaming of this….
And settling for this.
Debra Messing is back. And so returns my ridiculously, bitter hair envy. I will provide a bit of back history, so that you may fully understand this well-founded jealousy. I am a curly girl. In a world of stick straight locks, this was not always a wanted attribute. I spent the greater part of a decade battling my natural state. Blow driers, round brushes, flat brushes, hot rollers and then the flat iron. And then a long came Grace.
In 1998, Will and Grace debuted and my life changed. I loved everything about Debra Messing, most especially her hair! In a single word. Awesome. With my new love came envy. How do they get her curls to look that good? I have since been on the search of the exact cut, the right conditioner, and the the single product which will perfect my curls.
Over a decade later, Debra’s hair still rocks! Look how phenomenal she looks in Smash.
This keeps my curls soft, separated, and frizz free. All great things and it smells amazing.
Here’s to embracing what you have been given. Don’t fight it. Try to love it [whatever it is].
I seriously think Tina Fey is genius. I have previously used a passage from her book, Bossypants, as inspiration for a post. Today I return to this side splitter with a few of Tina’s ideas for carving out “me time” in your day. “Me time”? Those 5 minutes every mom is looking for to collect her thoughts, breathe deeply, and pee all by herself.
Tina advises:
I adore her take on motherhood. Hilarious, with a touch of realism and self-deprecation. She and I are kindred spirits. If only I lived in Manhattan-I do believe we could be the best of friends.

Yes. I allow my children to eat at McDonald’s. There. It’s out there.
OmG! This one is perfect. Floors that can get wet and muddy, storage for all that ‘stuff’ that comes along with a busy family, and a work station for a modern housewife. And look, a built-in for the printer and cabinets to conceal all that must be hidden.
2. a cavernous laundry room
I feel serene just looking at these shots. I picture myself standing at that table folding my family’s laundry and smiling. How could you not smile? One might actually look forward to throwing in a load of towels. [ok. that might be stretching it a bit.]
3. a welcoming entry way.
My entry/mudroom? Can’t be the mudroom because we don’t enter through the front door. Yes, we have a place to hang our ‘stuff’, but all I see is old, dated wood. An entire wall of brick and back packs that never actually make it onto the hooks.
So, I will keep dreaming, planning and picking up back packs.
For those who shop in downtown Seattle often or just every so often- the Nordstrom Rack is moving up in the world. Or at least up Pine St.
Snapped this shot in front of Westlake Center. Spring 2012 is looking brighter already!
The wait has been painful. March 25, our wait will come to an end. Need a fix to hold you over?
