I want....

...this house in San Francisco.   

Um. Wow.  Slightly out of my price range.....hee hee.

Lovely.

Is it wrong to covet something so utilitarian?
Cause I do. I really like this vintage dish drying rack.
That is all.

City by the Bay

Did you see this photo on Black Eiffel?  I am missing San Francisco.  It has been far too long since I visited.

I am thinking a trip in late March....how does that sounds blog buddies?  Check your calendars....

Cathy - is this when you are going shopping with Eddie Ross?
Inquiring minds need to know - pronto.

Composting

Today, the city of San Francisco will require both businesses and residences to compost food scraps and biodegradable products or risk a fine for not properly sorting their garbage. While other cities require recycling service and participation, the law, which Mayor Gavin Newsom signed into effect in June, is the first nationwide to require the collection of food scraps and other compostables. Apparently, to facilitate the program, the city is offering free green compost carts to apartment buildings and businesses, as well as free kitchen pails for renters. Cathy - give us the inside scoop. How is this working for you? Do you guys now have a pail in your kitchen? What is the buzz among your friends? How is this working at Resto when they can't even handle recycling properly? I am so intrigued.

Lunch Time!

I just ate some left-overs....you know that chicken rice casserole I used to make? Yeah, I still make it. Now it does not contain condensed soup so it is "healthy"...and it generally contains a vegetable that I need to use up, last night that was broccoli. I am sort of only good at making casserole, poor Keith.

I work next to a mall. Like a really good mall with a Nordstrom, Anthro, J.Crew, All the Home Stores (RH, PB, WS, CB...etc), Kiehls, you name it we have it. It is also a lovely place to shop, outdoors...fountains...dog-friendly.This is good and bad. Good because I have always been a shopper, not only to buy things, but it clears my head....I can roam and browse and think about stuff. Bad because I go over there so much that I always catch the sale (this means I buy stuff).

Today I left with this...on sale 12.99. Cute Ikat scarf...it is sort of scratchy so I need to wash it.

Then I went to J.Crew. I put this on order in blue...like a light washed blue. I generally have a rule about paying full price at JC (only if I have a gift card), but this shirt is too good to pass up...with boyfriend jeans or white jeans, or even as a coverup..

Ok that's it. Back to the grind.....is it 5 yet? I have a happy hour to get to at the dog park :)
