So, hi.
I am good at disappearing. Truth is, I don’t have a lot of time in my life for blogging at the moment. I guess I’ll just have to fix that. Been working on a self-schedule that has, honestly, been impossible to stick with. I’m so burnt out intellectually by the end of the day that, unless propelled by many coffees, usually means I’m sleeping within two hours of getting home. I’m so cool, it hurts. All the girls wanna be like me.
And because all the girls wanna be like me, I am going to show y’all (erm, all two of y’all) some things I am obsessing over at the moment. What better way to jump into a post than blatant materialism? This is the Internet, after all.
I cave. I want a Kindle. They’re so pretty and light and convenient. This doesn’t mean, however, I am going to buy one yet. Perhaps a tablet will be available soon, which will be like Ender’s ancible and which I will find more than one use for. I also want (need) new glasses. This will help me see a potential tablet/Kindle/real book. I like seeing. It is also convenient. And a robe to lounge about looking fetching in on weekends.
Something we do actually need to think about is a rug for the living room. We got rid of an olllllllld one a few months ago, without having replaced it yet. I don’t want another Target/Ikea throwaway, so I’m saving my pennies for the one above, at Anthropologie. It’s pricey, but we both adore it, and want to make a point to stop bringing things into the house that we haven’t intentionally set our sights on & researched. Having fewer, more elegant things was something we discussed when we started looking at real estate.
Oh yeah, and there’s that. 2010 will be a big year for our little family.
Happy New Year!
he peed on my f’ing rug, man!
from the reviews that i read on the ipad, despite the unfortunate name (http://www.npr.org/blogs/alltechconsidered/2010/01/ipad_apples_way_of_reaching_ou.html), it sounds like it could be better than the kindle, simply because of its picture quality. that said, although i have a hard time reconciling it, my dad has a kindle and it really, really is cool and looks like a book. go for it!
p.s. i think the rug is lovely, and so you.
Catherine, I love reading your blog. For some reason, reading it on a day off when the sun is shining in my window makes me feel like it’s summer outside, despite all that white stuff on the ground. You’re an amazing writer, and even if I find I’m not terribly enthused by your subject matter (if that’s ever happened), I still get completely engaged thanks to your style. I hope you find the time for Noir :)
P.S. That rug is very pretty, and the robe? Super cute!
Hey, you are writing again! I love the redesign, but something about it broke my feed. Glad you’re back!
