Was it good for you? Oh yeah...oh...yeah.



Just got home from the day in the city (Seattle, that is) and I miss it already. Yes, it was wonderful. And not just because it apparently became the reason for Seattlites to ditch the fleece and sandals for pashmina and heels. I'll just leave it at that. No spoilers here, just joy. Sigh.

Okay, I can't totally keep my mouth shut! But still no spoilers. I think they picked the wrong wedding dress but I'll leave that in your hands. A few fashion misses, but a lotta hits! A few minor personal criticisms...but I love the ladies more than ever! Oy...I could bust! And, really, y'all can thank the Cosmos we all had afterward (How could we not?) for making me a bit more editorially subdued. Oh yeah...the Cosmos...they were flyin'! Cheers!

(What'd you think?)

The Lab & The Lazy



Okay...I confess I am being a REALLY lazy blogger right now. But going to see "the movie" over in Seattle and gotta catch a ferry boat in, like, minutes! But here are some links to information about the evening's event from Mary and Megan. (Thanks, Ladies!) I'll be back tomorrow with some updates about what I thought and learned. One thing I learned...I have a crap camera! But it is what it is...y'know?


The delightful Mr. John Tusher starting off the evening singing "Don't Cry For Me Argentina". Ok, kidding...he's just warming up the crowd...which isn't hard to do 'cause the man's dna is just downright hospitable!


That's Erin from Apartment34 talking about the upcoming Make Mine A Million event. (The coat and her shoes? Sarah Jessica would have approved!)


The lovely and informative panel. Paola, Elaine, Mary, & Megan.
They were wonderful! (Sorry about the awkward shot, ladies.)


Megan, Mary, & Tula.
(This...being the best shot of the bunch is from Mary's camera...not mine!)

Are you freakin' kidding me?!

No...no pictures. All I can say is that I will be seeing Sex & The City today/tomorrow (whenever you may be reading this), yes...I got tickets! However, a "friend" (this is now being questioned;)) went to see Speed Racer tonight...SPEED RACER!?...and managed to get himself ensconced in a pre-screening of Sex & The City!!!??? One, he said the movie was AH-MAZING! Two, he had a horrible time trying to see the screen given the vast number of people in the theater...wait for it...himself and ONE other person! That's it! I am telling you if they'd been giving away free shoes...bitch'd be dead now.

(Yeah, so a late night so (blah, blah, blah) Velocity Lab post tomorrow. Sorry, Kids. Sorry, John Tusher. Sorry, Sarah Jessica Parker.)

Secret Garden



Just some morning photos in my back garden. The yellow climbing rose above is my absolute favorite. Just little clustered bouquets of sunshine (on a not so sunny day).

This little piggy...



For a long time I really had issues with feet. I know some people have great admiration for them but I, for one, have always been a much stronger advocate for shoes. And while I've eased up quite a bit, baby feet were always an exception.

Kendall and I went to visit our friends, Dave & Alison this past Saturday who are the freshly proud parents of twin boys! Holy crap...they're adorable! (And thank goodness! Because it's never a truly comfortable moment, when seeing a baby or babies for the first time, and having to comment immediately on the outfit to avoid incrimination!) But not one to be presumptuous enough to post someone's children...I figured the feet couldn't hurt. They just make my heart ache!

Congratulations, Dave & Alison! You're going to be amazing parents! I on the other hand will be vying for the position of most embarrassing Uncle to have around ;) ! (I know...not hard, huh?)

Ladies...for those of you who are helping to raise the future generations... it may not be easy, but it is both important and very much appreciated. So a very "Happy Mother's Day" to you all! (Thanks, Mom! I love ya'!)
