Today...

• our server and internet were both down for the first 3 hours of work this craptastic morning.
• one of my favorite New Yorkers comes to visit for a few days and I get to see her tonight! Looking forward to dinner and drinks with Em.
  
• and last but not least, Austin's population just got a little higher today, since Patrick's sister, our brother-in-law and their adorable little one are in the midst of moving back to the little blue oasis in Texas.

Chair of My Heritage

After finding out about a little resale shop called Homegirls in Apartment Therapy, Patrick and I spent a Saturday afternoon browsing different shops down Burnet. But we just couldn't stop thinking/talking/lusting after this little "mid-century modern, Danish" chair. We even put it on hold to dream about it for the night. But we knew (Patrick convinced me) that it belonged in our home. And I think the kitties are quite convinced as well.

Confession

I have a confession to make...I am now a Crocs wearer. Now, I was never a huge fan of the original Crocs style....they're ok, really cute on little kids but when they get big for grown ups, not really my style. But I always heard the raves on how comfortable they were and every time I tried them on, I knew it was true but just couldn't bring myself to actually buy them. Then I saw these:

and I wear them all the time and I wore them all over fashion central L.A. and nobody gave me dirty looks. Patrick thinks they are still hideous, but I've gotten so many compliments on them, so maybe he just doesn't know how cool his wife really is.
