Guessing Game

A couple of days ago, Yancy and I saw this the Space Womb. We speculated about what it could be all the way home and then looked it up online, of course. But we're curious: What's your guess?

Space Womb





Searching it online is cheating. If you already know the Space Womb because you live in NYC, don't give the answer away. I'll put the answer in the comments on Saturday.

A Great New York Tradition, Part 2

A while ago, I was waiting to meet a friend for a jog and noticed this beauty in the trash pile. I hauled it upstairs, riding the elevator up with the woman who nabbed that desk chair further down the street.



Here it is in my apartment. The shelves you see reflected in the mirror is the same set you saw Yancy carrying home for me in the previous post.



The mirror had seen better days. Yancy had to use bondo to repair dents in the frame, and then painstakingly applied a metallic gold paint over the worn areas.



But now, doesn't it look beautiful? It's our best dumpster find to date. What's yours?

Revlon 5K Run (walk)

This morning I tried to run the Revlon 5K. "Tried" because the course was too crowded to run most of the time. For all the weaving we did, we may have actually ran three full miles.

Amelia are determined to run a 10k before the summer is out just so we can wear our Sparkle Skirts again.

You can see more pictures on Whitney's blog or Kristy's blog.
