It's never the letter that you think...

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.

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.

A Great New York Tradition, Part 1

In New York City, everyone dumpster dives. This is the day Yancy and I rescued a bookshelf on our walk home from church.



Part of the issue is that few of us have cars, so what do you do when you move? You haul your old stuff to the curb and hope it doesn't rain before someone comes along to take it home. The trash pile is a community garage sale, and everything is free.

I'd wager that 90 percent of the furniture out here comes from Ikea or is second hand. Our living room, for example:

Finally saw an episode of MacGyver

I watched an episode of "MacGyver" for the first time this weekend, and all I can say is, "Seriously?"

It's like "Days of our Lives" meets "Man vs. Wild."

A pine cone land mine disabling a jeep? Maybe I've lived in NYC too long, but I don't think so.

I am sincerely asking, since I know so many people love this show, Why? What was so awesome? I just don't see it.

Subtle is fun

I wanted to let people know I was back from my lunch break. Next thing I know...
