I have the new dream machine. I LOVE it . it's not iconic. it's not beautiful... but it's awesome.

you don't have to set the alarm everyday (when you turn it off in the morning, it is automatically set for the next day unless you disable it).

you can snooze 10,20,30,40,50 or 60 minutes just by hitting hte snooze button multiple times.
you can change the time and alarms up and down ( no having to go all the way around...)

it changes automatically for daylight savings tmie.

it was the cheapest one at walgreens and it makes me so happy! long live the dream machine!

my favorite small home saying is an Irish toast:

"May your house always be too small to hold all your friends"

I'm not too fancy. If you were going to get one type of wine glass for all options ( champagne excluded), which would be best?

I've always like an old Irish toast:
"May your home always be too small to hold all your friends."

It's what i remind myself when i'm trying to reconfigure my living room or dining room yet again to try to seat more people comfortably.

The west elm lamp is a pain. The directions cite items that aren't included in either of the three different items you have to buy separately (shade, cord and ceiling connector) and the cord is built to be a plug in, not a built in so you have to cut the cord and do wiring. not worth it!

really just these three:
Grocery Store
Great running route (i.e. green space)
Public Transit

but a bar and a restaurant are also nice to haves. and friends too.

i love reading and books and am perfectly happy grouping by color. I tend to have a visual memory of what books look like and therefore find them fairly easily.

on style #3, where you use a book shelf as a room divider, which way would the book spines face though? seems like it would look horrible in one direction.

the Vintage Holborn metal cabinet is actually $375, not $99. the other item in the listing (a wetbar) is $99.

topsheet and duvet! 1. i am cold without that extra top sheet layer. 2. i hate having to wash the duvet every week. My husband unfortunately is a duvet only man so the top sheet exists only on my side and we had to carefully choose the duvet to be easily washed (and now have a more decorative quilt on top that isn't washed)

love method, especially the bathroom cleaners! they smell so good and work too! Tried green works and don't like the smell, or that by purchasing them I'm supporting a environmentally unfriendly company. Green products come from green companies!
