Extreme Standing Mat. I used them when I had to stand long periods of time checking in books at the library.

"Braun" is not "brown", it is "brawn". Trust me, I'm German.

Who has the gender issues, you or the roommate? It's not the flowers, that's for certain.

I take coffee cans and decoupage them with celebrity images (sounds corny, but it is really is an homage) to make piggy banks. Here is a Morrissey example:

NO! When I sit on a folding chair I want to SEE how it works so I can not make a fool of myself by misjudging where the weight should go. Definite no.

@ MrsMack: got to a vacuum store and ask for help. They usually do repairs and such.

I'm sewing quilted pillows for everyone this year. On my list? That's what you're getting!


What is Your Holiday Gift Giving Style?

I have orange muppet colored WTW in my rental living room. It is (closet aside) the only carpeting in my home. I have picked up on the orange tones in a jute area rug with other earth tones, which link to the brown leather of my furniture. I also have a tabby cat that matches my living room decor to a T. She's the perfect accessory because she looks great no matter where she ends up-- carpet, rug, couch, chair.

This has been my biggest decorating challenge as it is truly hideous but I feel like I've come to terms with it and accept it since I can't pull it out. The rest of my apartment has painted wood floors.

Love orange, cannot accept that it is a "neutral".

I have a failure to appreciate.


The Royal Monceau Hotel in Paris
What's Up !

I have:

- a bowl for keys at the front door
- hooks for hats at the front door
- an inbox for mail on my desk; it gets sorted into "keep" and "recycle" as it comes in
- hooks in the nook near the bathroom for coats

The coat hooks were pre-existing in my apartment and solve the problem of not having a coat closet. Since there are only 2, only current coats hang there.

It looks like I already have a divide-and-conquer system in place!
