my couch is too comfy, and i lose focus if i sit on it. i've been trying to do my grad school readings there, but i usually just fall asleep. all work is done in the office (and having a desktop there helps). although since i spend so much time doing work (such is the life of the grad student) i barely spend any time in my bedroom, which is one of the largest, nicest and comfiest parts of the house! go figure

i would love to Live Bourdain! let's get on it!

i have the peek a boo cat toy thing, and i hate to say it but my girls don't care about it at ALL. they enjoy the balls that came with it, but not in conjunction with the toy. i think i'm going to try that string thing that hangs from the doorknob and see how they like that.

i've been using the clevercat for a while and i LOVE it-- i have 2, one for each cat. it keeps the litter tracking to a minimum, they can't throw litter out of the box when they dig.
i used to use The World's Best cat litter and while i liked it, it didn't clump very well, was sticky, and tracked EVERYWHERE! the tracking was really a problem for me. then my cats got coccidia, so i switched to tidy cats multiple cat and that works well to mask the smell. i'm interested in maybe switching to the crystals-- are they about as cheap as tidy cats? do most cats seem to like them? anything else to add that might induce me to switch?

i adore it-- please tell me what that paint color is on the lower half of the walls! (the gray). it's GORGEOUS! i want my bedroom to be that color

this sounds like an ideal wedding-- personalized, special, and with the focus more on the people there and the bride and groom than the $$! congratulations to the bride and groom!

bepsf, that is a good suggestion. i don't, personally, have any collections but i do own this toaster and since someone recently got me a gorgeous, new toaster oven, Hello Kitty is going bye-bye.
however, palmetto, your judgement on what is a good or worthy collection isn't necessary. i think the point of this post is that no one wants to end up where their collection has taken over their entire house/life, no matter what it is.

i've had this for years and it always makes me smile! one thing to note: if your door is very heavy (like ours is), it will wear it down pretty quickly.

i adore it-- please tell us the paint color! i must have it! :)

i sanded and painted some furniture, but that's so easy it barely qualifies as a DIY, no? i'm reupholstering a 1969 desk chair but since it all comes apart and screws together again i don't think thats too hard. if it involves only a few tools and is quite simple, count me in. if it takes longer than a day or a few hours, no way.
