The photograph of the girl "smoking" is from photographer Sally Mann... and that was her daughter with a candy cigarette. She photographed her children and just let them "be". I love it. It's beautiful.
And, love the apartment! :)

We juuust did this last night! We had an over run of movies in our tv credenza and we got a nice wallet book that goes on a shelf and got rid of all the cases. We had done this long ago with music cds I don't know why we waited so long for our movies. And, we will start putting them on hard drives for our media computer, too. Also, most of the cases are recycle-able!

I really want to share a couple websites that I now use for my own eyeglasses... www.glassyeyes.blogspot.com and www.zennioptical.com .

When I couldn't afford to buy them in the store: any store even the "cheap" glasses... I was very upset and started researching glasses online. To my surprise, yes, you caaan get good prices for them online. I also found out that eyeglasses are marked up 1000% in physical stores. Not 100%. One thousand. I was astonished and think it is really really unfortunate that people are led to believe that glasses should cost as much as they do in stores. My favorite online place is the zennioptical- their eyeglasses start out about 8 bucks and you can add anti-reflective coating or sunglass tint for another 5 bucks. I can not rave about this place enough. I walked around verbally advertising them for months when I first found them. I now have about 6 or so pairs that I can switch, and not feel devastated when something happens to them... (like your puppy chewing them...) Anyway... I don't often get the chance to tout my findings, so please pass this along to someone you know that buys glasses or needs to save some money... (which is all of us...)

I think these floors could look really cool if they were sanded and stained a warmer color. Doing that might also bring most of the tones closer together and cut down on the visual "busyness".
