(click to enlarge) Well, I’m glad to see that IKEA is socially responsible. I’d have felt bad if they had gotten an F after I went and pimped them out on my blog. You can go here and see how your favorite stores and products shake out. Got this from Janet, who’s just moved to a very socially responsible town in CA. I’m not surprised to see W@l-mart way down at the bottom of the heap. Although I feel bad cause CSP & I just went shopping at S@m’s last night. We also went to Lowe’s and picked up some crown molding for the family room (yay!!!). Then to Bruster’s for my free birthday ice cream. Finally at home we had dinner, Jon grilled burgers and tilapia(odd combo, no??) and we watched Hot Fuzz. I love British comedy and we laughed sooo hard. Course with the laughing and the accents sometimes we’d have to rewind to catch some of what they had to say.
In other news, I finally learned how to upload a photo for my blog header. Duh. Also watched Little Children the other night. Read the book a while back and while I liked it, I hated how it ended. The movie was no better.
Currently reading: Saving Fish From Drowning by Amy Tan.
Current home improvement project for me: finish painting downstairs. Pics to follow upon completion.
Seems I’m caught up in the summer duldrums (sp?) right now. It’s just too blinking hot for anything. Come on Fall!

Little Children was filmed on Matt’s parent’s block. You can see their house in one scene and the flasher’s house is the house directly across from their’s.

I hear ya on the duldrums.. I am READY for fall. The hot weather is getting to me. ( A lot like the cold in alaska used to)
I cant wait to see what your den looks like when its all done.
I love the colors yall choose.
We have Hot Fuzz on our netflix que. I was a little nervous (since my husband picked it.. all his picks are suspect Im afraid… after being subjected to “Codename the Cleaner” youd be leary too!)

I read Saving Fish From Drowning a few months ago. It was one of those books that kept me up at night reading. I think it was the feeling of dread that the author created from the very beginning which just made me feel that I had to hurry up and read what happened next. It seems like people that had read other Tan books didn’t like it as much. However, this was the first book of hers that I have read and I really liked it.
