When Brenda and Bug arrived this afternoon, they went straight outside and formed their own biker chick gang, riding up and down and around and around the patio.

Yesterday I entered the house from a grocery shopping trip, laden down with bags in my arms, with just one finger free, and that was only when I showed my extreme strength by lifting my arm, with about 7 plastic bags hanging off it, adding 50 pounds to the weight and cutting off my circulation... to disarm the security pad of our alarm system. And did I mind? Nope. Not a bit. I love having a security system! When it comes to home security I'm a huge proponent of having one. The first 8 yearsOut With The Old
2008 was a year of many projects here in our home. In addition to my Greatest Hits of 2008 post that includes the articles from last year that received the most traffic and a list of my five favorite articles, I thought it would be fun to post a recap of a year of projects here. My absolute favorite project for the year is our new patio, painted patio set and the pergola is finished! We also did a little makeover in our daughter’s room, including a cute little lamp makeover and some Heller Reigns as a Modern Furniture Icon
Being a collector modern furniture is not always as expensive or laborsome as you might think. The Bellini line of chic designed modern furniture was one of the first to be an offered product by Heller Inc. in 1998. Realizing that the public appreciated good art, good design, industrial production and reasonable prices, this company made it their business to find the best designers to work closely with in order to execute this goal. Today, Heller is a leader in designer furniture, adding famousIntruder alert!
Recently, my wife's cousin Patricia and her husband Dave were doing their Christmas routine and left the garage door (the one into the house) open for a few minutes. In that time, an intruder entered the house and hid away. Later, their animals would alert them to this intruder, and Patricia caught it on video. The intruder show itself: The intruder things twice: The intruder is thirsty: The intruder is a wild ermine. This is not a pet ferret that got out of its cage. It's a reDog day afternoon
If today is a sample of 2009, I like it already. I woke up, promptly broke my New Year’s resolution to do yoga first thing in the morning (maybe bedtime is better), played a little fetch with Harper and Twyla, and did some work on the galleys for the revision of my Mastiff book. Then we gave Harper a rare treat: a solo walk with us in Laguna Beach. I hung a clicker around my neck, stuffed a bunch of treats in my pocket, gave a couple to Bella and Twyla as solace for staying behind, and off we w336: Interfaith Heroes Month begins!

I woke up with a start as my alarm clock rang at 5.45am. It has been months since I had to be up so early to prepare breakfast and send SK to school, I'm still bleary eyed now sitting in my office. I used to enjoy this routine, I'm sure I can get used to this.The year started really well (then again, this is only the second day). Best friend and family came for lunch yesterday.

After spending one of the loveliest Christmases I can recall, the days immediately following positively flew by. All day Tuesday I thought it was Monday; and for some reason, I reasoned that New Years wouldn't arrive until the weekend. Sometime details escape me... While a few unexpected, and not entirely welcome events transpired, I thoroughly enjoyed our out-of-town trips to visit our families, and soaked up as much of the Christmas spirit as was offered from one to another.

Happy New Year December 31st, 2008 Fuad is already in bed. A combination of jet lag and recovering from a stomach bug sent him to bed a few hours ago and left me to ring in the arbitrary turning of the arbitrary western year alone. Or perhaps I’ll sleep through it too. While he was away, I put in some landscape lighting on the patio. There was no lighting back there, so this is the next best thing. I should probably hire an electrician to upgrade the electrical in our house anyway. It’s realOh-Eight Inspiration
It is almost unbelievable that another year has come and gone. And what a biggie it was. An election. A stimulus check. A recession. A Britney Spears comeback. And the sniffle-inducing loss of a few of our favorite publications (Cottage Living and O At Home to name a few). But they didn’t slip away without leaving us with some pretty amazing inspiration- so we’re honoring a few of our favorite rooms of two thousand and eight and crossing our fingers that oh-nine brings the same abundance of swoWhat’s Your Eco-Resolution?
The countdown to 2009 is literally hours away. This is the time to reflect on the year past and think about all of the cool things we can all do to make 2009 the greenest year ever? Check out these eco-resolutions from greenies all over the country: “My Eco-Resolution(s) for 2009 are to shop local and in season at my local farmers markets, to never use plastic bags, NEVER use Styrofoam cups, and try my hardest to use less paper!

There was of course one signal event in the year that draws to a close at midnight tonight: the election of Barack Obama to be President of the United States. A great deal of my own energy, and Ellie's--psychic, emotional, and otherwise--went into the effort to make this possible and, hopefully, to open the door to some radical changes in the way we humans inhabit this planet Earth. My fear is that we have already taken things too far, that the corporate, economic, military and political world |
