I know you....

Spotted on Erie Basin....

Kinda reminds me of this little diddy...

I know it's a little out of focus but this belonged to a great great aunt. After my grandmother passed away I thought I would get it. Alas my aunt has and isn't giving it to me until she dies. It's an Irish thing I guess. Also my nails NEVER look this good. It must be winter and post sailing season. Any who... Happy Weekend! Casey and I have an Indian wedding in Cincy! Who knows maybe I will be rocking a Sari!

Argh.

I am mildly obsessed with Mad Men, as most people who watch are. I love the cliff hangers from episode to episode and can't wait for a new season to start. However, I am down right P.O.'d about the conclusion of this past season. My outrage stems from the scene depicted in the image above. Usually I am a sucker for a good engagement scene and diamond ring. This time I could barely watch. Don Draper, WHY? Megan, really? So cliche! It was Anna's ring dammit! Alright I am done. The ring was pretty very antique. I am now going to Erie Basin to see if I can find something similar. Thanks for reading the rant. I will likely have a countdown widget on the blog when hear when season 5 starts.

Oh Wow, it's been a WHILE

Sorry for the delay. So much has happened since my last post! I am inspired to write today because I had an oddly flattering occurrence happen. A boyfriend of one of my friends bought her these earrings and the fabulous tribal necklace. He emailed me yesterday to say that my poor friends apartment was broken into and the only thing they took were these earrings! While it's terrible dear Jeannine's earrings were stolen and her apartment was broken into- I feel a little flattered. Don't worry Jeannine, I will happily replace your earrings! Kind of hilarious that these bad boys might be sitting in a NYC pawn shop some where.

That's all for now. More posts soon!

Sailing!

Wednesday night sail boat racing has a special place in my heart. I have been doing Wednesday series since I was 7 or 8 maybe younger. I love that I can live in a city where sailing is so readily accessible.

Tonight I am going out to get my fix and have some drinks and good conversation after. I love/ am obsessed with this poster from Brainstorm Print and Design. Special thanks to Abbey I just discovered her blog and now I am behind schedule for the day - totally worth it!

ps. hope Casey and Dave can make it out tonight too and the rain holds off!

ReOrganization

I am in the midst of a move. Moving has got to be the biggest pain in the booty. Fortunately, so far it's going pretty smoothly. I am gradually moving things from Casey's apt and my former apt into our new apt. While Casey thinks I am crazy for moving things in waves, I am stoked that as each box or reusable bag goes in everything gets organized and placed. The idea being once our bigger furniture makes it in, we will easily be settle into our new space. I think this amazing bean bag chair hairy extravaganza would look amazing next to a gray couch and a Kelly green ottoman. Alas, pardon my absence while I play Sally home maker. Stay tuned to this blog for some more EileenEO giveaways... (hint:TGIF)

Tenderoni

This has got to be the most ridiculous and the most amazing ring. Go ahead tenderize you meats with this bad boy! Then listen to this amazing song!

more info here- also please check out the ring that you can pin your reciepts and other small pieces of paper. I love those things and my 6th grade math teacher, Mrs. Stern, had one and I was obsessed!

Put a Ring on it

One of my friends has this ring. I have yet to ask him if he likes it and likes the way it works, but I think it looks pretty cool. He's a bartender too, so I am sure it comes in handy in a pinch. On a side note, doesn't it seem like everything that can have a bottle opener feature does? Some of my sailing knives double as them, and my key for my bike lock has one. On any given day I am schlepping at least 3 of these! What does that say about me?
