I heart typography.

Apples!

Scarves!

 Scarves are one of my wardrobe staples. I tend towards solid colors, often black, and bright scarves are such an easy way to add patterns and colors.

Some people get sad in the autumn because they feel like everything around them is dying. I love autumn because it is the struggle just before everything is reborn.

1 c. flour
1 egg
1/2 c sugar

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Mix ingredients together. Form balls of dough. Press down on cookie sheet.

3. Bake for 7-8 minutes.

The Public Face of New Yorkers

I really enjoyed this article about New Yorkers.

This passage in particular I found dead on:

"One afternoon, I was riding a Brooklyn-bound Q train with my mother, who was visiting from Cape Cod, when our conversation lulled. We each glanced around the subway car at the other passengers, their heads bobbing in unison, the eyes of the man across from us doing a creepy back-and-forth twitch as he watched a train whizzing by in the opposite direction behind us. Some people read, or pushed buttons on their smart phones, but most just stared without expression at the floor or the garish overhead posters for Dr. Zizmor’s cosmetic dermatology. My mother (who is, notably, a psychotherapist) leaned into my shoulder and whispered, “Everyone on this train looks depressed.”


I snorted, whispering back: “No, Mom, they just have their train-faces on.” In a place where we are so rarely alone, we find privacy in public. We all have our masks, behind which we are free to be, yes, depressed, or any other emotional state we may not want to share with 30 fellow passengers."

General Conference

This weekend is the 181st semiannual General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Two days to listen to some of the most brilliant men and women in the world give counsel on the most important issues of our time - how to help those in need, how to pursue peace on our own lives, how to build strong families and raise responsible children, how to face the personal challenges that threaten our own happiness and well-being.

I look forward to this weekend every year and I always come away feeling stronger.

If you're interested in catching any of the conference it will be available here, here, here and here starting Saturday morning at 10 am MST. 

The Big Harumph

The Big Harumph is one of my most favorite etsy shops ever.

Such beautiful, clever prints.

I've been thinking about these welcome prints for weeks and weeks. Is it too early to start working on my Christmas list?

Giddy Spinster

Etsy shop Giddy Spinster reclaims old stilettos and other feminist objects and turns them into ironic art. What do you think?

Husband is taking the LSAT this Saturday! Your fervent prayers are appreciated.

Immediately following his test I am whisking him away to the cabin - where we will pick apples, visit with my grandparents and sit on the porch for two days.
