The Working Life

Sometimes work makes unreasonable demands on you. Like on Thursday when I was required to wear this pink paisley bow tie with a pink plaid shirt. Because losing my Theme Thursday hegemony was not an option. And, since Evan already owned a pink seersucker blazer, I was forced to go get some pink boat shoes.

At least I don't own a pink jeans jacket.

Icons arranged in colour order. I going to have to change my Chrome icon to get it to fit in somewhere.

Le Fête des Moutardes

Mustard Rainbow

The best thing about going to a mustard-themed party, besides actually going to the party, is the  mustarderie. Have you ever even seen that much mustard before‽ No you haven't.

A little more mustardganda to make you feel like you should have been there:

In Which Things are Shelved

The great thing about moving is that once you've gotten rid of all that junk you don't need any more, you can go get some more stuff. We made a stop by St. Vinny's over the weekend and came away with some kitchen shelving and a magazine holder for the bathroom. When I checked out with my new mug and bowl [see above] I realized I'm currently in my Yellow Period.


























Later I found this piece in the basement. It had some thick layers of dust, but I like its Farmhouse-style. It's the first bookshelf I've ever owned, so I finally have a place for my dictionaries. The 1938 Unabridged Webster's is the prize of the collection, plus it goes well with my 1943 globe.

The presidents were so simple back then.
