say hello to my little house

So this is my soon to be new old house.

I should be signing the documents on Thurs. and will receive the keys on Friday. Nuts!
So, needless to say, my Vacation starts at 12:01 Saturday morning, also the day we will start packing the house so we can fill the one you see above.

A week of packing, unpacking, cleaning, shuffling and moving around. Crazy to think that when we moved into this place a little over a year ago I had just returned from Poland and was in a totally different place than now. Who would have thought?

new recipe

Tried to re-create an old Plaid-tastic dish.

Spicy Thai Peanut Dip/Sauce

1c. Reduced Fat Peanut Butter
2tsp. + sri racha chili sauce
1/2 one lime
1 clove garlic
pinch salt
tamari

pretty good. I will have to try it again and see how I would change it.
Maybe chunky peanut butter

a hitchcock blonde

Those who know me well know about my Hitchcock obsession.

Part of my college extra-curriculum was a class that studied Hitchcock, his films and his genius.
It was one of my favorite classes that I ever took and one of the most fascinating.

Two of my favorite gifts every bestowed upon me by MM were an extensive collection of Hitchcock DVDs and LPs of Torn Curtain and Vertigo he ordered from Germany - I love them!

I overused my blonde Marilyn wig about 4 years in a row at work during Halloween as Tippi Hedren in The Birds. Some people understood my costume right away, many did not. Those who got it appreciated my subtlety (I would like to think) with my choice of costume - down to the 'blood', tousled hair and clip on crows I found on sale days before Halloween 2003.

And today while patrolling the internet I found the little beauty you see above. The Birds Barbie.
Now considering that the novelty wore off of my MAC Barbie ( and hell, they are my bottom line) - I wonder if it's a waste of $45?

a little passive agressive?

I am currently completely obsessed with blogs. Blogs of all types but I have been bookmarking an abundance of design and style blogs from all over the world.

I locate new blogs to salivate over by looking at who I am lurking likes to lurk themselves - and that is how I located one of the funniest sites I have seen in a while.

I loved FOUND magazine, and this site is similar - though the 'found' items drip in passive/aggressive goodness.

Above is my favorite of all the notes.


Feeling feisty? Passive-Aggressive - go!
