I’ve been working on getting my little office space in one of our spare bedrooms organized. I saw this recently on another blog and I must have this!

I’ll add in a fabric covered pin board by Simple Song on etsy.

Someday, I can make myself a fab workspace like Nicole over at Pink Loves Brown…. if only Ikea would open a store in Hawaii, or even offer shipping to Hawaii.

I am really digging Melamine plates. I love the bold, colorful and graphic prints I see on these plates. I just bought my family a set of plain white Corelle dishes, hoping they’d last us through my boys’ toddler years. But, I wish that I had known about Melamine before, these are so much more fun. and I love that they are also supposed to be chip and break resistant. There are a few of my favs:

so last night around 11:30pm, i turn on my tivo to watch my recorded 10 o’clock news commercial free and notice that I had a new recording of Hell’s kitchen! wahoo! I love watching Chef Ramsey. So I immediately forgo watching my news to watch the season premier of Hell’s Kitchen. I get my husband and we settle in for an hour of laughs and crude language. I’m very interested by this season because it seems like most of the chefs on the show aren’t really real executive chefs, like the law office receptionist and the Stay-at-home dad. I’m intrigued to see who Chef Ramsey picks to be his new head chef in is LA restaurant, seems like a whole lot of trust going on a person who doesn’t necessarily have the experience to lead a whole restaurant. So after last night, my currant fav is Jen. What a crack up! and gross! and how’s that scene with Chef Ramsey throwing up that guys food! drama I tell you! I love it. So, my stupid tivo cut off the last 5 minutes of the show, because American Idol ran long. So if anyone knows who got kicked off, please let me know! Thanks!!!
