This is my current desktop…all 27 inches of it sucked up by the most gorgeous eye I’ve ever seen.

I’m a little late posting because after getting my taxes done yesterday, I was informed that my grandparents were bar hopping a few blocks from my house. Sure enough, I showed up at the punk rock bar down the street and grandpa & grandma were sitting in a booth across from my dad and his girlfriend, sharing a hamburger and mix drinks. They spent a few more hours hitting a few more bars where more drinks (and gambling) ensued while I sat in the corner. My grandma started doing a little jig when she hit a jackpot. I can’t keep up with these party animals!

Last year, my grandpa was hospitalized for the first time ever (!!) at 83 with a brain aneurysm. We were so worried about him but less than a day after surgery, he was propped up in his hospital bed, drinking a beer and watching the baseball game on TV. Any time they’re in town, I drop everything and pay them a visit — how could I turn down an invite from such characters??

I’ve been in need of some solid black sandals for Spring and Summer and in the back of my mind, I kept thinking about the Dolce Vita Jade. When I shot these for a set of landing pages a few months ago, I was super impressed with the quality and of course, the jumbo tassels only added to their charm. These will work great dressed down with skinny black jeans or dressed up with dresses and tights. I love the clean lines — there aren’t a bunch of distracting seams everywhere.

Last week, I mentioned that my new favorite color of nail polish was Mint Sprint by Sally Hansen Insta-Dri but it was hard to see in the photo. Well, here it is in all its minty glory. Yum!

A certain little someone blends into his surroundings a little too well! First came the house, then came Rocky — I couldn’t have asked for a better match!
