Kudos from American Standard!

Looking more like a bathroom!

American Standard complimented my use of their toilet and faucet in my bathroom remodel! Hee hee -- this tickles me for some reason.

Where my news at?!

BBC America no longer broadcasts a news program in the morning. I cannot watch these bobo burlesque shows that masquerade as members of the fourth estate (I'm talking to you, Today Show), so what shall I do for morning news? Gah.

The little witches left this at the top of my mom's driveway. Though I can only guess their purpose in this strangely crafted symbol, I think they mean no harm.

If this woodland charm is meant to influence my mom to continually purchase ridiculous amounts of Littlest Pet Shop merchandise for little girls' birthdays, then I can vouch for its effectiveness.
