joining forces.

over the weekend mas came up with (what i think is) THE BEST IDEA EVER.  he wanted to, and actually started blogging over at the {not so} urban foodie.  i think he might be using this writing for what is now a joint blog, mostly as a motivational technique.  you know, since i've not exactly been on top of that shit.  though it doesn't matter, i'm happy to take him as my co-author (obvi), and am actually pretty pumped for him to offer up a different view on the food we eat, because honestly the two of us approach things from completely different directions.  for example he would never break down into tears while trying to plan a menu and i would not be happy eating pasta every night.

so, that's it, a hopeful new life for that nearly dead fish of a blog that is the {not so} urban foodie.  i can't wait ... it's gonna be FUN.

my phone is off for you.

i have pretty strong feelings about cell phones at tables*. NOT ALLOWED**. i mean really people, is it that hard to either excuse yourself to take a call or just not answer it? the same goes for texts. i'm not too keen on sitting with someone while they are actively engaging someone else who is not physically in front of them. it drives me nuts and hurts my feelings (only a little). so when i came across this i fell in love, as in i want to order the five pieces of flair for everyone i know. plus how cute is that table setting? and the hot pink? ugh. perfect.

the hankies that block cell signal are kinda beyond wonderful too.

*i come by this honestly. an immediate family member of mine travels with a cell phone jammer. i know horrifying. though he only uses it when he deems it absolutely necessary.

**poor mas was subjected to my wrath last thursday at dinner ... he had a new phone, a new phone that didn't have a crack in the screen rendering the keyboard useless and causing him to not respond to two months worth of text messages. in his defense, he had started catching up with people before we went to dinner, but then we were sitting at our table and one message was sent, and then another ... that was the last.

t-shirts.

the number of t-shirts that currently reside in our domicile is astronomical. mas has about a million and a half and i still can't seem to loose my freshman year dorm tee ... getting an idea as to how bad the situation is? still, i want more, lots and lots and lots more. maybe we will start giving one every time we get one? sounds good, until i'm down to one of my aa tri-blends and my second college's hockey team ...
