I know. 2 posts in one day.

HAD to share this one - I am with a really terrific women's volunteer organization. I know - insert eye roll and yawn here. But NOT with this group!! The amount of work that gets done with a bottle of wine in hand is astounding. I have made life long friends and mentors in this group. Anyway, the story... Ask and you shall receive. Putting together school back packs for neglected and abused kids. 2 quick emails in the middle of the summer and wa - la - you have NINE!!! Filled to the brim back packs AND a box of random supplies that will be totally well used. I love being a part of this. Even better is both my husband and 7 year old helped pack the bags up - took a couple hours to sort and eat taffy whilst doing this. Bonding. Good deed. Love.

Cape Escape and funny things

Just returned from Cape Cod. Never want to leave and this year was no exception. More on that later.
THIS is the funniest thing ever:http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/11/business/media/11martha.html?ex=1219032000&en=b55688b0fbf64f27&ei=5070
You have to check out the blog of Alexis Stewart and Jennifer Koppleman Hutt. http://www.whateverradio.com/website/blogs.php Rip roaring hilarious and now they are doing a show where the premise is them ripping apart old Martha Stewart shows. WITH Martha's consent. Dying. Can't wait to see it! Hilarity ensues during each episode, I'm sure!

thanks fellow bloggers...

So fun are the connections we make in the blog world! Inspiration, support, ideas, friendship, justification for our wild behaviors!! Always at the ready to help rationalize a crazy fabric purchase or talk us down from a bad day. Today, I read a post from Tara http://bellapink.typepad.com/bella_pink_postcards_from/ about her so cute Gap dress. Guess what I had to do? Yup, get in the car and go to my local Gap store - I posted on her site just now that she was lucky they had my size - just a few left! I might have had to go swipe hers! SO cute and I can't wait to wear it. Anyone else have a cool story how they were inspired by a fellow blogger?

ok, also currently obsessed with Schuyler Fisk, daughter of Sissy Spacek - amazing voice. You can hear her at her here: http://www.myspace.com/schuylerfisk . She doesn't have a CD out yet, but should. Her voice is that haunting/folk sound that just stays with you. The guinea pig likes it too!
