Girlfriends always make the best Valentines- who else would appreciate a “What Would Beyonce Do” pencil?! (If you’re looking for Vday goodies, Michaels was the jackpot for my little packages I sent- garland, cocktail napkins, cheese-y but fun heart necklaces…and they are always on sale + coupons!)

The Saint Bernard in this list of dogs who have no idea how they got on the counter just killed me!

I am absolutely in agreement with this list of 5 restaurants in Chicago that are perfect for various occasions. (Recognize Erica from 5 Questions With…?)

Speaking of 5 Questions With…if you’re in Vancouver, go to Hearts of Gold on Valentine’s Day. All proceeds go to supporting Megan’s Runser‘s fight against Hodgkin’s. Stateside like me? You can still buy a ticket to make a donation.

“Brave means listening to the still small voice inside and DOING AS IT SAYS.” – this post from Momastery is the best thing I read this week.

I think this tea towel is perfect.

Big Metal Chickens 2.0

I still read The Bloggess’ post on Big Metal Chickens every few days, just to keep belly laughing.

My bff Holly and I dismiss most problems by saying that we wouldn’t even be having this conversation if Beyonce was towels.

So imagine my delight when I stumbled upon this glorious hunk of metal at the Eastern Market in Washington, DC this weekend:

Moments after finding this gem of a big metal chicken, this appeared in my email inbox:

The Atlanta Big Metal Chicken!

It’s like learning a new word- once you learn a new word, you see it everywhere. And who knew Big Metal Chickens were everywhere?!

Potatoes Beyonce

adminUncategorized%s Comments

I want a new cat.

We’ve been having some behavioral issues with Luna Bell (ahem, biting hard- wha?!), probably because she likes Ryan more than she likes me (traitor) and since he’s out of town for work, I’m the one stuck with devil cat.  I got mad the other day and threatened to send Luna Bell to my mom’s house to live out her kitty days and get a new cat.

I would name the new cat Potatoes Beyonce.

Potatoes because it’s hilarious/random and Beyonce after big metal chickens.

Ryan’s response was that he hates Potatoes Beyonce and would refuse to feed Potatoes Beyonce and would never forgive me for replacing Luna Bell with Potatoes Beyonce.   Hearing him say Potatoes Beyonce so many times made me giggle and I wanted a new kitty even more.

In reality, we will probably get a dog in the next few years and if I were actually to get Potatoes Beyonce, we would then have 3 pets.  Which is way too many considering we are urban dwellers and a yard and/or big house isn’t exactly in the cards.

So for now I’ll carry on with Luna Bell.  Perhaps I’ll do some research into kitty therapy…
