My roundup on equipping the perfect bar cart for JC Penney.

Poem from the May 12 New Yorker:
One Can Miss Mountains
and pine. One
can dismiss
a whisper’s
revelations
and go on as
before as if
everything were
perfectly fine.
One does. One
loses wonder
among stores
of things.
One can even miss
the basso boom
of the ocean’s
rumpus room
and its rhythm.
A man can leave
this earth
and take nothing
–not even
longing–along
with him.
–Todd Boss

Some of my photos from Blogher, unfortunately technical difficulties ate the rest. I feel better about my missing Kirtsy party photos because their photo booth photographer got so many great shots. The best stuff from other people’s albums is here in my favorites file on Flickr.

Lots of good designs and products to scan this week. Here’s where we’re keeping them:
-My wine-rack roundup for my gig with JC Penney’s. Time to stop keeping our wine on top of the fridge.
-I’m restraining myself from purchasing almost everything in the 50 Problem Solvers Under $50 guide that Melissa put together for Mighty Haus.
-Melissa […]

Did you know it was possible to get blisters from a support garment? Like, long, water-filled girdle blisters across your back? The kind where you wake up, and something on your back itches, so you go to scratch it, and your hand comes away wet? Did you know this?
Yeah. Me neither.

On Saturday night during Blogher we threw a launch party for Mighty Haus, and it was dreamy. It was my first launch party, so I was apprehensive — but Bryan insisted, and it turns out he’s always right about these things. (Good job, husband.)
We had orange food, key necklaces for guests, and Krispy Kremes to […]

Have you ever wondered what our apartment looks like? Have you ever wondered what it looks like when I’ve spent a few days obsessively mopping and dusting with Q-tips, because I know the Internet is about to see it? Well then, head on over to Apartment Therapy San Francisco and have a look. You’ll laugh, […]

You’re about to meet 1,000 women you don’t know. Maybe ignore the voice in your head that says, “I know, BANGS!”
