I am really liking the Yelp Website. It is a good place to go to find out where to go. they have great reviews done by real people. Every week they put together a list or as they refer to it a Weekly Yelp. This week the Yelp was a review of places to go [...]

I have been doing some research in preparation for putting together my Christmas list when I got off track and started to think about (well maybe fantasize about) the Roomba. You know, it’s the roboty thing that can vacuum the floor for you, kind of like a pool skimmer? Apparently, this little honey will drive [...]

It has been unseasonably cold here in Atlanta this month, and today we have that overcast look it gets before a snow. But, the only snow I see is on Matt Mullinweg’s blogsite. I really love his new blog design and today I was admiring it again and either there is actually snow coming [...]

Don’t lay around and miss it because this weekend is your big opportunity to visit the lair of the Grant Henry at Sister Louisa’s Art Gallery in the Church of the Living Room. Did you know this man has over 52 winter coats? How about his 106 pair shoe collection?
Well those things may be interesting factoids but the real reason you should get over to the Telephone Factory Art Sale is that

According to Samantha Critchell, blogging for the Huffington Post,yellow is the official color for this year.
Pantone, which provides color standards to design industries, specifically cites “mimosa,” a vibrant shade of yellow illustrated by the flowers of some mimosa trees as well as the brunch-favorite cocktail, as its top shade of the new year.
This does not surprise me. I have found myself drawn to deep yellow lately. It is a great color. I just used a color much like Mimosa for an Island in Judy Clement’s Kitchen.
Local painter extraordinaire, Janice Zabitz, painted the Island and distressed it. After mucho patience to put on mucho coats of paint, crackle glaze and varnish, it turned out oh so yummy looking. mmmm mmmm. It makes me happy. Here, here for yellow!

We have a B and B here at 130 Krog Street and this weekend we have a full house. Our guests are three men gator fans, and one is bringing his 17 year old son and 20 year old daughter from Florida coming up to see University of Florida beat Alabama on Saturday afternoon . One of them wrote to ask me what they should do with themselves while they are here. So I prepared the following customized itinerary

I tracked them down these little honeys and will share these great little gadgets with you. But Shhhh… I am buying three of them; one pink, one red and one blue. They are 3 inches by 1 inch, do not need batteries since they are powered by the I-pod and they are actually a little speaker. Just the thing for traveling.

I have to admit it, I am a color freak. My dirty little secret is that I have over one hundred cans of paint in my garage and that is one hundred, after I recently weeded out the empty dried up cans. So you see, of course I would have had to fall in love with Pantone dishes when I first saw them a couple of years ago at the Fishes Eddy store in New York City. The set at Fishes Eddy did not have mugs, only cups and saucers. But now, I just came across this set of ten mugs for 125.00 from Delight.com, and I am salivating. These mugs,

I mean, besides the fact that it doesn’t seem to work with Internet Explorer, yet it works just fine with Firefox. And I can’t get the comments page to work. And I’d rather the main paper part of the blog had a green folder sticking out from behind it rather than the curling paper but I haven’t gotten to that yet. I mean besides all that, what do you think?
And while I am asking some questions of you out there, can someone tell me
