Why all the happiness and smiley faces?

Because we take off for a week in Florida tomorrow. I have an exceptionally busy couple of months on the horizon, so I'm going to try to do my best to actually relax and lay flat on my back doing nothing but staring at a Kindle for a minimum of many hours every single day that I'm there. The plan is to return home rested and tan and healthy (I'm even - !!!! - bringing running sneakers) and ready to get moving.

Alright, I think this is so cool: over on Paperfashion.net, Katie shares the process of creating the Ramshackle Glam book cover. I had no idea what went into the illustrations (and, honestly, probably wouldn't have caught the "maybe not the best idea to show a pair of shoes sitting in a handbag right next to a baby bottle" thing myself), so this was a really fun read for me. P.S. You can check out a preview of the book and pre-order it here, and see the trailer here.

This article by the Duke University student who also works as a porn star and who firmly believes that the problem is not the sex industry, but rather the prevailing attitude towards the women who work in it is phenomenal and thought-provoking and a must-read.

Unique and wonderful tattoo inspiration (I'm loving that rainbow heart as inspiration for my next - post-pregnancy, obviously - tattoo) from Gala.

:) Last night we kicked off what's looking like two days of being snowbound by watching cartoons in bed. "In bed" because I finally broke and installed a TV in our bedroom, and it is the BEST and I LOVE IT and am TOTALLY FINE with the fact that I am now officially a card-carrying Lazy Person who is too much of a sloth to climb a flight of stairs between watching The Bachelor and going to sleep.

:) This new app lets you store your house key in a cloud and immediately cut one at a kiosk if you lock yourself out rather than waiting around for a locksmith (and paying a fortune). It also sounds like it would have solved about 99% of my problems when I was living in the city.

:) If you don't own a fedora yet, this one is classic and perfect (and nicely priced).

:) Starting a new project! (I was going to hold off a few more weeks to start so I could do either a pink or a blue explosion, but I fell so in love with this rainbow wool - mine is #7824 - that I couldn't wait.) Want to knit along with me? This is a fun, easy pattern.

:) Looking for an awesome, classic everyday watch for an also-awesome price? Here you go.

:) Kendrick told me a couple of days ago that when I am pregnant, I am like the nice and evil Gollums having a conversation with themselves. That sounds about right.
