Don't Be a Honut While Playing Scrabble

Words that work in Scrabble:
Turfing

Words that don't:
Honut

I like testing the limits of language when I play Scrabble.

Saturday afternoons sitting at the kitchen table with my mom, Grandma, and Nick (poor guy, gets roped in every time), are never complete without at least one round of this highly intellectual game...that is, highly intellectual until I start making up my own words - like Honut...I was certain that that was a legit word but according to Nick's handy iphone app, it wasn't! Can you believe it! I swear I've heard that before, as in "That girl is such a honut!" or "Get your honut self back here right this minute!" Or "Change right now before you leave the house, you honut."

Whatever! Even Grandma wouldn't accept THAT one.

Until next time Scrabble!

Corn Cupcakes

Corn cupcakes that a co-worker brought to our 9th Chili Cook-off.

Amazing.

The butter is laffy taffy. The kernels are jelly bellys. Just another fun Friday afternoon at Roxy.

Do You Realize...

...that you have the most beautiful face.

The Flaming Lips at the Fox Theater in Pomona was amazing.

Confetti flew from the sky.
Laser pointers commanded by the audience made Wayne look like a being of light.
Animal creatures danced on the stage.And we left the concert in an euphoric state.

You just need a bag of hammers.

Cool Blog: Unknown Hipster

I'm inspired by the Unknown Hipster. These clever little sketches from his travels tell way more than a digital camera. Let's replace the tech with some unlined journals and felt tipped pens.

Art Project: Postcard Journals

I have been collecting postcards since I was in second grade.

I keep them in an old Lisa Frank pencil box in the back of my closet.

Over the years I've accumulated an quite interesting assortment - including one from Paris sent by my German pen pal Yoschi, several from Hawaii vacations taken by Auntie Mame, and one from Honduras sent by one of my best friends in second grade Megan Finnerty.

Every three years or so, when I decided to clean out my closet, I find this curious box filled with my postcards, and I always wish that I had a way to enjoy them more often.

Yesterday, Design*Sponge the had the best project: Postcard Journals!

What a brilliant idea!

They're super simple to make and look beautiful.

Now I can turn some of my favorite postcards into journals for myself or make some pretty sweet gifts for friends and family members.

Is a Maxi a MuuMuu?

I hope blog post numero dos doesn't disappoint my very loyal and vocal readers. Bear with me until we get this thing going a bit...Mia Moda will have its own VOICE!


Recent Ponder:

I absolutely LOVE my maxi dress. (Elegance made casual...anyone?Anyone?) It's literally the only thing I feel like wearing. It's cool, it's comfortable, and it's simple.

The trick is to start wearing it over the weekend. Be sure to socialize with DIFFERENT people on Saturday and Sunday. Then you can wear it again Monday at work. hehehe...the only person who will know your secret is a very loving boyfriend who doesn't seem too perturbed by it :-)

I used to do this in college.
Who knew it would also work in post-bacchalorete life?

This little dress is a daily topic of conversation in the office - how much we enjoy wearing this long, luxurious, cotton dress. I have even been trying to convince my male co-worker that he should wear one...remember Claude, the scooba instructor in "Along Came Polly?" He sexily sported one of these babies...

My one hindrance is this: is my beloved Maxi dress really just a glorified Muumuu? You will have to decide for yourself.

So point being, you can't go through summer without getting one of these dresses.

You will not regret it...

Yes, this mean you too Jessica Thacher. Break down and go buy one.
