easter smores.

mi familia is coming to st. louis this weekend to celebrate easter. i could not be more excited to have tthem here, especially my little neice and nephew. mother nature is being a bit difficult these days with a forecast of thunderstorms all weekend. BUT on the off chance that we end up having a dry night, how fun would it be to make these peep smore's in the backyard!?

we had a debate this morning at work on peeps.... do you find them delicious or gross? me, personally, i love them.

english television.

oh my goodness. i have not been so in love with a television show since the first couple seasons of lost, but this new masterpiece theater miniseries, downton abbey has me sipping tea and wearing lace.

downton abbey is created and written by julian fellowes, well known for his oscar-winning gosford park. within the first 5 minutes of the season you find out that the titanic has sunk and with it the two heirs of this beautiful english estate, downton abbey, leaving the fate of the estate unsettled. the story begins to unfold from there as you begin to learn about the characters in the house both upstairs and downstairs.

much of the plot revolves around the three daughters: lady edith, lady jane, and lady sybil. with two sisters myself, how can i not love it?

the costumes, location and set design are a feast for the eyes. watch it. you won't be sorry.

banana phone.

man, i wish i would have seen these one week earlier before i bought my new iphone 4 case. check out these great andy warhol cases from incase.

i would have to go with the velvet underground banana one. my college roommate and i thought it was hilarious to pretend the bananas were phones and would sit in our pjs and gab away on them all night. i know, we are soooo cool.
