My brother, younger sister and I were obsessed with the little rascals and watched them ALL the time. Here is a short clip of when Spanky was a little toddler! THIS IS THE CUTEST THING EVER!!! :) lol

My sister and I walked by this interesting installation that is currently housed in one of the commercial buildings on 54th and Lexington Ave. I think it was [?] Anyways, I found these little dessert homes [?] so facinating! I Literally wanted to go to Home Depot right then and buy a bunch of 2x4's and start painting and sawing... :) The smoke stacks behind are so cute too, looks like something that jumped out of a cartoon.

Some of my favorite comedy comes from Japan [Tanaka being my favorite comedian over there] and when Hiro and I would go to Japan we would always watch the comedy shows. "Downtown" & "Kokoriko" which is a comedy group in Japan,[Tanaka is part of Kokoriko] performs "you can't laugh" sketches --- Im sure there is a better way to put it, but anyways this one is of the group watching an english lesson and if they laugh then ninja like men come out and whip their booty! :[) Enjoy!

Emily ,the younger of the two girls whom I babysitt, got me hooked on this Saturday Night Live skit! I cannot stop laughing...especially when I picture Emily [who is 12] imitating Chris Parnell...Somehow she is able to get the perfect pitch of his voice...it is hilarious, actually I should make a youtube video just of that! :) lol

Beautiful pieces over at mossonline.com - The small coral lamp with holes seems like it would give off a cozy warm glow! The antler bell is hard to resist! And the clay end table and shelf is genius!!! I would LOVE to see how those are constructed.

Im baaaaaaaaack!!! :) Mwahahaha heheh lol

I finally got back into the city this morning! It is sooo good to be back, I think the thing ive missed the most is walking everywhere! But it was also nice to be in Utah and RELAAAAAX and spend time with my family. One day my mom, sisters and I went and got a full body massage [my first time ever] and that was so nice except I was in pain the entire time from my massage therapist getting all my knots out...What really intrigued me about the massage too, was when he was telling me how woman, more so than men will actually hide their knots under their scapula, this is supposedly a defense mechanism for the female body...Interesting. :) Then I also one of my favorite foods - you will laugh - Ambrosia Salad!!!! :) There is a picture of me below with it. I pretty much ate my weight in that stuff and didn't regret it one bit! I also wanted to post a picture of the snow flakes that my mom hangs up every year. And each year new ones are added that we all have created, it has been a tradition for 14 years or so... then the other picture is the view from my mom and step dad's house in Alpine, Utah. PLEASE ignore that ugly monstrous house that is across the street from them, literally, everyone in the neighborhood is secretly hoping it will burn down!!!! But the view of the mountains everyday, breathtaking! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday, and a good New Years. It is 2007 friends! I don't know about you, but im excited. ;) One of my goals [not resolutions] is " talk less, do more" - pretty much the same every year. hugs and kisses*
