Sew Much Fun!!
In an effort to adultify our house and get ready for Andrew's big move-in, I've decided to redecorate one room at a time. First: the the living room. I'm continuing with the light blue, cream and champagne color scheme, but I'm replacing the furniture and updating the home accessories decór. Here is a sneak peek at the pillows that I am making (via my roommate Shamsi's sewing lessons and vintage Singer machine!).

Procrastination
I'm sitting at my desk right now...a hot cup of tea next to me, chill music on my iTunes, my proposal scattered all around me and procrastinating to NO END! In an effort to prolong this current stint of procrastination, I thought it was time to show the world my new hair cut. Three weeks ago I debuted my short 'do that I had done in NYC. Well, it just wasn't short enough. This past weekend I went to Toni&Guy Hairdressing Academy and had my hair cut even shorter by a student barber! Eight dollars and two and a half hours later, this is what I have! Check it out!

My Two Sense...
There's a lot of 'serious' stuff going on in the world today, and since I have this wonderful venue to express my feelings, here are my two sense:
On tonight's episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Taylor Armstrong throws the most ridiculous party for her daughter's 4th birthday. With a Tea Party theme (both unoriginal and Republican in nature), Taylor Armstrong blew $60,000 on the Houdini Estate, teapot flower arrangements, a pink tent, and gold and diamond necklaces for her daughter and all the little girls. Seeing as how her daughter was NOT thrilled about this party, you'd think that Taylor would have asked her daughter what she wanted to do for her birthday. By the looks of it, the party was for Taylor not her daughter. Nice work, mom.
The beloved former teen idol David Cassidy faces drunk driving charges after he was found swerving on a Florida highway Wednesday night. Cassidy failed several sobriety tests and blew a .14 on his breathalyzer. He told the officer he had a glass of wine with lunch several hours earlier and had taken a Vicodin a few hours earlier. Nevermind the half-empty bottle of bourbon that was found in the backseat!! I still love you, David (even though I really don't know who you are!).
Look out everyone, Jessica Alba has checked her ego at the door! In the latest issue of Elle Magazine, Alba confesses that she'd "prefer to fade into the background on film". Alba cites motherhood as the main reason for the shift in focus. She says that the time she's not with her daughter has to be worth it, so she'd rather NOT be the lead. I'm not sure if that makes sense, but whatever. While Jessica Alba may be beautiful, she is a hideous actress...I think that should be her reason for not wanting to be the center of attention. Have you seen 'The Eye' or any of the new 'Fantastic Four' movies? If you have, you know exactly what I'm talking about. If you haven't, don't even bother. I'm just glad she finally has her priorities in line.
Rapper Lil Wayne was released from Rikers today 8 months into a 12 month prison sentence. He was convicted of having a loaded gun on his tour bus in 2007. This wasn't the first time Lil Wayne has run into trouble while on board his tour bus. Not too long ago, Wayne's tour bus was pulled over at a Border Patrol stop in Arizona, where all sorts of goodies were found on board! Anyway, back to the story...while Lil Wayne was in prison, his newest album, I Am Not a Human Being, was released and went straight to number 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Both Lil Wayne and Martha Stewart are living proof that life does go on after prison!
LeAnn Rimes: The Cheater and Homewrecker
As many of you know, LeAnn Rimes has recently been embroiled in a scandal in which she cheated on her husband (now ex) with co-star and now new love, Eddie Cibrian. Rimes was recently on the cover of Shape Magazine, which received a lot of criticism for "promoting" husband-stealers and cheaters. Really!? First of all, who cares? Second, LeAnn isn't the hottest chick around...I think we should actually give her some credit for landing a stud like Eddie Cibrian!
