Friday Awesomeness

I was thinking today might not be such an awesome day.  I woke up just slightly cranky.  Nothing major.  Just the sort of waking up where you think "my pillow sucked last night".  Anyway, I was aware of the potential for a cranky day.  HOWEVER, I've been totally snapped out of it by a handful of things...

1) My 80 year old library boyfriend, Dave, started my work day with a couple questions that were fairly silly and included needing to find out how long he could buy a 5lb bag of peanuts at Menards for $4.98.  For those of you who are interested--Sunday.  You're welcome.

2) I actually declared myself an expert on Iowa to another patron today. 

3) I've found another new favorite website with which to purchase things...house8810.com
They have so many stupid great things I might just blow all the money I have...probably not, but I'd like to.
Behold my favorites:  The boombox above is actually an "Urban picnic basket".  Remember how I said I wanted to go on a picnic???  ummm..exactly..


Yup, you carve anything you want onto the front of these postcards...
  Ok, I can't even begin to explain how much I love this website...it's nonstop vintage stuff that is so RIDICULOUSLY cute I can't contain myself.  I'm ready to start throwing children's birthday parties just so I can use the sock monkey birthday banner along with the birthday sock monkey tie on tails!  you could wear a silly birthday hat OOOOOOORRRRRR you could tie on a sock monkey tail...is there really a question??? I think not...oh, and nevermind the adorable red pretend Weber grill that a sweet little child could play on while dad (or mom) is grilling...I'm half ready to tie on an apron right this very second.


This is from one of those wall quote thingamajigs which I've always kindof liked but never really seen myself using...until now..now I want this one and I want it to be in my library.  My future awesome home library where there is a fireplace, a giant comfy chair, a wine/martini bar, a giant bathtub, and a ladder that rolls around the walls. 

I believe this is enough for now...watch out, I may become inspired again!
