VOTE

BOY or GIRL? We have an appointment to find out in 2 weeks! What do you think we're having? Cast your vote in the poll on the left! To give you some things to consider...

1) According to the Chinese Calendar, it's a girl.

2) When we heard the heartbeat, it was just under 140 beats/min. Old wives verdict: it's a boy.

3) When I have dreams about baby, baby is always a girl.

4) When I crave food, it is almost always salty--not sweet. (Wait--how is that different than normal?) Old wives say: it's a boy.

What do you think? Add to our excitement and cast your vote!

Hate to Love

So, I hate to watch Lost. But I love the show. Is it just me? Does anyone else hate to love Lost?

I mean, it is such an intriguing web of mystery and relationships that I get addicted to it. But for reals, I am so angry the whole time I watch, because they constantly leave you hanging...and just when you think you've figured out what's going on, you realize you don't have a clue. They must call it Lost because that's how you feel when you watch, no matter how many episodes you've seen. But it's mesmerizing. I feel like I actually know the characters. It makes me so mad that I feel like I rarely get answers, I just get more mysteries added to the pile. But what can I say?

I love this show!

...I hate that. :)

This is fun!

Thanks to Brianna for this cool link! I took this fun quiz to find out what my decorative style is, and it is right on the button.

My personal style is...

Modern Elegance (67%)

Variety is the spice of life! And nowhere is this truer than in the design of your home. You may love contemporary, but wish it wasn't quite so cold and austere, or perhaps you're drawn to traditional rooms but you'd like to create a less cluttered and busy space. Transitional Style is here to marry those apparent contradicting designs.

And guess what? It's the contradictions that make the mix of contemporary and traditional so successful. The result is an elegant room that appeals to young and old alike. A sofa with modern lines blends seamlessly with a pair of traditional chairs. New fabrics work so well on antique pieces. It turns out that modern art looks even more exciting above a collection of traditional pieces. The room feels simple and sophisticated, elegant and hip.

Other styles mixed into my taste are....

Nantucket Style (17%)

Cottage Chic (16%)
