Amy Poehler is Pregnant!

OMG this news makes me so happy! I just told somebody the other day that I couldn’t wait for Amy Poehler to get pregnant. I have no idea why. I can’t wait to see her do Amber preggers. JELLUS?

Well, Mike?

I saw this scrawled on the sidewalk in chalk over the weekend in Princeton, New Jersey. I can’t stop wondering who wrote it, if the author really meant it, if he/she ever got an answer, was it yes, was it no? And I also keep hearing Andie Walsh screaming in my head, “What about PROM, Blaine? WHAT ABOUT PROM!”

Save Duke Gardens!

This weekend, the ladies and I visited the indoor displays at Duke Gardens in Hillsborough, NJ. You all know I’m kind of a Doris Duke freak. I’d heard about the display gardens for years, but had never seen them. Then I read in the paper that, as part of a “new vision” for Duke Estates, they will be dismantled forever in less than a month. So we made plans to visit. It took Ms. Duke more than six years to build these gardens — Italian, Colonial, Edwardian, French, English, Chinese, Japanese and Indo-Persian designs juxtaposed near desert, tropical and semi-tropical environments.

The foundation says that the gardens no longer fit into Duke Estates’ goals for being a green organization, but I don’t think this is what Doris would have wanted. Go here to find out more and if you can, please send a letter.

Photos after the jump.

Oh, Winston, Be Mine

There’s nothing better than closing out a long week with some classic Winston video. Rich, I didn’t think I could love you any harder until I saw those cowboy sheets.

Avoiding Work

Wandered around the house and the yard and took a few photos.

I Miss You, Bill Haverchuck

A kid spikes another kid’s lunch with peanut butter cookie crumbs. A kid with a life-threatening peanut allergy. Is it wrong that sometimes I want to slap kids I don’t even know?

A Good Time

After work yesterday, I drove over to Beth’s house, changed into biking clothes, and we drove down to the D&R Canal towpath, where we cycled about 12 or 14 miles together. Aside from the bugs, WHICH WERE LEGION, it was a good ride. We chatted but rode hard enough to feel it later, saw a lot of ducks, a couple of weirdos, and ended the evening with mega-calorie-and-totally-worth it meal with some lovely pinot grigio to wash it all down. I truly enjoy evenings out with Beth, as they are few and far between due to her job demands. Beth is someone who doesn’t tolerate bullshit of any kind, and I (probably too often) use her as a sounding board/sanity check. The two of us have a similar outlook on life; one without the incessant navel-gazing that seems to plague so many people. I know that makes me sound like an incredible bitch. I’m okay with that. So yeah, a good evening. Thanks, friend!
