Dear Honeywell,
It might not be your fault that our a/c is on the fritz again, but your thermostat is the only thing in arms reach for me to curse at.
Hopefully one day our relationship can be mended. (A cool house, would be a great start).
Sincerely,
Hot in Ohio

Bargain shopping
This morning I received another email from Zgallerie this morning so I started poking around their site, when I came across their Borghese furniture collection. Which, looks rather similar to the Hayworth collection from Pier 1.
See for yourself:
Zgallerie
Pier 1
The lingerie chest from Zgallerie is $899.
The lingerie chest from Pier 1 is $449.
So, if your looking to get a glam look for not a lot of dolla dolla bills...check out the collection at Pier 1!

Coffee talk
One of my birthday presents was a new coffee pot from my mom. The one I had been using (for the past six years) finally made its way to the big coffee bar in the sky. It took Mom and I about 4 months of planning, trying, looking and research before finding the perfect replacement. We decided upon this one:
The Cuisinart DCC-1100.
Isn't she a beaut?
I've never had my own pot that was programmable, and lemme tell you something; its the way to go. I mean, I still have to set it up the night before (too bad it can't do that for me) but when I come downstairs in the morning, BAM!, its ready for my empty cup :)
If you are in the market for a new one...I'd suggest this bad boy. Its sleek design, takes up almost no counter space. It brews quickly and comes out piping hot...it even has a little clock on it! Awww!
And, I'd recommend brewing your first pot with Harry and David's Moose Munch coffee. You're gonna lurv it!!

Hot in Cleveland
I might young in years, but when it comes to good tv, I appreciate the classics. I grew up watching I Love Lucy. I didn't understand why none of my friends in elementary school were named Ricky, Fred or Ethel. And even more surprised when my classmates had never even heard of my beloved Lucy.
Do you know what show I'd make sure I sat in front of the tv to watch (before they were reruns?) The Golden Girls. I was like, 6? Blanche, Rose, Dorothy and Sophia were my gurls.
When they started passing away and Lifetime would have Estelle Getty marathon days (then Bea Arthur...and subsequently Rue McClanahan) days, my dvr would be full. Hubby would wonder why one of his shows wasn't recorded and then he noticed 32 new Golden Girls. Opps.
So when Betty White's new show on TVLand premiered, I was there, bucket of popcorn in lap ready to get my fill. And I tell you what, IT. WAS. AWESOME.
If you watched the finale this week, then you'll understand the Free Elka shirt. I want to buy this shirt and wear it proudly around my town. I just wonder if anyone else would understand?!

Birthday sharing
My birthday was Sunday (August 15th) and I'm always surprised to hear how many people (celebrities) I share my special day with.
Lets start at the beginning. Madonna. Seriously; we share some serious girl-against-the-world attitude. We channel each other that way :)
Ben Affleck. Now, this one surprised me. It wasn't until he was in rehab (in like 2001?) and I was a freshman in college that I realized this connection. That year he was celebrating his birthday on the "inside" and ET was reporting his rehab stint like they would cover Anna Nicole's death...anyway, that was a shocker.
So you'll never guess who else I share my birthday with. Debra Messing! (Grace, from Will and Grace!) I ADORE her! I'm of the belief that Will and Grace should have its own network. Just non stop episodes. I love that show (and thanks to Lifetime) get my fix everyday!
Oh, just did some research; I also share my birthday with Joe Jonas! (OMG! My inner 14 year old just flipped out!) haha- I also share it with Julia Child!

Picture of the day
Awwwwwwwww
We have a puggle, Jack, that joined our family almost five years ago. The puggle was an obvious choice for us since I always loved the squishy faced pugs and the hubs preferred the beagle.
But this picture of a squishy faced pug just makes my heart grow five sizes!

Continuing to celebrate
Since I already bought Christmas ornaments the other day, why stop the early Christmas celebrating there?
Comedy Central was playing National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation on Saturday...it might be August, but whatever- I'm all about funny 80s movies!
'Specially one of the greatest movies of all time!
"Is your house on fire Clark?"
