Portable Spice Kit
Saw this tip on http://dollarstorecrafts.com/2011/02/make-a-portable-gourmet-salt-kit/. Use one of the pill-a-day weekly holders and store spices in them to take on vacation. That way you don't leave your good bottles of spice in the vacation home, or end up using their 20 year old spices you find tucked away in the cabinets of the house. Not a bad idea. A little quirky, but I like that in a household tip.

More IPad Dreams
Read on twitter (my new media toy) that Apple will introduce the IPad 2 on March 2. Of course, if I am going to do the dream right, I have to accessorize properly. Thinking this case/keyboard combo should do it. Then again, I just saw this new product on www.kickstarter.com, so maybe I will have to multi-accessorize (is that a new word?). I think I have an IPad problem....

Art I Need
Just discovered artist Megan Weston via this post on DesignSponge and am in love. Don't know what her pricing is, but I would totally put her work on my walls. Maybe I need a field trip to Australia!

True Confessions
I loathe Oprah and Martha Stewart. There, I said it. I just don't get the lovefest around them. Maybe it is the cynic in me, but I think they are fakes who are brilliant marketers (not that there's anything wrong with that....).
Anyone else out there feel like that, or is it just me?

IPad dreams
One of my recent musings has been how to justify an IPad. It looks like so much fun! The games, the books, the apps...forget work. I am restraining myself until the next generation comes out, as rumor has it that it will have a camera and maybe a USB port. It looks like April may be the release date. Until then, I will have to be content with window shopping for the Ipad and accessories. Once I have unlimited funds and/or a fairy godmother, this is my shopping list:
This cool stand for the IPad - perfect for using in the kitchen when cooking recipes from the internet
A case for the IPad
Shop on, friends!

Assorted Musings
Just some random thoughts for today:
I decided to join twitter today, mainly to make sure I reserved my business name. I already have two followers, neither of whom I know, and before I posted my first tweet. Who are these people and why on earth are they following me when they know NOTHING about me?
Just made this smoothie and it passed the taste test from both resident picky eaters, even the seven year old. She is the one who would live off cheese sticks, cheerios and strawberries if allowed. It is light and refreshing, not heavy on the peach taste. I am guessing you could up the amount of peaches if you wanted more.
Discovered Kickstarter, a funding incubator for all sorts of things. So cool. I "invested" $25 towards a cool stylus. If the product doesn't make it into production, you don't pay.
It is a beautiful day here - I am working on my porch, watching kids and dogs play in the yard. It doesn't get much better than this! Well, maybe if I dumped the work part!
