Happy Monday!

Here we are, it's Monday again. I spent my weekend trying to learn CSS, but what I really learned was that I don't even know HTML. I have always labeled myself as a "print designer" so that I could shy away from the evils of web design. I had managed solely as a print designer until just recently one of my clients kept asking me to update their website. How could I say no to a steady paycheck? I dug out my Adobe disks and installed Dreamweaver and after a few weeks I was humming along editing text. Of course, once you do a little text editing then the client needs pictures and press releases posted. Suddenly entire days were being filled with web edits! What? Begrudgingly, I decided it was about time to officially learn the internets.

And let me tell you, if you have an engineer for a husband and you start talking code not only does he not stop pawing at you but he buys you fun toys like this new little printer.

The Polaroid POGO wirelessly prints little stickers. One online review said it was "great for teen girls." To which Thomas replied, "That's how I knew you'd love it!" Thanks, hon.

Oh, and Saturday also brought this! Very exciting.

5 things I learned about Boston

1. Riding a water taxi to the airport is really fun.

2. A "regular" coffee has cream and sugar in it.

3. Getting around the city is easy without a car.

4. The clam chowder is really good.

5. The weddings are beautiful.

Confucius say...

We unnecessarily bought a box of chocolate covered fortune cookies at Costco this weekend. (Because that's what you do at Costco, you go in for one thing and two cases of beer, five pounds of ground beef and a box of chocolate fortune cookies later the cart is so heavy you can barely maneuver it through the gargantuan isles to find what you actually went there in the first place to get!) They are really good, so good in fact that I had one after breakfast today. I was pleased with my fortune and skipped over to show it to Thomas.

"We must be getting each other's fortunes," he said. I disagreed saying that my fortune was perfect for me. That was until he ate a cookie and showed me his fortune.

He's totally right.

Everything is something else. I can watch this animation short by PES over and over. I just love it. (Via Mighty Girl.)

Cooped Crusader

I saw this video on Dooce and had to share it. Thankfully, Henry and Lola are not nearly, by any stretch of the imagination, as crafty as this dog. Even his little friends in the cage are amazed in the end.
