Lazy Day

I found this here and really want to go to the shop to buy a bag of M&M's to try it out.

Survival of the fittest M&Ms

(from someone who definitely has too much time on their hands)

Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels.

Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them cracks and splinters. That is the "loser," and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round.

I have found that, in general, the brown and red M&Ms are tougher, and the newer blue ones are genetically inferior. I have hypothesized that the blue M&Ms as a race cannot survive long in the intense theater of competition that is the modern candy and snack-food world.

Occasionally I will get a mutation, a candy that is misshapen, or pointier, or flatter than the rest. Almost invariably this proves to be a weakness, but on very rare occasions it gives the candy extra strength. In this way, the species continues to adapt to its environment.

When I reach the end of the pack, I am left with one M&M, the strongest of the herd. Since it would make no sense to eat this one as well, I pack it neatly in an envelope and send it to M&M Mars, A Division of Mars, Inc., Hackettstown, NJ 17840-1503 U.S.A., along with a 3x5 card reading, "Please use this M&M for breeding purposes."

This week they wrote back to thank me, and sent me a coupon for a free 1/2 pound bag of plain M&Ms. I consider this "grant money." I have set aside the weekend for a grand tournament. From a field of hundreds, we will discover the True Champion.

There can be only one.

Audrey

I have a huge admiration for the work of Audrey Hepburn. Sabrina, Roman Holiday, Funny Face and, of course, Breakfast At Tiffany's. I came across several quotes from the wonderful woman herself and also some comments made by peers and co-stars.

- "Let's face it, a nice creamy chocolate cake does a lot for a lot of people; it does for me."

- "The best thing to hold on to in life is each other."

- "Look, whenever I hear or read I'm beautiful, I simply don't understand it . . . I'm certainly not beautiful in any conventional way. I didn't make my career on beauty."

- "I never think of myself as an icon. What is in other people's mind is not in my mind. I just do my thing."

- "I don't want to be alone, I want to be left alone."

- Cynthia Rowley: "She was the first to make something that's not sexy, sexy."

- The New York Times: "Thanks to their first glimpse of Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday, half a generation of young females stopped stuffing their bras and teetering on stiletto heels."

- Isaac Mizrahi: "One got a sense that Audrey Hepburn didn't know how beautiful she was. There was never another movie star like her."

These quotes from, and about, Ms. Hepburn were found here.

I heart these earrings, and for those of you who agree with me you can buy them here.

Bathroom Breaks

I spotted this over at notcot and think it's a great idea.

A Polaroid camera instead of a mirror, to let you know exactly how you look. It might not be suitable for everywhere, or be cost effective but it is nifty!

Nifty is my word of the day.

They're just really sweet images.

I am in love with these cut-out outdoor benches, created by Arktura..

The pink one is called Coral and the orange is Hive and they can be used as benches or tables depending on your needs.

Great t-shirt prints

I stumbled across these t-shirt designs this morning. Aren't they fantastic?

I really love the kitten and puppy one.... Wouldn't it be just the sweetest springtime print to put onto the back of a button-down fitted shirt?

I wish I knew who to credit these to but the website was in Russian and I wasn't able to translate it but you can find the page HERE.
