Jeff for America

I got sick yesterday and my tummy felt like it had demons in it. When I finally threw up, I felt better.

And my hand is on my stomach…in case you were wondering.

A friend recommended this book for anyone looking for what makes them happy. I think we should all probably read it. Also, notice the amazing title.

Andrew ordered a cupcake on his way home from work and they gave him three for free. It was like a cupcake frenzy. For the record: red velvet was my favorite, which is why it’s not pictured here.

Driving through a rainbow is as much fun as it seems.

This is the other gem I picked up at the flea market last week. I’ve been looking for a nice piece of stained glass for a while now, and I really loved this. It was apparently from an old Victorian window in SF. Even if it wasn’t, I like to imagine it was.

I went to the flea market this past weekend and picked up these totally cool billiard balls. What’s so cool, you ask? They’ve got a hole drilled in ‘em and they are attached to a door ratchet. For now, they could replace any doorknob for a decorative look. But I have other plans…

This father and son were repainting the outside of their store this morning. The dad had to paste down this goal foil material and then the son had to quickly paint over it with his brush. There was gold foil flying everywhere because he kept missing, but it was a really sweet moment between the two of them. Maybe I’ll print it out and drop it by their store. Then again, might be creepy.

I’ve always noticed the clunky eye sores (see left picture) used by contractors to prevent skateboarders from wrecking havoc on public sidewalks and benches. Although probably necessary, they aren’t really aesthetically appealing, unless you’re into that sort of thing. So imagine my excitement when I saw turtles and starfish take the place of hanging metal along a stretch of the Embarcadero near the Ferry Building (see right picture). It is an artistic twist on an old idea. Art can be functional!

My mom came to visit me in SF and within the first 10 minutes she was wiping down the counters and doing dishes all the while on the phone with a friend. Typical mom.
