Mediterranean/Italian appetizers, doggie cupcakes, drinks for humans and pups, and only a few prohibited dips in the ponds on Fritz’s end rounded out this warm, sunny, spring evening.
A benefit for the Kansas Humane Society.

Hot Colors.
These babies have really been an obsession since 1991, but they’re profiling this week in prep for my upcoming partay.
Lounge top in neon red, my favorite of the hot colors, and a subtle shade between hot pink and hot orange.
Pixi nail colours. It was a hard choice, but again, Vivid Coral won out over Summer Pink and the bright purples.
Fluorescent glitter = happiness, and all those shades!
From the craft cabinet at my mom & dad’s, a retro find of hot color glues that seemed totally relevant, and made me smile – that’s what hot colors are all about.
Hot color underthings, accessories and workout wear also integrate little pops of joy in daily life. Lots here.
Got ahold of some chalkboard paint for craft night and went all out on the chalkboard projects, chalkboard-painting everything I could get my hands on.
Only problem is that chalk art/lettering is more of an art than I thought.
After months of anticipation and preparation (seeing the ’70s movie version at our historic theater, participating in Big Read tie-in activities, making outlines for book club) this weekend I saw the new Great Gatsby movie with Tiffaini, in costume, naturally.

It has long been an axiom of mine that the little things are infinitely the most important.
I’m seeing Himalayan Pink Salt everywhere, even on the soap.
Last night’s speaking engagement: On Living An Adventurous Life
On several cold runs this winter the water in the hand-held water bottle would start to crystallize, shaken into mini ice cube shards. It was most refreshing to drink.
I’m sure this is going to be the next big thing in beverage arts - hand-shaken ice shards, crystallized over 10-miles in almost sub-zero temps.
Remember last year’s Chilean ice harvester who was busted for carving six tons of glacial ice out of Patagonia’s national park and selling it for fancy ice cubes? That totally piqued my interest about glacial water in the beverage industry, and March’s Outside Magazine had a whole story on this.
“In trendy clubs from New York City to Tokyo to Santiago, cocktails are mixed with glacier ice cubes and sold to patrons for $50 a glass.”
