The largest living thing on earth

Okay, this is pretty random.
I came across a snippet about it in Salt Lake Magazine, and then I just had to look for more information online.
The largest living thing on earth is a fungus. It's in Oregon and covers 22,000 acres!!! It's estimated to be 2,400 years old!

Read a quick article about it here.
This blows my mind, but it's so cool!

hello one of my new favorite websites

Room Service.
I hope to visit your real life store soon!

That's what Ellen said

Last night I was reading the Katie Couric's interview with Ellen DeGeneres in Glamour.
I loved Ellen's answer to this question...

Katie Couric: Do you find it disconcerting that there seems to be so much vitriol in society today?
Ellen DeGeneres: I try not to take it in. Let's take an example: someone who's antigay, who despises who I am. If I hate that person, I'm the same as them. Some people are closed and angry. If I can help shift that by just being who I am, great-and if not, that's not my job.

I've recently had a couple of mild attacks against my politics and my religious views. Sometimes it hurts, but I need to remember not to hate, because I do NOT want to be the same as the person who hurt me.
Thanks for the reminder Ellen! :)

Damn economy

Like pretty much everyone else in this country (and beyond), my paycheck has suffered a pretty big hit from the crappy economy.
I'm not complaining....I do have a job (or two). I'm just wishing my paycheck was a little fatter so I could attend this.

Happy Mother's Day!

To all you Mother's, Grandmothers, and acting Mother's out there.
I hope you have a relaxing, wonderful day!

Photo by me, are you sick of tulip photos yet? I went to a Tulip Festival, so I've got a lot of tulip pictures around here. :)

The Better Marriage Blanket

I emailed my husband this link and said this is ALL I want for my birthday. My birthday isn't until September though and I don't know if I can wait that long.

P.S. In case it isn't clear, I'm not the one with the problem. :)

Mod Golden Retriever

I am sort of obsessed with my Golden Retriever. By sort of I mean totally.
I love her more than I love a lot of humans. I also happen to own the cutest Golden Retriever on the planet. I don't know how I got so lucky, but I did. :)
Here is a picture of my Golden and my Weimaraner. I decided to show a picture of both my dogs so that it looks like I don't favor my Golden, even though I TOTALLY do. She's literally an angel, how could I NOT favor an angel?

I don't like to have Golden Retriever paraphernalia. I think it's weird to have pictures of some stranger's dog. I don't know that dog. I only want a picture of my own dog. It's like having a picture of some stranger's baby in your house. You don't know that baby. That's weird right?
But this is different. I totally want this Mod Golden Retriever print from ModDog's etsy shop.

I know....I've been MIA

Sorry, I'm feeling a little overwhelmed.
Two blogs and two real jobs.
I'm tired.
It will be better soon though. I'm just trying to figure it all out.
Thanks for being patient. :)

Pureology

I started using Pureology shampoo & conditioner at the first of the year. After almost five months I can tell you I am in LOVE with this stuff! It is freaking amazing. I have had more compliments on my hair than ever! I think it has made my hair so much healthier.
