Got the magazine yesterday and flipped through it. Pretty as usual, but I'm just the opposite on the seascape decor. I guess maybe it's because I've never lived around water or had any desire to (I can't even swim!). The soft colors of beige and white and gray have always been favorites of mine tho. Just didn't feel like the magazine was worth the $11 this time, but I had to have it all the same. I had tea an hour ago and completely forgot to grab the magazine on the way out to the garden. I think I'll go sit in the library with it now and relax.

I saw one this week sipping from my pink formosa azalea bushes. I thought at first it was a bumble bee, but no, it was definitely a hummingbird, I've never seen one this early, usually I don't see them till mid summer so it was a shock to see it. I've not seen any since, but the tangerine crossvine is blooming on the front of my house and I've put out a hummingbird feeder so if there are any more, there is food for them. I was going to remove the crossvine this year (the orange flowers don't compliment my house), but seeing that hummer this early made me immediately change my mind.

I saw the photos online on Friday afternoon. HUGE cake, but I like the design. There were something like 600 people invited to the reception, so they needed a massive cake!

I've seen parts of it so I knew what the premise was. I'm usually doing something else so I don't really pay too much attention to commercials (except the Kia commercial saving the wales, melting ice caps, tree huggers, etc - hilarious) but I have always liked Dean Martin so it catches my attention for audio if nothing else. You want to see an outrageously funny German commercial look up the couple in the car with the floor shift and the woman needing glasses. You don't need subtitles for it either so it's an effective commercial too.
