teapot
I love this teapot set, it is so unique and minimalist, making it very cool in my book.
WARM Coffee/Tea Set Walnut (5 pieces)
Unfortunately, even though it is on sale, I still can't afford it. That and don't drink enough fine beverages to justify the purchase.

Some translation via babelfish to help decipher the map:

- Corée du Sud: South Korea
- un quart des inscrits dans le monde: a quarter of the registered voters in the world
- un tiers des inscrits dans le monde: a third of the registered voters in the world
- Despite its popularity in the U.S., Facebook was not listed in the Top 5 in Asia.
- Orkut's popularity
- Cyworld and where it ranked in S. Korea AND in Asia
- How unpopular myspace is in Asia.
What accounts do you have? Do you use them regularly?

what color walls?
The house has a itty bitty room, roughly 9ft x 7 ft. The previous owners use it has a nursery for their baby. But this is going to all change as I am going to use this as my (to me) gigantic walk in closet.
First I'll need to paint it. It is a currently a very saturated deep blue. Because the room is fairly small, I want to open up the room with a lighter/different color.
Currently, there are colors on almost ALL the walls, with the exception of the 2nd half bath. I plan on repainting the main bath eventually. I'm undecided as to what color I should pick. I personally love green tend to gravitate towards that. But will green be a good color for a closet/room? Should I stick with the traditional off-white? I've more or less narrowed down my selection to light colors with lots of greys in it.
What do you think? Help me pick one by selecting your choice from the poll on the right. Or leave a comment.

icy friday
Wore jeans this morning even though it wasn't jeans days. My slacks don't really go with my Target (Ugg knockoffs) snow boots.
Braved the traffic and went to the office this morning. Other than the two accidents on WB I-44, the commute wasn't bad at all.
Parked my car in the parking garage today as my co-worker is out on vacation.
Ran into the VP of Sales as he was heading to the big blue table with 4 dozens of donuts. Nom nom nom nom.
And at 9.30am, I received a mass email from the VP of HR, telling us that the Chairman/CEO is buying everybody lunch for making it into work today in such a lousy weather.
So far the day hasn't been too bad at all, which is good especially on a Friday.

curtains, round 2
On another note, I returned the curtains (see original post: curtains). After having them up for a month I decided they are definitely too short and a tad too dark for the room.
This morning I took them down, folded them, and headed off to Kitchen Toilet and More ('tis what I called Bed Bath & Beyond when I first moved to the States and can never remember the name of the store).
I also placed an order for two lighter color 108" panels, and to my delight they allowed me to use the same previous discounts for my purchase today.
These BB&B Newport 108" loooong window panels is schedule to arrive by mail in 2 weeks. I'm excited to see if these will turn out better.
