1. Phoenix Zoellick Illustration: Not only am I am completely smitten with her KABOOM illustration (above), but her snowboards and other illustration work is stellar, too.

2. Shit My Dad Says: Boy has dad. Dad says ridiculous, cranky dad things. Boy posts dad's quotes on social networking platform. Hilarity ensues.

3. Things My Boyfriend Says: Girl has boyfriend. Boyfriend says hilarious, sardonic boy things. Girl posts boyfriend's quotes on open blogging platform. Hilarity ensues. (Thanks, Kitty!)

4. How To Make Your Own Brick Pizza Oven: I pity you non-Italians, who can actually consider building this as much as I have without becoming a walking, talking-with-my-hands stereotype. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to position these stone lions out on my front lawn...

5. Tips On Making Tea: I don't drink coffee, but anyone who knows me knows that I like tea A LOT. Like I could substitute it for oxygen. I am going to be one of those crazy tea-ladies when I get older. Actually, I already am. Who am I kidding? More Oolong?

6. Running For Roz: On Wednesday, May 20th, 2009, Lt. Roslyn Littman Schulte (Roz) was killed in Afghanistan when her vehicle drove over an IED that was buried under the ground. In honor of her memory, her friends are participating in the races at the United States Air Force Marathon on September 19, 2009, and donating the funds to the Roslyn Schulte Memorial at the United States Air Force Academy.

7. Jobpic: Do you have a unique, odd or special skill, or are you seeking someone who does? Jobpic is a site that lets you connect with those offering a ridiculously wide range of services, from French translation, to a Cornhole set? Get your mind out of the gutter, it's not at all as dirty as it sounds!

Finally, in honor of my wedding tomorrow (AH!!!), one of the best ceremonies I have ever seen:



So long folks! Next time we chat, I will be a married lady! ;)
