soap.com
this is an online store where you can get stuff like toilet paper, toothpaste, shampoo - delivered to your house. it’s free 1-2 day shipping over $39, they have all the common brands, and everything is on par with target pricing, if not a bit less. it’s also tied to wag.com (pet stuff) and casa.com (home goods), so it’s rull easy to get to that free shipping...

the great DC house hunt
bobby and i recently decided that we’re ready to buy. i’m tired of paying what we do in rent for 700 square feet, and it seems like we’ll be in the area (and you know, together) for the immediately foreseeable future. our requirements: • 2+ bedrooms • 2+ bathrooms (i’ll take 1 1/2, but i’d prefer 2 full) • dog friendly, obviously • easy parking…a space,...

fleurir chocolates
i’ve blogged about fleurir chocolates very briefly before, but now that they have retail space in georgetown they definitely warrant a post.
long story short, my friends robert and ashley make chocolate. really, really, incredible, beautiful chocolate, in amazing flavors and combos. they also happen to be married, and the coolest people ever (the whole chocolate thing helps, of course)....

chipper jones to retire after the 2012 season

the art of stressing yourself out
• wake up with no real agenda except to attend work and eat meals. • take out the dog, get dressed, pack lunch, stop at starbucks. • eat breakfast, casually check work email. • get rue la la/gilt/hautelook emails. worry will miss something awesome so look at every page. • find a rug that you like. realize that in your 700 square foot apartment, there is no room for a new rug. bookmark the rug on...
