The brand-new New Yorker is ALL MINE!
(He has the right to first crack at it; I get the weekend New York Times.)

Huh
According to the New York Times, Greenpoint is the fifth most "livable" neighborhood in New York!
Who knew?
In the article someone describes the area as “Not the most aesthetically pleasing. There are nice bars and restaurants, but it’s kind of dirty.”
Um . . . that pretty much describes my life!?

Found!
Awesome (?) stuff on the sidewalk in a box:
OXO pizza cutter.
Calphalon baking pan (a bit shabs, but still).
Utensils!
Plus:
Old-fashionedy cheese slicer, made of two pieces of wire.
And...
Pepperell "fine muslin" green-striped sheet! In package!
Am I the luckiest girl in the world, or WHAT.

Roast!
Lamb.
Also: miniature.
Greg bought it at the farmers' market and he cooked it up for Sunday dinner.
Thank you Greg!!
Quiz: Are you me?
When you look at this scene, you think:
a) Oh, huh, cars. Boring.
b) OMG A PENCIL!!
B = you are me.
And isn't it wonderful?
Change of season
Once in the springtime when I was a little kid I wore my snowpants to school on a really warm day. I had been wearing them all winter—every day for months—and a conservative impulse won out over the fact that it was approximately 15 degrees Celcius.
I got to school and everyone was wearing jeans and t-shirts. Yep, everyone except little Becca, who was shuffling along in her snowpants feeling like an idiot.
This guy has the same problem.
It may be April but he is not ready to shed the woolens.

Homeless in Montreal
Living in a roasting pan in a bus shelter.
Someone please take him home and give him love (after treating him for bedbugs)!!
(Thank you Chris and Claudine for alerting me to this needy case!)

The best-ever object EVER
It's not too often that I see something and my hand just reaches out and grabs it.
I saw this on a shelf at Goodwill and next thing I knew it was under my arm (then I took the banana peel out of it).
Is it not perfect?
Take a minute to appreciate the design and workmanship!
The perfect cherry red. Asymmetrical perfectly modeled folds. White trim and sole. No visible seam, no chips or cracks. Unused.
I am going to treasure this Santa boot planter for the REST of my LIFE!!

Little bear
I really wanted to rescue him from the flea market!
The first thing I would have done is take that button off him so he could scarmper around in his underpants like a bear should.
Note to self: sometimes you should just spend the twelve dollars.

Landlady II
You may recall that she had our kitchen floor replaced for no reason.
Well, two weeks ago, during that big rainstorm, we had a leak in the ceiling of our bedroom. Now workers are in the process of replacing THE ENTIRE ROOF.
Furthermore. We had been having a problem with our toilet, namely that something seemed to be blocking the pipe. Last week...a plumber came...and removed our toilet...and installed a brand-new one!
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

Rainy Tuesday night
Me and this dog had the same idea.
Check out the spring collection at H&M!
I like her raincoat.

I feel we have a lot in common.
