Off My Game
Was off my game yesterday. After spending hours looking at different lighting options at Dial Electric (next to Marukai), I must have been overwhelmed. I don’t have a single picture of any of the lights we looked at. 🙁
Thanks to Kerri for her help and lighting advice.
What Is This?
Dear readers, need some help identifying this item. We think it’s baby-related but can’t figure out what it actually is.
Since this item now belongs to an newly expecting couple, I told them it was a breast pump. 😉
Design Tips from Hilton Los Angeles
An unplanned overnight layover in Los Angeles was not welcomed but a stay in the Hilton Los Angeles provided these design tips.
Travel Tip: No Sausages
Just a tip for the travelers. Don’t hand carry sausages on airplanes. If you do, expect delays at the security screening station. Must be those oblong, cylindrical solids look suspicious on the scanners. Doesn’t matter if it’s Portugese sausage or a salami, the TSA staff will want to look at your sausage.

Nice, FAT-ty Kicks
Pictures of some nice and FAT-ty kicks I spied.
Crowded Cream Market
Been to the grocery store lately? There’s a new coffee creamer trying to break into the crowded market dominated by Coffee-mate and International Delight. Look for Baileys Coffee Creamers (yes, that Baileys) and see if this new creamer can make it.
I tried the Original Irish Cream and thought it was okay. Baileys has a creamier consistency compared to Coffee-mate and International Delight, but nothing really set it apart.
Interestingly, the Baileys Creamers web site features an iPhone app called Coffee! The app costs $2.99 and displays various pictures of coffee (not associated with Baileys). Hmmm, I’ll pass on the app and will pass on any more Baileys creamer.
Victoria’s Secret, Shaved Ice, and Kettle Corn
Why yes, you can have Victoria’s Secrets, Hawaiian Shaved Ice, and Kettle Corn all in one spot.
Where Have the Ladybugs Gone?
The population of Ladybugs in North America is changing dramatically according to the Lost Ladybug Project. But I think I’ve discovered a new breeding ground. Look at all these Ladybugs! Â Yes, all those reddish specks are Ladybugs.
I submitted these pics to the Lost Ladybug Project to help with their data collection and analysis.
Kitchen Sink Notes
The consensus is resounding for kitchen sink selection. Stainless steel, one big partition with no divider. That’s it. The only wrinkle is over mount or under mount. When done well, an under mounted sink has a clean look, clean lines, and doesn’t detract from the countertop.
