Oh. Hi.


1. Have you listened to "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" covered by Greg Laswell? If you have not, stop what you are doing and click here. It's number 4. It makes my brain slow down, feel good and tired. He has a soothing voice. I kinda want to stand up and slowly twirl in circles, like I'm 4 years old again. Listen to it and close your eyes. You will feel the same. If not...then don't.

2. I have a harp in my living room. Yes, a beautiful, wooden, stringed instrument. I'm scared to touch it. It's too beautiful. Archimedes sits in front of it like he's its protector. He knows it's important and fragile. This is what it looks like, a Camac Korrigan in Mahogany.

The interest sparked while living in California with my Father and little sister one summer. We would frequent a weekly farmer's market that was within walking distance of our apartment. The three of us would wander, tasting the delectable treasures offered. My favorite, the different varieties of fresh peaches. Fresh flowers, handmade trinkets, local paintings, the freshest most delightful assortment of fruits and vegetables lined the streets.

And every Sunday a woman named Carol Tatum would play her harp. Electric even. I would sit on the bench directly across from her and stare and listen. She was beautiful and kind. She would play "Nothing Else Mattters" by Metallica and it sounded like a prayer from the heavens. I purchased two cds from her. She was kind enough to sign them.

At that point I knew I would learn to play the harp. It only took years, but the opportunity has risen and I'm grabbing it with both hands.

3. If it had not sold out, I would've bought this for my honey for V day. Ah, how etsy steals my heart and knows me so well. Sigh.



Yes, that is a Zombie Love Patch. He had to settle for these instead.



4. Speaking of food...my latest obsession has been this beauty.


Thanks to the food network and this recipe, I've found lemon curd. It's delicious and tangy and smooth and wonderful . If you are a lemon fan, I definately recommend trying it. These two recipes are going up next on the chopping block. They both look divine and reminescent of Summer, which we all need right now, right? If you have any recipes that include lemon curd, please let me know! I'm now addicted.



Mmmm..I hope those turn out as good as they look.

5. Again, speaking of food...




Coming to Draper, UT Fall 2009. All rejoice. Only my dear husband would find this lovely lego version.


6. I really want this shirt from Cafe Press. It's very subtle. And cute. Anyone else excited for this? I am.

7. Check out this wicked cool etsy site. My cutest name twin, aka the other Lisa Cunningham, has stated her own etsy shop. She is quite gifted. Her slouchy hats are adorable. She gave me one in a mustardy color for my birthday and I love, love, love it. It's awesome because so far I can wear it 3 different ways and they all look cute! I wore it to my little sis' play and felt very "warm and trendy", although Nate says both of those are things to avoid.

That's all for today.
