Birthdays. Another excuse to make a wish list. But not just any wish list. A special wish list that’s compiled only once a year. On my birthday! (Full circle, people). It’s like a window into my soul.
Now, these aren’t necessarily things you haven’t seen before. These items, unlike most things, have stood the test of time in my mental list of things I’m convinced I need. Nor are they things I expect to receive on this holiest of days (August 9th, mark it on your calendar). Unless you have, say, $145 to drop on an original Joetta Maue embroidered piece for someone who probably doesn’t deserve it (within the last year, I think I’ve forgotten the birthday of everyone I hold dear. so make that definitely doesn’t deserve it). There is one thing on this list, however, that I DO expect. And if you’re the one who’s supposed to get it for me, you know who you are (Brian). Everyone else, let me introduce you to Pickles, the 1 1/2 year old domestic short hair above center. She is beautiful, and she will be mine! Her name is Pickles, for god sake. We were made for each other.

Sometimes the Shopping Sherpa just can’t help himself. Yesterday he found some great stuff for the walls of our man lodge, and today he’s back with some items for our desk and bar. Because what happens in a man lodge? Drinkin’ and Workin’.

On The Wall
When you’re trying to set up your own rustic man lodge, you’ll first need some pretty manly things for your walls. I’m thinking bones, and smoke, and lumberjacks (he’s my favorite).

Like a volatile lover, Chicago has turned cold again. But the freezing wind isn’t hampering my annual craving for peach sherbet. It’s just forcing me to eat said treat inside… while drooling over Etsy and its many candy-colored sweets.

I love pickles. In Jr. High, I developed a brand of pickles for a class project. I called them Tastums Pickles (pronounced TAYST-uhms). Lemme esplain.
