Cool Things

I would love it if I woke up to this on my desk.

Granted, I would then have to ask myself how it happened.
Either a) my house is haunted (which we have already lived in one, and given that I am scared of everything that goes bump in the night, I don't want to go through that again...)
or b) my husband was seriously that bored when he was up early studying for his pharmacy school finals. Think he'd just come back to bed...

Either way, this photo rocks.

Really cool things I'd most likely break

in , ,

So this one is just a random post, but I was perusing fredflare.com and came across 3 things that I think are completely awesome, but that I would break in an instant- simply because I would think they were unbreakable. Wondering what I mean?


Example #1 - glass "plastic bottles." Love them. They are so cool! But... I can already see myself knocking it off my desk as I type and for a split second thinking, "it's cool, it's plastic, it won't break." then hearing the crash and remembering "oh that's right. It's actually glass. great."


Example #2- the porcelain coffee cup fashioned after the ever so lovely white plain paper one. I know it would be heavier, but I think sheer habit would have me tossing this into a corner trashcan only to freak out, hope it didn't break, and be forced to dig into a public trashcan. That, or suck it up, realize that wasn't the smartest thing I would have ever done, yet refuse to reach into a public trashcan and then be forced to sulk about how it kind of defeats the "not filling up the landfill purpose" if I just throw it away anyhow. :)


And example #3 the glass creamer-which, yes, I should be able to not break simply because it is obviously glass. But I bake (a lot) and drop things (a lot) and can just see this crashing from my hands as I try to grab "just one more thing" from the frig. This isn't to say I don't want this. I actually think this is precious and might just have to take the chance :)
