Definitely Not Taking a Dip Now

So back in Austin, while canoeing on Town Lake (aka the Colorado River), I convinced Bushwoman that there were alligators in the water. Of course there were none, but it was all good fun.

The Potomac, in my mind, is equally unlikely to contain vicious man-eating beasts, but unfortunately I'm wrong - according to NBC Washington, a man caught an 8-foot bull shark in the Potomac southeast of DC. Eeek!

How Do You Really Feel About It?

So one of the things I like about Apartment Therapy is the comments. There are some true gems, and once you've been reading awhile, you think, I wonder what so-and-so will say to this post? I've actually seen comments saying they wonder what so-and-so will think, which is awesome. Today there was a great one, on a post about floor cushions:

I once mentioned to a friend that I hate sitting on the floor more than anything.

"Really?" he replied, "More than EVIL?"

My answer was yes.

I Love a Good Before and After...

...but in this case I love the before more. I was perusing realsimple.com this morning and came across some bedroom before and afters (I promise my bedroom is really almost done!), and the after just doesn't do it for me. I think I just like the colors of the before better, although obviously it does need some work. What do you think?
