Why Do We Love Our Desks So Much?

How do creative people set up their desks? Aaron Trinder visited several offices to find out. Some are messy, some are fastidious. This is a very interesting short film about the desks of several famous people.

Desk - Music and Sound Design from Aaron Trinder Film:Motion:Music

My desk is rather like Einstein's.

Best Friends Say Goodnight

Here we are at the end of our first day together. Webster and Piggie only had a few rough spots and Piggie was the snappy one. It seems he doesn't care to share food and/or affection. Webster had his feelings hurt half a dozen times but he let Piggie be the alpha dog. That's the way he is, my Webster. We had four long walks and lots of lap time. Webster almost never goes near the sofa, until tonight. Can you see why?

Will he ever be the same again? Goodnight all.

A French Bulldog Puppy Comes To Visit

Meet Piggie. He will be our house guest for the remainder of November. Webster and I are so excited. So far, both dogs have been on their best behavior. The 6-month-old puppy is quiet, well behaved and very mellow. Webster and I are in love.

My routine has gone out the window for sure. It's either play time, nap time or lap time around the clock now.

I'd Love To Sleep Here Tonight

I've decided that this would be a wonderful place to sleep tonight. A real tree house with a room on the ground floor and a window too. The moon was only a sliver the last time I looked My moon tonight is almost identical to this one and my daytime sky looked very much the same with big puffy clouds. I'm sure I will have sweet dreams on my mattress stuffed with milkweed down. I hope the owls come and perch on the limbs of this magnificent beech tree and serenade me to sleep.

Small Kitchen Love

A very nice galley kitchen indeed; wouldn't you agree? I don't think I've ever seen a full cabinet like this in front of a sink without a wide apron top. It looks like a happy space. We are having a light rain at the cottage today . . . the kind you can walk in and not even care. Webster and I were out before 7am for a quick walk while the coffee was brewing. I'd love to spend the day in my pjs but can't because of my weekly office meeting. See you later.

Diane Keaton Interview on CBS Sunday Morning

She is hilarious. I watched this live on Sunday Morning and Diane Keaton made me laugh out loud. There is an ad you will have to watch before the video starts. Use this link if the video doesn't work.

Diane Keaton's Ups and Downs: How will Diane Keaton's performance in her new movie, "Morning Glory," measure up to her performance in "Annie Hall?" Katie Couric spoke with the Oscar winning actress on that as well as Keaton's Hollywood romances and her life raising two children.

An Amazing Kitchen

This kitchen might be a little too dark for me in real life but I really do love it. Do you think it's a trophy kitchen? It's probably in a NYC apartment where little cooking is done and it's always the cocktail hour. Viera thinks the paint color might be Hague Blue by Farrow & Ball. I wish I could peek around the corner and see more.

I'll be sitting at a public open house at one of my listings this afternoon. If only it had this kitchen.
