Take Care of Your Things @The Tiny Twig {it’s not about Play-Doh}

Perfect and Beautiful Have A Conversation @ A Barefoot Day ( I adore this photo)

Random Thoughts:

Does anyone else feel weird about the magazine title Real Simple?  I always feel like it should be called “Really Simple”. I mean, I know it’s probably grammatically correct and all, I’m sure they got it all checked out before they called it that and it’s probably not even supposed to be a phrase but more Real and also Simple, but every time I see the title I get a little twitch.  Kind of makes me think of two Southern fella’s having a conversation:

“That’s a real nice transmission there, Bubba, was it hard to put together or was it real simple?”

Have you watched/read/heard about the Pinterest debates? Posts like this and this and this?  If not, you probably will.

But then I’m gently reminded of this and this and this {if you want a little wordy} . I really don’t know what to think about it all.  But I do know this, the only way to guarantee something won’t be abused is  to not put it online.  Wait, that doesn’t guarantee it at all.  The only way is to keep your idea hidden away so no one will ever steal it.

In other news, there’s this::

I really like what Jeff Goins has to say about clutter,  I’ve always thought of a little clutter as a fun, quirky part of my life, you know– part of the art of creating, a necessary evil ok, maybe it is a bit of a crutch…

Here’s a little blurb from his post Your Clutter is Killing Your Creativity be sure to click to read the entire post, it’s worth it.

“The relationship between clutter and creativity is inverse. The more you have of the former, the less you have of the latter. Mess creates stress. Which is far from an ideal environment for being brilliant.”

he goes on to say…

“Jack White has an interesting philosophy on creativity. He believes less is more, that inspiration comes from restriction. If you want to be inspired, according to Jack, then give yourself boundaries. That’s where art blossoms.”

Kind of reminds me of this.

Have you ever visited The Most Interesting Man in the world website?  You know the guy from the beer commercial? With quotes like::

Both sides of his pillow are cool.

When in Rome, they do as he does.

People have made up their own quotes and put them in the comments here are some of my favorite::

He can count to infinity

He has won the lifetime achievement award…twice.
Once, the eye of a passing hurricane winked at him.
His mother has a tattoo that says SON
he found a needle in a haystack, blindfolded
His business card says I’LL CALL YOU…
Women leave the seat up for him.
On Halloween the neighborhood kids bring him candy
When he arrives late for a concert, the band starts over.
His word is worth a thousand pictures
He once lead a horse to water, and made him drink.
Objects in his rearview mirror are exactly as they appear

 When he was born, he slapped the doctor.

ohhhhh, it’s so funny! I hope you have a weekend full of laughter~
