Diving into a bowl of cherries

I love eating cherries, but I normally don't get them because they're quite pricey.  Imagine my delight when today's paper showed cherries on sale!

Horray!

OMG(litter)

Look at Crafty Chica's diy floor.  Isn't it amazing?
It's time for a dance party!

Maybe one day I too could have a girly, glittery room.

Circus Smirkus

Here's a confession:  I dislike clowns.

I find them quite scary.  They like playing tricks on you.  They wear garish clothing.  They have oddly proportioned bodies.  Plus, they wear tons of greasepaint, so I can never tell what they actually look like.


Yet, even this self proclaimed "clown-aphobe"* couldn't help but feel inspired by Sam Ferlo's story.  He's a 14 year old clown-in-training who wants to follow in his dad's very large footsteps. (See this NY Times article for info and photo.) 

Perhaps they're not scary after all?

If you're in the New England area, you can see Sam and other talented kids performing here.
 
* The official term describing a fear of clowns is coulrophobia
