i'm a mad woman

So, I am OBSESSED with Mad Men on AMC. Specifically, I'm obsessed with Joan Holloway, played by Christina Hendricks. So sexy. I would love to look like this woman:



Meow, she is sexy. All the other characters are delightful as well, I just have a "thing" for the reds.

Anyway, I digress. So I want to be Joan. And thanks to madmenyourself.com, I can be:



This was my second go at my Mad woman. I liked the first one I did, but she just lacked some pizzazz I felt. Here's my first lady, featured with Jonathan's Mad man character:

decorating

I'm finally hanging my crap on the walls! (Not literally. Gross.)


Here's the series of things behind my loveseat. It was the main wall and it was all empty.



And here's the giant Chicago poster I got from my friend Catherine. It's HEAVY. I waited forever to hang it up bc I thought I needed help and stronger hooks. Turns out I had hooks and I didn't need anyone other than me, myself and I.

the strangest thing...

I was on my way back from dropping a friend off at the airport (6 in the am...it was earl-eye) when I saw the funniest thing.  There was a cat wandering around in the street, but obviously chasing something.  I thought it was a pinecone.  When I got closer, I saw the silliest, most animated-looking mouse.  No joke.  It looked like a teardrop turned on its side!  And it was moving on what looked like its tiptoes!  The mouse would move, then the cat would move, then the mouse would move again...I don't know what kept that cat from just pouncing!  There are pictures:



Here's the pair of them.


And the cat...


...and creepy mouse.
