The Real Story On Matt’s New Blog
Matt stared his own blog, ”Stuff KK Won’t Let Me Put On Our Blog.” He may say it’s because I won’t let him put stuff on this blog, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Last night he asked me to show him how to post photos to our blog. About 16 steps into it (and when his note taking was getting out of control) he gave up. Said it was too complicated. So I introduced him to blogger.com where it’s as simple as simple can be. There. Now everyone knows the truth. Matt doesn’t like Expression Engine and I don’t like Illustrator. Good thing we have each other.
Tax Season Sucks
I tried to look for a word to describe how I feel about tax season and couldn’t find the right one. So I choose all of these: Insane. Mental. Nutty. Bananas. Loco. Furious. Irate. Enraged. Incensed. Ape. Livid. Frenzied. Manic. Insane. Bonkers. Batty. Fuming. Wild. I felt all of these things today when I asked my tax guy what I thought was a simple question and he responded with an answer using the tone a smart ass would use when saying the word, “DUH.”
Busted and Naked
In preparation for their upcoming shoot, Matt and Keith designed t-shirts featuring their celebrity talent, Erik Estrada. But after they placed the order on Zazzle.com, they received this e-mail reply: “Thank you for placing an order with us. Unfortunately, your order has been canceled because it contains content that is in violation of United States copyright and/or trademark laws. Specifically, your order contains a product with an image in violation of Erik Estrada’s rights of celebrity/publicity. No funds will be charged to your credit card.” Since the e-mail arrived, my clothes- obsessed husband has been pacing his closet in total confusion.

Textile Tension
I’m the kind of girl who would rather have exactly what she wants or not have anything at all. Case in point: this fabulous fabric you see pictured here has been stuck in my head for almost a year. I want it for our dining room chairs and the price is extremely high, even with our buyer’s discount. It’s from Schumacher. Any ideas on how to get something close to this AND keep my husband?
An Idea That Sticks
Unless you’re living under a rock, you know there’s a writer’s strike going on in Hollywood. Matt’s copywriter partner’s brother is a writer for Desperate Housewives. So they came up with an idea to help promote solidarity: a pin that is a pencil in the shape of a support ribbon. They’ve also created a website Bring Back The Dialogue.com that features posters, photos, t-shirts and other stuff regarding/supporting the strike. Tell everyone you know about this and show your support. Because if LOST or THE OFFICE gets canceled, my life is over.
Volunteering For A Science Project
Matt checked himself into a Sleep Clinic for the night and here are the photos he sent me from his computer. He looks like a science project. Hopefully the doctor will tell him the reason why he’s tired all of the time is because he works more than he sleeps.
Matt Has Fashion Sense
Matt showed up to work today wearing the same outfit as Molly and Emily. Coincidence or fashion ESP?
