Lonny Mag - First Issue

It was sad a few months ago when Domino magazine faded away into the night, but there is now something to replace it! This is an online magazine, which I've never seen before. I wish I had something to cut pictures out of, but hey its better than nothing and still so much fun to look at. Check it out at http://lonnymag.com/
I couldn't quite figure out how to post images directly from it yet, the technology is a little over my head...here is the direct link to one of the pages I liked.
Lonny Issue 1
My favorite thing I saw was this antler chandelier, its only $6000. Sheeesh! I do love it though.

Adventures at Fatburger

Fatburger Rules. And now my baby loves it too. She hasn't been eating much lately, I think as a result of her cough she's been fighting. But Friday night we went to Downtown Brea and this baby Fatburger may have snapped her out of it. Yes! I think FB is the best burger out there. I love In N Out also, but FB is still on top. Johnny Rockets is great too, but they are inconsistent. On a good day, they can definitely challenge Fatburger. I often think of doing a full on bracketed OC burger competition, but who has the time....maybe someday.

This is...

I wanted to share a couple sites that entertain me...very different subject matter, but both awesome in their own ways.

ThisIsNotIkea
The name says it all, this site has tons of cool vintage pieces. The only thing is you have to go down to the store in LA to actually buy the items. The site has everything broken down by style, or color, or type.
I have yet to make my way up there yet, but its definitely on my (long) to-do list.

This hexagon mirror is 80 bucks.

I like this cork lamp also, its 90 bucks.

This Is Why You're Fat
I came across this site one day while researching the Taco Nachos at Jack-in-the-Box. (quite tasty by the way).
Next time you feel like cheating on your diet, check this place out. You will feel like you pigged out on some serious grub. It will either satisfy your craving by just looking, or send you over the edge and into a pig-out frenzy, looking to deep fry everything in sight. This is at your own risk.

The Fat Elvis - Deep fried pb&j and banana sandwich sprinkled with powdered sugar

The Double Bypass Burger - 5 slices of bacon, 4 slices of cheese, 2 Fried Eggs, mayo, lettuce, tomato and onion between 2 grilled cheese sandwiches. Need I say more.

Crazy Beautiful

As I see Carys' personality unfolding, it is just the most exciting thing ever. She's starting to say words like 'kee-kee' for the cat, 'be-lee' for balloons, and of course Mommy! She likes to try on shoes, hers or mine. The other day at the Gap she grabbed a pink tutu and walked all around the store with it, so I'm thinking she will love to shop (who doesn't though, right?). I've been reading her goodnight stories for a while but now I can tell that she actually likes it. She kind of falls down a lot but she hardly every cries, tough girl! And she loves to dance. I just love my girly tough girl.

Blog love

Going out of town for a week, I didn't see any of my favorite blogs for a while. Which was completely OK, since it was fun to come home to lots of stuff to check out. Here are some of my favorites from what I missed.
(I'm still trying to find out how to post an actual link under a photo so you can link right to it. I don't know why I can't figure this out since it seems like such a basic concept!) Update: just kidding, i figured it out!
