The Fatboy is a great alternative to the random bean bag chair. The colors are amazing and the thing is really comfortable (I’ve got one.) Now Fatboy has come out with an outdoor version. Can it get any better than this and what could be more fun than that hot turquoise? I think you could actually sleep on the thing if you were desperate but if not, just hang out around the pool or bring it inside and watch a movie. This is one F-word that I like.

Don’t know where I came across this amazing chair but it was in some equally to die for magazine. Of course this one happens to be sold but it has turned me on to a great website called MetroSofa.com. The strange thing about this is that I have really, really contemporary taste but that hasn’t stopped me from loving these footed wonders in amazing fabrics. They aren’t cheap but you can eat tuna fish for a month and just sit on great furniture. It’ll be worth it.

Everything Jonathan Adler does just physically pains me. Yes, I’m sorry to admit but I am back on the throw pillow obsession. I don’t needlepoint but this pillow makes me wish I did. How fabulous to take an old-ish art form like needlepoint and make it rock star cool with the seven deadly sins? Help. If you haven’t gone to The Parker Hotel in Palm Springs which Jonathan decorated, you need to. Really, the food is good too but the eye candy is divine. Check out the rest of Mr. Adler’s site for some divine inspiration.

I just got a great email from my friend, Merri Jill, telling me about a cool new site/concept.

Check out the 29 Day Giving Challenge:

The goal is to inspire at least 2,000 people (hopefully more) to give away one item a day for 29 consecutive days and share how the experience impacts
their life. Your 29 gifts can be anything… money, food, old sweaters, smiles, your time or kind words. You can start your own, personal challenge at any time.
WHAT’S THE POINT? To inspire more generosity on our planet. Because to see the world change, we have to do something to change the world. Plus, the best
way to attract is to give. GO TO http://www.29gifts.org/

Learn more and sign up for the 29-Day Giving Challenge. People taking part are saying the experience is truly profound and life
changing. P.S. If you join, I could make your life easy, I’ll register at Neiman Marcus (Merri Jill will register at Nordstroms)
and offer to be one of your recipients (Merri Jill says "just kidding", I do not say just kidding.)

The Four-Hour Workweek is changing my life. Just like a great mystery, I absolutely cannot put it down. Freakin’ smarty pants Timothy Ferriss just makes me insane - how can he be so young and come up with this stuff? Honestly, I am green with envy.

Timothy talks about streamlining everything - email, phone calls, ditching meetings, batching tasks, argh, it’s brilliant and I’m hooked. He talks about organizing your life around his principles so you can do more of what you want - essentially do what you’re excited about. It’s just magic and I might hate him if I weren’t so enamored with his brain. i’m not going to give away too much more because I want Mr. Timothy to get rich, rich, rich. Keep writing Mr. Ferriss.
