The Intersection of Design & Motherhood
By Carter.
Hah! The idea the of a napping T-Rex just slays me. That was my first thought when I stumbled across Steven Weinberg and his watercolor show, Important People Drinking Coffee. I wonder who you would pick, if you got to have coffee with one of those so-called important people? I think I would go with June Carter Cash…on a front porch, on a dewy morning. Or maybe Will and Kate, with fancy coffee mugs and cookies!

I find the Georgia O’Keeffe one HILARIOUS because I’ve often thought that coffee art looks kind of… umm… suggestive. Just like her paintings!
Ha!
Have you watched “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee”? It’s a thing Jerry Seinfeld does with other funny people and man it CRACKS me up. Especially the Brian Regan episode. Alec Baldwin was pretty good too. http://www.crackle.com/c/Comedians_In_Cars_Getting_Coffee
Oh man. Such a good time for a Friday funny!
Really had a good chuckle over the T Rex one, too! Happy weekend. :-)
Love the Cookie Monster one – my maiden name is Cook, so he’s always been close to my heart.
