My anti-superbowl activities for tomorrow: I Heart Rummage, maybe seeking out some bubble tea, and hopefully purchasing some waterproof boots.

After our mostly unhappy large rug search last Fall, I really appreciate the stuff over at InterfaceFLOR - rug squares you can move and change around. The only bad thing I can think of is that you cannot get one of those super cushy rug pads to put underneath. Via anh-minh.com.

I finally got a salad spinner - the OXO Mini Salad and Herb Spinner which Ugly Green Chair tipped me off to ages ago. It's superteriffic - it is pump action and has a brake, and even has a rubber bottom for traction. Much less dangerous than the big red one I grew up with, that thing would get going so fast it would fly off the counter if it slipped out of your wet hands -- and there was no way to stop it, you just had to hold on until it slowed down. I think this is little salad love.
