Sick Day

I haven't been this sick in a LONG, long time.

Where's your mom when you need her?

If I could get out of bed, I would definitely 

give this a try.

Tusker was released from the hospital this 

morning and this is how I feel about it.

Get Well Soon, Tusk

Tusker is spending his second night in the ER tonight.

Needless to say, I'm a nervous wreck. Send good thoughts 

his way tonight, please! Get well ASAP, Tuskie.

Feel Better, Tuskie

My little Shih Tzu, Tusker, is a sick pup this week.

He's my baby, so it's breaking my heart. 

Get well soon, Tusker.

Million Dollar Decorators: Jeffrey Alan Marks

We've met Mary McDonald, but now it's time 

to admire the work of my absolute 

favorite designer on Million Dollar Decorators:

Jeffrey Alan Marks, a former model, a graduate 

of England's Inchbald School of Design (DREAM!), 

and one of the design all-stars on House Beautiful's 

Most Influential Decorators in American History list.

I love Mary's bold use of color from a design 

standpoint, but Jeffrey's subdued palate and 

rustic chic aesthetic is more in line with

my personal taste. Plus, he has the cutest English

lab you could ever imagine. She will make a cameo 

below, don't you worry.

There she is! Hi, Chessie!

I especially love Jeffrey's commercial work,

particularly the restaurants he's designed.

My secret career wish: to design restaurants and stores.

Ssh, don't tell my medical school interviewers!
