Valentines, Valentines...

Yesterday the girls at my office started this piece of conversation: a part from diamonds (which indeed are a girl's best friends but nowadays require that you're a spice girl and he's an Italian yacht tycoon), what kind of romantic gift can you receive that is both hearth-warming and budget friendly (let's say under $99)?

Sara came with this find:

we like it because: althought the price is a little bit higher than our budget ($899) the whole thing measures 11 by 7.9 by 0.9 inches — think an overstuffed business envelope — and weighs a mere 1.5 pounds. See it!

Bush Left a Note in Oval Office Desk

Following a longstanding tradition, President George W. Bush left a note to new President Barack Obama tucked inside the desk in the Oval Office. What does it say? On Tuesday morning before the oath of office was taken, White House press secretary Dana Perino wouldn't reveal the details, but did say, "The theme is similar to what he's said since election night about the fabulous new chapter President-elect Obama is about to start, and that he wishes him the very best." The letter was left in the top drawer of the Oval Office desk, which was crafted from timbers from the H.M.S. Resolute and given to the U.S. by Great Britain in 1879, reports The Associated Press.

-- Surround yourself with loyal friends. They'll protect and calm you and join in on some of the fun, and appreciate the history.
-- If you're traveling with your parents over Halloween, don't let it stop you from doing what you would normally do. Dress up in some imaginative, elaborate costume (if you are like us a pack of Juicy Fruit and a Vampiress) and trick-or-treat down the plane aisle.
-- And, a note on White House puppies--our sweet puppy Spot was nursed on the lawn of the White House. And then of course, there's Barney, who most recently bit a reporter. Cherish your animals because sometimes you'll need the quiet comfort that only animals can provide.

Their advice continues:
-- Slide down the banister of the solarium, go to T-ball games, have swimming parties, and play Sardines on the White House lawn. Have fun and enjoy your childhood in such a magical place to live and play.
-- When your dad throws out the first pitch for the Yankees, go to the game.
-- In fact, go to anything and everything you possibly can: the Kennedy Center for theater, State Dinners, Christmas parties (the White House staff party is our favorite!), museum openings, arrival ceremonies, and walks around the monuments. Just go. Four years goes by so fast, so absorb it all, enjoy it all!

we like it because: it's really the same advice we'd give to our best friends. Carpe Diem, time passes by - enjoy it all.

Red Carpet Suicide: A Survival Guide on Keeping Up With the Hiltons
Self-proclaimed “Queen of All Media” Perez Hilton makes his publishing debut with a hysterical pop-cultural satire about today’s insane celebrity-driven world.

Perez Hilton—founder of PerezHilton.com, the country’s most popular celebrity blog, and “one of the most polarizing media figures since Howard Stern” (L.A. Weekly)—cuts loose with a book that’ll secure his reputation as “the most hated man in Hollywood” (Rolling Stone).

Psycho celebrities dominate news, fashion, and trends, influencing how we speak, what we wear, and who we hang out with. We’re obsessed! Our gossip-driven world has set the barometer of what’s in or out. So, who are we trying to become and how do we become them? Post a grainy sex video online, drive high and wasted against oncoming traffic, flash for the cameras, and if that doesn’t work, attempt suicide and you’re bound to become a “Hilton.”

Now the man behind Hollywood’s most hated website—infamous for breaking raw superstar dish and jaw-dropping commentary—lends his fearless voice, notorious sense of humor, and outrageous sensibility to Red Carpet Suicide, the book celebrities have been looking forward to as much as their next DUI. Making sense of the madness and celebrity addiction that consumes us, Perez twists this irresistible and delicious guilty pleasure into a hysterically funny, shockingly true, and generation-defining survival guide.
