Blog of the Day: Catalog Living

I thought Otas would love this blog but apparently she just wants everything.  I find them hilarious though….

Elaine wasn’t about to let some hot flashes get in the way of balancing the checkbook with the abacus.

Elaine was not amused by Gary’s passive-aggressive response to her request to “garnish the cocktails.

UPDATE:: so i thought the giant abacus was ABSOLUTELY ridiculous and that maybe this was an obscure decorating Norwegian catalog or something but CB2 currently has a giant color abacus in their online catalog- see here.
