Monday Stuff On the Way to Other Stuff: The Celebrity Edition

Maybe it's inspiration from the Oscars...but I seem to have collected a bunch of celebrity references this week. We didn't watch the show. (No cable, and we're working through 24 episodes right now, getting ready for the upcoming show. Just finished Season 3.)
     The sun is shining, snow's nearly gone...and it's time to plant spinach. Meanwhile:

Harold Ramis died. I've admired this brilliant, geeky guy for decades, ever since Ghostbusters.



Bess Flowers also died recently. Don't recognize the name? She appeared in more than 350 films -- as an extra or bit player. She apparently was admired by many celebrities.

Oscar gowns.  The show seems silly (although ordering pizza is an interesting bit!) -- but I do enjoy seeing what people choose to wear to this shindig. 

Frugal celebrities - a slideshow. Nice to hear  Here are more. (Okay, some repeats.) More here, too.

Dogs with sad, sad faces. (A photo gallery) Charley and Abby could teach these guilt trippers a thing or two. 

Slow-cooker breakfasts? Yup, seven easy crockpot items, thanks to Betty Crocker.

Something mysterious found under Fort Alcatraz -- a fortress thought to be long-destroyed. While you're at it:

The latest 67 archeological discoveries around the world...including the oldest footprints found outside Africa, and some artifacts connected with King David!

The prettiest little cabin.  And movable! (Well, maybe after that flat tire is fixed.)



Donna Freedman's stocking up -- and for good reason. (It saves money, too, when you get the stuff on sale.)

The complete guide to Hacking IKEA -- how-tos and easy methods for painting, staining, stitching and decoupaging those inexpensive furniture pieces from IKEA. (Courtesy of Apartment Therapy.)

The sun's shining, again -- maybe it really is spring.
