I love catalogs. I do. I have always loved them. I remember a game my friend and I used to play... we'd get the big catalog from JCPenney and we'd go through and "furnish" our dream houses. We'd write down or flag page numbers of bedroom sets, living rooms, kitchens, you name it. And slowly we'd build our dream homes...seriously, these were basically mansions!

Even now, when I get a catalog I have to flip through it a number of times before I feel like I've really looked at everything. Apparently I'm not the only one - I've realized lots of DIY bloggers use the catalogs for inspiration and ideas, which is great...

But haven't you ever looked at a catalog and wondered what they were thinking? Some of the layouts and accessories are just weird. They're just asking to be made fun of. Which is why I love this new blog, Catalog Living. I added it to my sidebar a few weeks ago, but I'm not sure if any of you ever check those out...

Anyway, it's funny and is the brainchild of Molly Erdman, an actor, writer, and all-around funny person. You may have seen her on Sonic commercials (also kinda funny). She basically creates these stories about "the exciting lives of the people who live in your catalogs."   Here are a few samples from her blog (as always, click to enlarge):

Love it! That one makes me think of a friend of mine- I am sure he would do something like that to be funny and/or passive-aggressive!!

Seriously...why else would you have a giant ball of string sitting around?

The last one is probably one of my all-time favorites. It makes me laugh every time...how ridiculous is it to tack pages to a wall?? Plus, it reminds me of a conversation N and I had about making a spare room feel homey for your guests!

If you haven't already checked out the blog, do it. Do it now. If you have, what do you think? Are you as amused by it as I am?
