Retro desktop wallpapers

Morning, all. Hope you had a great Easter/Passover weekend. My parents visited from Minnesota and hit the road a bit ago for the nine-hour drive home. After a lovely weekend of fancy food, site-seeing, and Jersey Boys, it's back to business as usual (but with Rag Doll stuck in my head). To kick off the week, I freshened up my desktop with this orange wallpaper from Fossil. Check out their latest selection of vintage-style desktops here.

    I only recently started changing my wallpaper on a regular basis and these are beautiful! Right now, I'm on a Zooguu kick, though. They do a new calendar every month (http://www.zooguu.com/freestuff/wallpaper/index.html). No orange this month, though.

    They also make adorable plushies, each hand-made and custom, so you can get any of them in ORANGE!

    Thanks, Audrey! I'm pleased!

    Mum, bummer. Was it a kitten? A philodendron? A bag of money? I bet it was a coupon for 50 cents off Starbucks or a free keychain from the bank. I give up. Tell me.

    It was an empty Starbucks coffee bag.

    Oh, yeah, and it was worth a WHOLE CUP cup of Starbucks coffee!

    Wow, I was so close!

    I don't know why philodendron. It just popped into my head and my fingers blurted it out.

    Oh! The page at Fossil seems to have changed. These used to be the first or second item on the "Fossil • Life • Style" page, but now they're gone. Using the dropdown, the "Love our Graphics" menu item shows all their other wallpapers, but not these newer ones. I wonder where they went? Sorry!!
