Vocabulary Lesson

Matt and I recently had a debate about the true meaning of both of these words:

Philistine:

a person who is lacking in or hostile to or smugly indifferent to cultural values, intellectual pursuits, aesthetic refinement, etc., or who is contentedly commonplace in ideas and tastes.

Nonplus:

to render utterly perplexed; to puzzle completely.

All I'm saying is, for the last 10 years I've been using "nonplussed" as a synonym for "underwhelmed." Who knew?

PINK

Furniture Craving

I've been really, really wanting a glass or lucite coffee table for our living room.
