Last night I went out for beers with a bunch of suppa-creative girls from the world of Publishing & Television. We were out quite late (ouchie, my head). Everyone brought a bag of crafty supplies that they nolonger wanted. You know, scraps of fabric, ribbon, yarn, fancy papers, trim, books, etc. and we sorted through [...]

Cannelle Patisserie. Heaven. Love. Butter. Macaron. Napoleon. Croissant. Chocolate. Baguette. Choux Chantilly. I had the chocolate croissant and a macaron. We bought a baguette for later. Yum! Next time, I’m all about the choux chantilly…or the napoleon…or…well. You know. Another chocolate croissant. For lunch I’m going to use their baguette to try and recreate the sandwich I had at Le Grenier de Felix in Paris. Roast chicken, [...]

I love good tote bags. I bet I own 15. Really. It’s bad. Perhaps I need a 12 step program? Penny too. She especially loves the LL Bean totes I have. The minute one of the bags is empty – or slight empty – she hops in. LL Bean should just stop manufacturing & marketing pet beds. What discriminating cats [...]

One of my resolutions was to take more on-the-fly cellphone pics. This morning I took 3 pictures. The first picture is of a pile of walnuts (I think…) in a ditch. The park near us is filled to the brim with walnut trees. Park workers were raking them up and bagging them. Enormous bags of walnuts [...]

Is it just me? I feel like I spend too much time trying to organize things. I know this is normal – especially now. Every January everyone wants to start the year off fresh. That said, I feel like I’m constantly organizing papers and bits and bots and cats. Too many projects and interests I suppose. Yesterday I [...]

I proclaim 2010 the year of the mini dessert! To be honest, that kicked off 4Q 2009. With all the mini pie madness, mini banana bread and the chicken pot pies (not a dessert but totally delish!) it clearly has to continue into the new year. I think 2010 is going to be the year of [...]

I took these two pictures on Christmas Eve with my iphone. Totally untouched. Isn’t the light wild? The trees on the island across the way were so golden in the light that I had to run outside and freeze my tootsies to take these. I also love when the river is frozen. Remember my beret bender? This [...]

I fell off the blogging wagon again. Oops. Anyway, been around. Yanno, here & there. We went down to Florida for 4 days to escape the cold. So nice and sunny and hot! There was a little rain, but we didn’t let it dampen our good time. Did I mention the convertible? I’m still working on [...]

I bought a digital camera for a friend for Christmas. This friend has been especially helpful to me this year and I know she desperately wants a camera. Voila. Perfect gift to say “thank you and YOU ROCK”. Cameras need memory cards so I ordered a memory card from Overstock.com to go with the camera. [...]

Morten is ready to roll. He had some constructive criticism regarding my wrapping style. What can I say? Wrapping isn’t my thing – at least not in large quantities. Bet you didn’t know that round thing down below is a basketball! OK, you probably did know that was a basketball. Each kid ended up with about [...]

I have a case of the flumps, in case you hadn’t noticed. Flump. Flump. Flump. Just been blue for a bit. Flump. I’m hopeful I’ll find my zip again, it’s probably just stuck in the couch cushions or something. Flump. My only accomplishment over the last 4 days was cleaning out a cabinet. Flump. Penny says [...]

Morten’s posse is growing. Yeah, a bit of a bender at the toy store on Sunday. It happens. I’ve also got about 30 books for the kids at this point. It’s like I know people… Also picked up some treats for the Moms who didn’t ask for a thing. Need to get a few more Barbie outfits (she’s nothing [...]

“Hey, where are you?” asked Phyllis. A legitimate question. Here and there and I don’t know. I blogged voraciously, religiously everyday for almost 2 years. But lately, nuttin’. I don’t know. Busy. Things. Sleepy. Holiday. Stuff. Misplaced my zip. The only thing I can say that may be of interest is that Morten has entered my [...]

Hey, do you see something behind that big tree on the right? Someone hiding in my backyard? It’s Horsey! Maybe you remember Horsey from this post or this post? If you look close you’ll see Super Gay Andy out there too. He and Horsey hang out a lot. Here’s a closer shot of SGA… Wow, Horsey has gotten a [...]

Saturday was our 9th anniversary. I’ll spare you the romance. [you're welcome]. The Fiance bought me the sidewinder (it’s a sewing/bobbin thing) that I’ve been wanting…and I shaved my legs. Yeah, I’m awesome, right? I did attempt to apply fake eyelashes for Halloween. It didn’t go so well, only the middle part adhere’d. Still, I had [...]
