merry christmas to me

hello everyone.
i just bought myself a terrific christmas gift. i've had my eye on a few first editions of julia child's "mastering the art of french cooking" (volume 1) for months and months. today i decided i'd buy both volumes 1&2 new from amazon, wear them out, use them, age them, and hand them down to my daughters and granddaughters one day (if that is how life plays out). and the thought of this has made my afternoon.

life is good these days. right now i have about 16 projects going, none completed. a half painted bathroom, a 3/4 completed wreath, and an apartment smack in the middle of being home-ified. lots of plans are incomplete as well, but that's just taking up space in my head, and not on my dining room table (like all the piles of glitter, pine cones, and felt..eek).

last night i finally received some prints from jared and maria's wedding. having this picture up in my house is joyous.



also, i would like to recommend nellie mckay's new album. the entire album is a tribute to doris day, and it is SASSY and festive.


happy sleet day, guys.

Great gift. Have you seen the 'Julia' movie yet?

I was wondering if you'd read/saw "Julie & Julia" too :) If so, did you like it? I'm on the fence.
