reading:
almost 600 pages of deliciousness that are going to make me fat add so many items to my to-cook list that i’ll never finish:

started this in 02 when i nannied for one baby. turns out, you have a lot less time to read on the job when the second baby comes along. anyway, i finally got around to picking it back up last week, just in time to be invited back to my old nanny job for new baby #3 and an “1100 square foot guest house with my name on it”. it really is tempting. but i need to finish the book this time guys:

sniffing:
wait til they go on clearance, you get them for like $5

seriously, if you have allergies, get some of this stuff and try it for 2 weeks. since i started working from home, my dog allergy has gotten worse from being exposed to it more. from about october-january i couldn’t sleep through the night without waking up to sneeze and blow my nose. i tried air purifiers, antihistamines, sudafed - nothing worked. couple days of this stuff, and i don’t sneeze at all and only take my antihistamine every now and then. brian’s dad, who is allergic to everything and has had years of allergy shots also tried it and is having great results:

drinking:
sorry, fido, you got one-upped. not only is the coffee at crema delicious, i bet their internet connection is better, and i don’t have to look at everyone i went to college with doing things like networking or talking about synergy among team players who think outside the box. i went to college with some oh-so-important people, none of whom have been spotted at crema. plus, mon-fri happy hour 3-5pm $2.50 for a cookie and coffee! YAY!

admiring:
speaking of crema, friend ours has some art opening there this weekend. free coffee, wine and cheese from 7-10pm friday night. i heart this picture:

attempting:
homemade ravioli. i’ve got the ravioli stamper, and the pasta machine is on the way. wish me luck…

getting sucked into:
goodreads.com - keep track of what you’re reading and see what your friends are reading…this is the only form of social networking i can condone

tastyplanner.com - haven’t used it yet, but i’m sure it’ll suck up a few hours this weekend.
