Jan 2

We had a safe, uneventful holiday season, and I have to admit, I’m really glad it’s over. I don’t like the disruptions, which makes me rather a scrooge, I know. I just wasn’t into the season this year. I’m also very, very cranky about the tv strike and I’m going to pout until it’s put right. That’ll show ‘em. :)

I finished the last Harry Potter. I loved it. I keep thinking about it. Rowling is brilliant.

We also went to see Charlie Wilson’s War, which I loved. I was engaged every minute, and I think Phillip Seymour Hoffman should get an Oscar for his performance. I’m also totally buying the soundtrack.

Only 9 more days till Sweeney comes near! Whoo Hoo!

And I’ve been struggling like mad to come up with what my hero sounds like in this new book, and today in the shower it hit me. Yay!!! I simply can’t write until I hear them. Now, I can.

News? Presents you loved? Movies I should catch? Soundtracks to rec?

    My favorite X-mas gift. Dh signed me up for a twelve week cooking class. I’m really excited about it, since I’ve been wanting to take a ‘full’ cooking class that covers everything from salads to baking. :) It starts on Tuesday night.

    Go see “The Great Debaters.” Not perfect, but very wonderful. Denzel did a great job directing.

    I got a big Kitchenaid! I was very excited :) and it is even red–my favorite color :)

    Does Dotes know you are taking showers with your heros now?

    movies–I am bad I always wait until I can watch them at home…unless it is something that is big screen improvements…like really cool effects…

    I start traveling again next week…not sure if I am ready or not…I have loved the last couple of months at home it has been great…although San Diego this time of year will feel like a heat wave! I AM SO READY FOR SUMMER!!!

    Jordan! I’m so jealous. I’ve taken one mini cooking course, which I loved, but man, would I love a full on course. What a fabulous gift. Your hubby deserves many bonus points. :)

    Gina - it’s on our list. I’m also anxious to see Juno.

    Glenice - Dotes has no worries. Our shower is barely big enough for one person to turn around, let alone two. I hear you about summer. It’s very cold and snowy here. Very. But how nice that you’ve had a couple of months to nest. As for the Kitchenaid? I’m green with envy. Of course, it would have to be stored on the ceiling, considering the kitchen space I have, but it would be worth it. Use it well!
