It’s homemade soda season again! Remember this post from last year? Clementines, tonic water, boom.
I love you in Norwegian..definitely the corniest thing in our house.
Ugh
Trying to get out of helping me with laundry folding.
I ate this soup all week for lunch…it was good, but by Thursday I was having a hard time.
This Tabac scented candle is my new obsession…until I realized it’s a “crackles as it burns” candle…?!?!?!? Who thought this was a good idea!??!
Brought a defective banana…What gives Trader Joe’s?
Splurged on eggs from nearby Dutch Creek Farm. So delicious…not sure I’ll be able to go back to regular…
Nom.
I found my Pagekeeper! I know it sounds crazy…but it makes me read a bazillion times faster?! Finished The Interestings, now halfway through with this Jennifer Close book…pretty fluffball, but I’m having fun with it.
Have a great week all.

This week at work was crazy busy….two words for you: Book Fair. BOOOOOOOOO.
Of course I love that it allows me to have additional funds for my library, I do admit that it is one big pain in the you know what. I tried to brighten each day this week by reading Sleep Like a Tiger by Mary Logue, illustrated by Pamela Zagarenski. I love Zagarenski’s illustrations…they are to die. She also did this book, which is fabulous as well.
too much to do

I want to ask the question: how is it possible to be bored these days?
There is so much I want to do, read, see, make, eat, drink, watch, that at the end of every day I am left wishing I had a few hours.
I love this show and want to finish it, but also have this show and my favorite show ever starting back and I have still never seen The Wire, which let’s face it, I know I’m missing out big time.
I am reading this book, but also have another bookclub selection, and some books for work that I’d like to read…Not to mention the long awaited My Friend series that always just sits around waiting…
Then I get really overwhelmed when I start thinking about all the classes I want to do here…then I would also love to get back into running…then I would also love to cook every recipe on Sprouted Kitchen, Shutterbean, andhere.
Oh and I would also like to this restaurant, go to the Louisville Science Center to see this exhibit.
PLUS……I would love to plan/go on a vacation, take more photos, more motorcycle rides, blog posts to write, blogs to read, cocktails to make, yoga workshops to attend, and ETC, ETC, ETC, ETC.
I love how accessible things are these days and how much Louisville has changed since I last lived here. There are too many options and I love it…but it kinda makes my head want to pop off…please tell me I’m not alone?!?!
Oh wait…I guess I also have to work too….
bummer.
at least 30 in 2012…

I’m reporting in one my 2012 resolutions: to read at least thirty books in 2012. I barely made it with thirty exactly! Still working on two, but should be finished before the new year.
While I barely made it, I still didn’t read as much as I’d like and this exact same resolution is going on my list for 2013, but with a little twist.
Having a great morning so far. Drinking coffee with holiday candles & christmas trees. So excited for tonight’s Christmas with my parents, Andrew, and Kaylex (bro and sil). This will include lots of chicken pot pie, cocktails, and presents. However, I did get an early present from Andrew and my Dad yesterday morning:
Pull out shelves for the pantry! I’m ecstatic, they’re perfect!
Happy Holidays all!
My plans…

It is so hot I just want to stay in and read…or watch Breaking Bad…they say it’s supposed to break tomorrow…here’s hoping…
The show is so dark that I find this even funnier/cuter than the typical gag reel:

Anne Shirley - Anne of Green Gables
(L.M. Montgomery)
I love the entire Anne of Green Gables series of books, but I am also a super fan of the 1985 miniseries, originally broadcast on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
Megan Follows is the best Anne!
lots of “important” stuff to do today…

After a boisterous discussion last weekend at dinner and a recent tweet from HelloGiggles, I was inspired to pick up some beloved books from my childhood. Re-reading books you loved as a kid is so much fun!
a few things I have ready for future bubble baths:
Anyone else read these?
