Front Page!

I know this is not a BIG deal, but it makes me happy.... My Etsy treasury list made it to the Front Page! :) Claps all around. If you have any desire, you can see it here.

Trake him!

I was reading an article on Chinese food today, and Chef Ming Tsai was talking about making Peiking Duck, he said "My favorite thing is to eat the spicy food. My favorite thing to cook and serve is the Peking Duck because it’s a labor of love, a 48 hour process and the most outrageous cooking technique I have ever seen. You’re essentially giving a tracheotomy to a duck. It really works. The fat does cook all off, and you’re left with a delicious, lacquered crispy skin and then the meat." I think I just fell in love with this guy (even though he is married with children) he, unwittingly just combined two of my most favorite things... cooking and House. Read it for yourself here.

New Eyes!

Tomorrow I get my new Eyes! (Well, not necessarily new... just vastly improved) I went running this morning in my glasses, it was not one of my better decisions. When they weren't bouncing off my face, they were fogging up because of the cold. :/ But, as of tomorrow at 9:20 I wont ever have to suffer through that again. Oh the joys.

Am I a nervous that they are going to use a laser to cut open my eyes then shoot more lasers into my eyes to fix them.... a little, but it will be sooooo worth it!

As if I needed another excuse to read....

In the words of a friend of mine, Let me introduce you to my new boyfriend…Kindle. There is a new love in my life and I want to tell everyone about it. We met on my Christmas, and it was love at first sight. Kindle takes me places I've never been before, makes me laugh, cry, and think about things I've never considered previously. I can't wait to get done with work so we can spend time together, and cuddle up in bed together. Kindle has changed my life!

After discovering the joys of the Kindle App for my phone a year ago, taking books with me everywhere got a whole lot easier. If I was stuck in traffic, or a line, or where ever I could just take out my phone and PRESTO! a book! The only down fall to reading on your phone is that it is soooo small! As I was visiting my Dear Sweets in Provo this summer, Leslie showed me her Kindle, told me how great they were, and my eyes turned green (well, more green than they already are) and I started thinking about buying a REAL Kindle.

Then on Christmas morning after everything was opened up, my mom said she forgot to bring something out, she went back to their room, and came out with a KINDLE for ME! I squealed like a little girl and did a very enthusiastic "Happy Dance". It was a complete surprise, I didn't get many "wrapped presents" because my Birthday/Christmas presents this year is Lasik, but when my mom brought out that little box I felt like I was a little girl again getting my very first pink bike. It was great.

Because of my app, I had plenty of books ready to put on it and enjoy. I spend the majority of Christmas day cuddled up in my pajamas on the couch with my new love.

Today I ordered a pretty skin and case to protect him, because I cant seem to leave him at home. He comes with me everywhere, to work, in the car, to the cabin, in bed, everywhere.

Also, I need to think up a suitable name for him, I am thinking perhaps Grosvenor? (Pronounced Grow-vs-ner) or Winston? something studious….
