Catch Up

Guilty pleasure -> Catching up on past Glee episodes. I am a sucker for duets and I got a whole episode full of them.

 

Phoebe Yip

I sold a chair on craigslist today to a very sweet woman named Phoebe Yip.  We got to talking and she told me she is getting her Etsy shop up and running to sell her wares.  You know you have some extra pieces of wood laying around your house just waiting for some embellishment.  Check her out at www.littlecarpenter.com.
 

Training Dragons

It all started with one cereal box.  Blake grabbed a box of Cheerios at the store today because it had a free DVD sampler of How To Train Your Dragon.  After the sampler, he built his own dragon out of Legos.  He brought it to me and asked if I would like to pet his dragon named Little Soft Spot.  I thought that was a very cute name and asked him questions about his dragon.  He told me it was Little Soft Spot's birthday tomorrow.  I asked if his birthday could be today so I could make some birthday cupcakes.  We had a little party in his honor after lunch today.  A girl doesn't need much of an excuse to bake cupcakes!!!

At It Again

Russian River Brewing Company's Pliny the Younger extravaganza.  Just beginning...

Wild Pandas Running Free

Great weather for a trip to a historic farm.

Still

I usually stay away from Andrew's hippy-dippy farming magazines, but February's cover of Mother Earth News said "Artisan Home Distilling How-To." This peaked my interest and now I have thoughts of sugar plums running through my head, minus the sugar part.

 ::note I am already using still-ing jokes::

I am not the biggest brandy wine drinker (have I ever had it?), but the process just seems so darn cool to me.  I have visions of Al-Ambiqs on old lady's stoves bubbling away like a mad scientists' lab.  Who knows if it even makes noise?  An expensive hobby to start, but it is in the back of my brain for when I decided I have no kids to buy clothes/diapers/food for and have tons of time on my hands.
