Wow, did you hear that collective sigh of relief? Now that that is out of the way, it's time for me to become laser focused on New Year's Eve festivities. What dishes will I be making this year? And how many? I would love for it to be spectacular and amazing. Or maybe I should dazzle with simplicity? Need to ruminate on this. This is an aside, but I feel that I will eventually need to get a panini press.
ATM is taking time off from work this week, so we will have togetherness. We might get a house project done this week. Maybe install the mag knife strip? Hang some art? My goal is to make good use of time & be a creator. Speaking of creating...this is exciting; either Micah or Zach one (I think) will build this for me, eventually:
It's just what I need! A little space just for me. And when I'm finished, I can just close shop and wheel it into the corner. Brilliant. I love finding ways to make our small home fit our needs.
Another project that is in the very early stages is a recipe zine that me & my closest pals are going to assemble & possibly gift next yule season. We will fill it with our tried & true recipes and Heather will design it. I have visions of instructional photos and other little personal touches to make it nice & pretty. The best part about it is that I'm doing a project with friends. I love those girls!
Aunt Pati & Uncle David sent an accompanying business card with their Christmas card this year. It was an invitation for us to visit them in Colorado. I want to. Need to figure out a way to fit this into our schedule and budget. I think ATM will love mystical (yes, I said mystical) Colorado. Maybe a long weekend at the Trail Canyon Ranch? I haven't seen Pati & David for years and I only have fond memories of staying with them during my teen summers.
I am in love with Patti Smith's book Just Kids. Recommended. I'm down to reading just a few pages at a time because I'm trying to delay the end. She writes well and makes me feel beautiful. She speaks of hanging with greats (Jim Carroll, to name one) so casually, like she is a normal person who was at the right time & place. It's a good story, even if it's true.
I haven't walked since last Tuesday. INeedaWalk.

On Friday night, a friend of mine let me borrow her hardback copy of Just Kids, and I have sped-read through it, unable to slow down, simply because it is SO. DAMN. GOOD. Thanks for the recommendation. xo.
Isn't it lovely? It is my most borrowed book!
I will have to buy my own copy, so I can dog-ear its pages and underline my favorite lines... there are so many!
